# What is the Checker Node License (NFT)

{% hint style="warning" %}
This is an archived page. For the latest information, refer to the [checker guide](/checker-guide.md).
{% endhint %}

The Checker Node License, which is an ERC721 NFT, allows you to earn rewards by running a Checker Node Client. You can choose to run your Checker Node Client on your own machine, through a [VPS or NaaS](/checker-nodes-explained/what-is-a-checker-node/virtual-private-servers-vps-and-node-as-a-service-naas-provider.md), or [delegate](/checker-nodes-explained/delegation.md) to another user's machine.

You can purchase your NFT either from checker.aethir.com, or through secondary market in the future.

Contracts will be released soon, so stay tuned for further updates.&#x20;

Claim Process: After the cut-off time for Batch 1 eligibility, users who purchased nodes will not be allowed to transfer them to others. They can only claim the NFTs for themselves on the claim page. Currently, NFTs can only be claimed for the purchaser's own wallet.

Checker Node NFT Licenses are non-transferable from the purchase wallet.
