Oracle Node Election Process

This document outlines the process for becoming an Oracle Node operator through an election.

Step 1: Meet the Requirements

Before you can participate in an election, you must meet all the hardware, software, and staking requirements for an Oracle Node. This includes staking exactly 150,000 NODR (approximately $105,000 at the $0.70/NODR reference price) and holding a TrustFingerprint score of at least 0.80. Staked NODR is subject to the unified 21-day unstaking period.

Step 2: Announce Your Candidacy

Announce your candidacy for an Oracle Node position on the Noderr governance forum. You will be asked to provide a detailed proposal outlining your qualifications, experience, and vision for the protocol.

Step 3: Community Campaign

Campaign for your candidacy within the Noderr community. This is your opportunity to convince token holders and other node operators that you are the right person for the job.

Step 4: Election Vote

An onchain election is held in the Oracle Chamber. Confirming a candidate requires a 66% Oracle supermajority vote. There is no fixed number of seats: the active Oracle set is determined dynamically by election outcomes (subject to a protocol ceiling of 100), not by a fixed-rank popularity contest. Candidates who clear the 66% threshold, alongside the 150,000 NODR stake and the 0.80 TrustFingerprint requirement, are confirmed as Oracle Node operators.

The election process is competitive. Before announcing your candidacy, ensure you meet the verifiable criteria: a 150,000 NODR stake (subject to the 21-day unstaking period), a TrustFingerprint score of at least 0.80, and the governance approval and NFT gating required for Oracle status. Confirmation requires a 66% Oracle supermajority in the Oracle Chamber.
