Introduction

The first wave of HELIX Nodes is available free of charge to individuals who operated Gala Founder’s Nodes during May 2024. To qualify, nodes must have maintained at least 80% uptime during that period.

This early access program rewards Gala Founder Node operators who demonstrated consistency and commitment to decentralization.

To claim your HELIX Nodes, you'll need to complete a short verification process via the Helix Node Sale page.

Gas Fees on BNB Network

HELIX Nodes are minted as BEP-1155 NFTs on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC). To complete your node claim, you'll need to pay a small gas fee in BNB tokens. 

Ensure your connected wallet has enough BNB to cover this fee before minting.

How to Get BNB Tokens

If you don’t have BNB in your wallet, you’ll need to bridge or purchase it:

• Follow our guide: How to Bridge Tokens to BNB Network
• Or buy BNB directly on platforms like Binance and transfer it to your BSC wallet.
