Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers about our DePIN validator node firmware development, security, and deployment process.
A standard validator node firmware project takes 4-8 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. This includes a 1-week discovery phase, 2-4 weeks of core development, 1 week for internal security review, and 1-2 weeks for client testing and deployment automation. Complex integrations (e.g., custom hardware, novel consensus) may extend this timeline, which we scope and quote upfront.
