### How many nodes can each user purchase each round?&#x20;

In the public sale, there is a hard cap of how many Nodes can a user purchase from lower Tiers to ensure a fair distribution, check out [Node Purchase Caps](/checker-nodes-explained/checker-node-sale-dynamics/node-purchase-caps.md) for more details. For the whitelist sale, whitelisted addresses will have limited node allocation depending on the whitelist campaign they participated in.&#x20;

### How will the node licences be distributed?

After purchasing a node licence on <https://checker.aethir.com>, node licences will be distributed as an NFT to the purchase wallet of the user. Only the wallet with the node licence can then operate the node and earn ATH tokens as rewards.

### Is <https://checker.aethir.com/> the only entry point for the sale?

All public and Whitelist sale cards will be available on this front-end except for Partnered Launchpads like Impossible Finance and Seedify, in which case the front end will be on Aethir Partners' website.
