Chef Node runs World Mobile EarthNodes on behalf of NFT holders. One small setup fee, no infrastructure headaches — just clean epochs and rewards that arrive on time.
01 · The Primitive
Three modules in one box, operated together. Each EarthNode does the work of a blockchain validator, an identity provider, and a piece of telecom infrastructure — all at once.
Validates transactions, produces blocks, and settles WMTx rewards each epoch. This is the part that earns.
Rewards land in your wallet at the end of every epoch. We never touch them.
Decentralized identity for subscribers. Every SIM is a DID anchored to the node — portable, verifiable, user-owned.
No honeypot database. No SIM-swap exploit vector. The user is the root of trust.
Routes actual voice, SMS, and data for World Mobile subscribers. This is the part that connects the real world.
Every packet routed is a micro-transaction settled back to the node.
02 · Why us
Running an EarthNode well is an infrastructure problem, not a side-project. Here's what we bring to the table so you don't have to.
Dual-ISP on independent carriers. Energy and power independent — offgrid massive solar powered battery bank.
High availability across the entire stack. Your node doesn't care if the power drops for a day, if a breaker trips, or if an upstream ISP has a bad Tuesday.
Real epochs, real peers, real incidents handled — not a slide deck.
Closed-user-group operations gave us the habits that matter: upgrade discipline, incident notes, peer monitoring, and recovery workflows before customer nodes depend on them.
Revenue share after the setup fee. If your node misses an epoch, we miss our cut.
The model stays simple after setup: we participate in upside only when the node produces. That keeps our focus on reliability, reporting, and keeping every epoch clean.
Prometheus, Grafana, on-call humans. Every epoch checked, every alert triaged.
Metrics are watched across host, VM, node client, peers, storage, and network edge. Alerts become action items, not inbox noise for the NFT holder.
03 · Proof layer
Technical buyers ask for controls, restore proof, access rules, and scope. These are the pieces we map into every operator conversation before a node goes live.
Encrypted validator keys with role-limited operator actions.
ZFS snapshots, tiered replication, and tracked recovery drills.
IDS/IPS, proxies, sentry gateway, and no direct validator route.
Backup cadence, VaaS access, and SLA mapped into the agreement.
Every EarthNode is hardened, monitored, backed up, and review-ready.
Validator keys are encrypted at rest with documented backup and revocation paths.
Point-in-time snapshots, off-site replication cadence, and restore drills tracked by runbook.
Ingress controls sit before the sentry, with escalation paths and incident review.
Baseline hosting, Tier 2 enablement, and Tier 3 VaaS access are written into scope.
Review the infrastructure, controls, and diligence pack before reserving a node.
04 · By the numbers
Connect with us to review your needs. Sign the operator agreement. Takes under ten minutes.
We spin up hardware, run the key-ceremony, register your node on-chain, and hand back a signed attestation. You don't touch a terminal.
WMTx arrives in a multisig wallet each epoch. Both parties sign to release funds — full transparency, no surprises.

07 · Questions
World Mobile settles rewards every epoch to each EarthNode based on a basket of factors — not just "performance." The big ones: uptime and SLA quality, how many value-added services your node is running (AI inference, storage, VPN, etc.), how often the node participates in consensus, the WMTx delegation power your node carries from delegators subscribed to it, and the volume of transactions your node helps process within the epoch. Our split with you is set in your operator agreement and is a percentage of what the node actually earns — settled on-chain, visible in your dashboard and any WM block explorer.
Epoch length is set by World Mobile and isn't a fixed wall-clock number — it can vary as the protocol matures. Practically, what matters for you is that every epoch we settle on time, the dashboard shows the per-epoch payout, and the contract split runs automatically. If WM changes the epoch cadence, nothing changes in our agreement with you.
It's a percentage of what the node earns. The standard tiers are listed in pricing; your operator agreement locks the exact tier, setup terms, and any multi-node adjustments. The mechanics are the same in every case: it's a percentage of node earnings, it's automatic on-chain, and we only earn when the node earns.
The NFT is yours — we never custody it. If you sell or transfer it, rewards simply start flowing to the new holder's wallet on the next epoch. If the new holder wants to continue with Chef Node, they re-sign. If not, we hand off keys and close out cleanly.
No. The EarthNode NFT stays in your wallet for the entire engagement. We operate the node through a delegated signing model — enough authority to run validator operations, but no authority to transfer the NFT, sell it, or re-stake it elsewhere. You can revoke the operator delegation at any time.
None on our side. You can end operator service any time with 30 days notice — we need that to migrate keys, hand over credentials, and close out the contract cleanly. World Mobile itself may have its own epoch-level mechanics that affect when on-chain rewards unlock or when delegators can re-route — those rules come from WM, not from us.
Yes — and it directly affects rewards. The more WMTx delegated to your node, the more weight your node carries, and the larger the share of epoch rewards it earns. Part of running a credible node is being someone delegators trust: high uptime, clean SLA history, real infrastructure, transparent operations. We help with that — the dashboard, the on-chain settlement history, the SLA reporting are all things delegators look at before subscribing.
Tier 1-3 nodes run on enterprise Supermicro A+ hardware in our managed facility — hypervisor-isolated, dual-ISP, sentry-gated, on-premise (no public cloud, no third-party custody). For Managed mode, your node lives wherever you put your hardware — we just run the software, monitoring, and incident response remotely.
We handle it. WM client upgrades, consensus parameter changes, validator software bumps, security patches — all in scope. You're notified before anything that affects your node, and the dashboard shows the maintenance window. No action required from you in 99% of cases.
World Mobile's protocol can penalize nodes for downtime, double-signing, or misbehavior — that's true of any validator network. The whole point of our infrastructure stack (HA hardware, redundant networking, hypervisor isolation, 24/7 monitoring on Tier 3) is to keep your node out of those situations. If a penalty ever does occur due to operator negligence on our side, that's covered in the SLA terms of your tier.
Our fee is always a percentage of what the node actually earns, whatever that ends up being in whatever token. If WM restructures, your split with us stays exactly the same. We absorb the operational change; you absorb the market change.
Yes — multi-node operators are common and we discount per-node setup beyond the first. Each node runs in its own isolated VM with its own keys, but you get a single dashboard, a single point of contact, and consolidated reporting across all of them.
You get a live dashboard with per-epoch settlement history, uptime, peer count, blocks produced, mesh participation, and the on-chain reward stream. Everything is independently verifiable on a WM block explorer — we don't ask you to trust our numbers. SLA reports are emailed monthly, and you can pull raw metrics via API on Tier 2+.
Clean handoff — that's part of why we use a delegated signing model. We export your keys (encrypted, your custody), revoke the operator delegation on-chain, send you a final settlement statement, and step out. No data hostage situation. The NFT was always yours; it just keeps earning under whoever you delegate to next.
