# xNodes NATIX Network uses a system of Validator Nodes called “xNodes.” Users who commit to the 90-day “deep” staking can become xNodes to verify the data integrity of the network. Any user can become an xNode based on the number of available slots and the amount of $NATIX staked. xNodes who stake the most $NATIX will earn a fixed amount of $NATIX per month. The number of xNodes will scale with the size of the network and the volume of data being produced. --- # 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.
