KIP
KIP provides data and payment rails to connect owners of AI assets – models, apps and datasets – letting them compete and collaborate freely within a decentralized ecosystem.
As in any decentralized system, KIP's goal is trustless coordination: requiring legions of indexers, validators, checkers, voters, bundlers, and RPC providers. From the validators who update the underlying chain, to the indexers who make on-chain data available for query, to the voters who exercise governance powers.
Checker Nodes within KIP Protocol's system play a role in both the operations and the governance of the system as a whole and are rewarded in $KIP.

Step 7: Complete the Delegation Process
A pop-up window will appear. Select the licenses to which you want to delegate your Node, click “Delegate,” and sign the transaction. Ensure you have sufficient ETH in your wallet to cover gas fees.
Step 8: Confirm and Verify
Your KIP Checker Node is now fully deployed. Return to Nodefolio to confirm the status of your Node. The status will change from “Click to Delegate” to “Running,” indicating successful setup.
You're now ready to start earning rewards with your KIP Checker Node!
