Want to maximize your earnings in the Dusk Network ecosystem? It's actually very simple—just run a node.

Recent test data is quite eye-catching: 40 nodes generate a monthly income of $400, and this is just the basic reward. The key is to choose the right node type, maintain stable online status, and then sit back and enjoy the 1 million DUSK reward pool from the ITN testnet.

**How to choose a node?**

For beginners, the first choice is the Unity Node, which has low thresholds and doesn't require large staking. It's easy to get familiar with the process quickly. If you're aiming for higher returns, you can consider the Provisioner Node, but this requires a certain staking amount. The verification logic for both node types is actually the same—complete network verification tasks to earn rewards, with the only difference being the reward tiers.

**Online uptime really matters**

Remember the number 75%. Nodes participating in the ITN testnet must maintain an online rate of over 75%, otherwise you won't share the 1 million DUSK reward pool, and future airdrops won't be available to you either. Simply put, more nodes and stable online status lead to higher earnings. Rewards are distributed based on the number of nodes and contribution levels—more effort equals more rewards.

**New gameplay coming soon**

The platform is also preparing new task modules, which will offer more ways to increase reward limits. This is a long-term ecosystem. If you're entering now, seizing this ITN testnet window is crucial.
