R0AR announces Node sales plan: promoting "democratization of Layer 2 infrastructure" and rewarding community participation

R0AR, a DeFi application based on Optimism, announced its node sales plan to democratize the infrastructure of its Layer 2 network, R0ARchain. Starting August 25, 2025, global participants can purchase node licenses to jointly maintain network security and earn validator rewards to drive the future of community-owned DeFi finance.

First node sale on Optimism Superchain to help community own high-performance DeFi infrastructure R0AR, the leading unified decentralized finance (DeFi) superapplication built on Optimism's OP Stack, today announced its node sales program to enable global participants to own and operate R0ARchain Layer 2 (Layer 2) critical infrastructure for the network. Starting August 25, 2025, individuals and institutions worldwide can purchase R0AR node licenses to earn validator rewards while contributing to cybersecurity. This marks a pivotal moment for decentralized finance, as R0AR became one of the first second-tier (Layer 2) ecosystems to give the community validator infrastructure through a structured node sales program, while also incorporating Ethereum (Ethereum) of security and accessibility for community participation. Addressing the Layer 2 Infrastructure Ownership Gap Despite explosive adoption of Layer 2 solutions and more than $15 billion in total locked-in value processed by optimistic rollups (TVL), most of the infrastructure remains concentrated in the hands of a small number of institutional validators. R0AR's node sales program democratizes this critical infrastructure, allowing anyone to own and operate validator nodes while earning rewards by securing the network. "Traditional Layer 2 (Layer 2) networks require users to trust centralized sequencers and validators," explains Dustin Hedrick, co-founder and CTO of R0AR. "We're disrupting this paradigm so that our communities have direct ownership of the infrastructure that powers their financial sovereignty. It's not just about earning rewards, it's about having the future of decentralized finance." With the decentralized finance (DeFi) market value expected to reach $231 billion by 2030, the infrastructure supporting these protocols must evolve from centralized gatekeepers to community-owned networks to coordinate incentives between users, validators, and protocols. Combining technological innovation and community empowerment As the core of the R0ARchain validator network, R0AR nodes perform key functions, including: Transaction verification: Verify and process all on-chain transactions Data availability: Ensure transaction data remains accessible and verifiable Cybersecurity: Contribute to consensus and fraud proof mechanisms Cross-chain operation: Supports (Ethereum) with Ethereum Seamless bridging with other Superchain (Superchain) networks Unlike traditional validator setups that require complex technical knowledge, R0AR nodes are designed to be easily accessible: Minimum hardware requirements Storage: 250 GB SSD [will increase as the chain height increases]. Memory: 16 GB CPU: 8 vCPU Three operating models Self-hosted: Run nodes on personal hardware or virtual private server (VPS) providers Node-as-a-Service ( license pool ): Delegate operations to a specialized vendor, such as [NaaS]. Partners] Hybrid Model: Combining Self-Hosted and Professional Backup Services Node Sales Structure Drawing on Aethir's successful node sales experience of raising over $60 million, R0AR designed a tiered pricing structure to reward early participation while ensuring broad community access: *Final tier structure and total supply will be announced separately *USD equivalent is based on ETH price of $4,500 at launch Strategic Partners Early Access to Executive R0AR Society NFT holders: 5-day early access R0AR Country Club members: 5-day early access Early Adopters OG $1R0R Holder: 5-day early access Multi-Revenue Node Economics R0AR node operators benefit from multiple potential revenue streams, creating sustainable, long-term incentives: Primary validator rewards Basic distribution: Paid in $ETH tokens Performance rewards: Paid in 1R0R Network fee distribution: a portion of all transaction fees for R0ARchain The Future: Cross-Chain Revenue: Bridging and Interoperability Cost Sharing More coming soon!
