## Quote — verbatim

> Each Starbond is an NFT that represents ownership in a specific node. When you mint one, you're backing the deployment of a real-world rack by a node keeper in a real facility serving real AI workloads. In return, you earn a pro-rata share of the node's revenue automatically on chain without intermediaries. It's like staking, but instead of securing a blockchain, you're powering intelligence.
