# Inferium Node FAQ

### Is it easy to run an Inferium Node?

Yes. Running an Inferium Node is designed to be simple and accessible for both technical and non-technical users.

* One-click installer 
* No coding required
* Runs on most modern computers or cloud instances
* User-friendly dashboard to monitor your node

### What are the minimum technical requirements?

| Resource       | Minimum Requirement                        |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| CPU            | Quad-core (Intel i5/Ryzen 5 or higher)     |
| RAM            | 8 GB                                       |
| Storage        | 128 GB SSD                                 |
| OS             | Windows, macOS, Linux (Ubuntu preferred)   |
| Network        | Stable internet, 10 Mbps up/down           |
| GPU (Optional) | For AI inference acceleration (NVIDIA GPU) |

Cloud-based options (AWS, GCP, Vultr) are also supported.

### What do Inferium Nodes actually do?

* Run AI inference jobs for text, image, and multimodal models
* Host and deploy AI models/agents
* Validate inference outputs through Proof-of-Inference
* Detect fraud or manipulated AI outputs
* Benchmark and rate models 

### How do I earn rewards?

You earn IFR tokens for:

* Running inference tasks
* Hosting models/agents
* Validating tasks for accuracy
* Participating in benchmarking 

Other benefits include:

* Access to exclusive AI models
* Personalized agents
* Multiplied Inferno Points for early adopters

### What makes Inferium different from other node projects?

* AI-first infrastructure (not just storage or general compute)
* Proof-of-Inference to verify real execution
* Multimodal AI support: text, vision, video, agents
* On-chain benchmarking and evaluation
* Integrated studio for AI agent deployment

### Is my node activity verifiable?

Yes. All inference jobs are recorded on-chain using Proof-of-Inference, ensuring you are credited fairly for your work.

### Do I need AI knowledge?

No. You don’t need any machine learning or data science experience to run a node. All heavy lifting is handled by the Inferium platform.

### When can I start running my node?

To be announced after TGE

### Can I run multiple nodes?

Yes, you can run multiple nodes depending on hardware capacity and network policies. Each node needs one license.
