# Node Squads
### Run Nodes With Your Tribe
Scale Rewards. Compound Reach. Build Collective Edge.
Running a single node earns you a share of Bluwhale’s intelligence layer.\
But building a node community takes that potential—and multiplies it.
When you stake and activate nodes with your network, you unlock access to stackable performance bonuses that reward coordination, not just capital.
#### Here's Why It Works Better:
1\. Networked Activation = Higher Yield\
The more nodes your community runs—and keeps active—the greater the bonus multiplier:
* 10,000+ vBLUAI: 2% bonus\
* 50,000+ vBLUAI: 4% bonus\
* 100,000+ vBLUAI: 8% bonus\
* 200,000+ vBLUAI: 16% bonus\
* 300,000+ vBLUAI: 18% bonus\
These are on top of the base APYs you already earn from node staking.

2\. Earn Together, Win Together\
Each community functions like a shared yield engine.\
By inviting friends and aligning node activity, you’re not just mining rewards—you’re architecting a shared economic layer that pays everyone involved.
***
3\. Leaderboards and Tier Boosts\
Top-performing communities rise on the Bluwhale leaderboard—gaining visibility, status, and access to even more benefits.\
Hit Tier 88, and your squad unlocks an additional 2% bonus—a strategic edge for the most organized node groups.
***
4\. More than Incentives—It’s Reputation\
In Bluwhale, the strongest node communities aren’t just earning more.\
They’re forming the backbone of the intelligence economy—contributing the most signal, activating the most value, and owning their piece of the AI infrastructure.
***
Build your tribe. Run your stack.\
And get paid like an owner.
Let me know if you want this restructured for campaign copy, an onboarding guide, or a community explainer.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://bluwhale.gitbook.io/bluwhaleai/ai-nodes/node-squads.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
