Overview
The Galactica Node Distribution (GND) is a process whereby one can make a donation for a digital certificate that when enabled, allows the holder to perform tasks that determine a weight of the user relative to other eligible users in a GNET inflation distribution process. Only the holders of such digital certificates are eligible to compete for inflation rewards.
Two distinct types of such certificates exist: Galactica Citizen Node (GCN) and Galactica Node Shard (GNS). The key differences between them are the price, activation process, functionality, attainable tasks, and eligible reward pools.
