First Data Infrastructure Mint on Polygon: Launching Over 10,000 Data Nodes 🚀
We are thrilled to announce this incredible opportunity for our community to participate and get involved in our Composable Data Network, starting on January 25th. This is a huge step in our mission to democratize data accessibility within web3. We invite you to be a part of this.
Why is this a Big Deal?
In a strong partnership with Polygon, we are planning the first-ever infrastructure NFT mint on this chain. This is a unique opportunity for you to participate in the Polygon PoS network and acquire Powerloom Snapshotter Lite node slots through a one-time mint. Acquiring these slots involves the issuance of Soul-Bound Tokens (SBTs), which grant the holders the ability to operate nodes within the Powerloom network.
By operating a node you:
- Are empowered to contribute actively to the network’s growth,
- Enable yourself to earn rewards for your contributions,
- Benefit a wide range of decentralized applications (dApps) and services,
- Make an impact in not only the Polygon ecosystem but the broader Ethereum landscape
- Play a role in redefining standards for onchain data processing, accessibility, and composability.
This new node initiative is a lighter version of Powerloom's existing Snapshotter node, tailored to be user-friendly and requiring minimal technical experience.
Unlock the power of onchain data by becoming a Powerloom Snapshotter.
Individual Snapshotters will receive a soul-bound NFT on Polygon PoS for participating in our network. The tiers for the node mint will follow a clearing price model. We plan on limiting 10 slots per address. Similar to phase 1 of the Testnet, we will announce an incentivized testnet for these holders, which will eventually follow by mainnet rewards. They can join as soon as they mint their slot. However, they must pass KYC from unrestricted jurisdictions to claim rewards.
Before we open up the mint to the public, we are planning a 48-hour mint window exclusively for wallets from:
- Powerloom Community: 4000 slots
- Partners: 1000 slots to select partners and ecosystem participants
- Pre-Mint Winners: 5000 randomly chosen slots from qualified pre-mint addresses.
To further breakdown Powerloom Community participants, the slots are distributed as follows:
- Testnet OGs: 1 slot
- At least one onchain task done during Phase2: 1 slot (max)
- CoinList KYC: 1 slot
- Testnet Snapshotter: 10 slots (maximum 10)
Community members who mint nodes will be given ranked access on Discord and early access to a suite of Powerloom’s offerings in the near future.

A note from our founder: Swaroop Hegde
“By making our node initiative more accessible, we invite broader participation while fostering a learning culture. This approach allows participants to directly engage with and understand the architecture of a protocol that has been decentralized from the start. These new nodes testify to our commitment to creating a composable and accessible data network that empowers users and developers alike.”
