What is Bond? — NodeOps Glossary
Bond — Bonding is the process of locking $NODE tokens to register a machine with the NodeOps Protocol. Unlike staking in a Proof of Stake (PoS) mechanism, bonding provides economic alignment between Compute providers and the protocol's decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN). The bonded tokens serve as collateral that will be slashed if the provider fails to maintain their agreed Service Level Agreement (SLA).
