#### 📊 Diagram Explanation: MPRO Autostake – ETH Distribution Process

<br>

This diagram outlines the full process through which MPROLab NODE contributors—both Legacy and Next-Gen—can participate in the new Autostake model and gain access to ETH distribution.

<br>

Step-by-Step Breakdown:

1. Acquire the License

   Users purchase either a ggNODE or iNODE license from MPROLab.
2. Set Up the NODE

   Users configure and activate their NODE based on the purchased license (no tech knowledge required for ggNODE).
3. NODE Operation

   As the NODE runs, it contributes computing uptime, which is tracked for participation.
4. $MPRO Distribution Based on Uptime

   All NODEs receive $MPRO distributions according to operational uptime.

#### Autostake Participation Paths:

<br>

**🔁 Legacy NODE Users (Joined Before 30.09.2024):**

* Must stake 20,000 $MPRO per NODE per wallet.
* Enter through a Declaration Period.
* Once accepted, users enter the MPRO Autostaking Period.
* Qualified participants then receive ETH distribution.
* Note: Partial staking disqualifies the wallet from ETH distribution.

<br>

**🚀 Next-Gen NODE Users (Joined After 30.09.2024):**

* No staking required.
* Simply confirm participation during the Declaration Period.
* Automatically enter the MPRO Autostaking Period.
* Participants then receive ETH distribution.
* Legacy NODEs in wallets that also contain Next-Gen NODEs are treated as eligible.
