AO launches Alpha phase of network availability staking program

Foresight News reports that the Arweave computing platform AO has launched the alpha phase of its Network Available Staking Arrangement (NASA) program. Arweave node operators can earn AO rewards by running HyperBEAM nodes, which provide data services for AO and Arweave gateways. The amount of rewards is proportional to the number of gateway requests served by the node. This program aims to enhance the decentralization and long-term stability of permaweb’s core infrastructure.
