# Node Purchase Caps The lowest tiers have low caps so that the community can access Aethir nodes at lower prices. This is Aethir’s way of contributing to the network’s decentralization and ensuring a fairer distribution of node licenses. * The lowest price tiers 1, 2, 3, and 4 have caps of 5, 10, 15, and 30 nodes per buyer to ensure that most community members can access Aethir nodes at lower prices. * Tiers 5 and 6 have a cap of 50 and 100 nodes. * Tiers 7-10 have a cap of 200 nodes per buyer. * Tiers 11-18 have a cap of 500 nodes per buyer. * The remaining 35 price tiers don’t have a purchasing cap. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
