Nodes Auction & Staking: Q1 2026 Alpha
The roadmap for Q1 2026 mentions "Nodes auction and staking." This is a major deflationary catalyst.
To run a node and earn fees, operators will likely need to bid or lock up significant amounts of $AT. This removes supply from the open market.
We are currently in the phase before this mechanism goes live. Accumulating $AT while it is liquid, before node operators start scrambling for supply, is the smart play.
