Become a farmer
Farmers on the Autonomys Network are responsible for maintaining consensus, they do this by securing the consensus chain. A farmer plots pieces of archival history to disk, farms the created plot for block and vote rewards, and joins the DSN as a node for data retrieval.
Choose one of the following methods to start farming on the Network (from easy to more complex):
- Start Farming with Space Acres
- Start Farming with Advanced CLI
Become a nominator
Farmers can nominate operators and back them with their tokens, increasing their stake and chance of being elected as slot leaders. Generally speaking, any SSC token holder can stake their tokens by nominating a domain operator without having to become an operator or farmer themselves. Nominators earn staking rewards, proportional to their staking amount and pay the operator a pre-agreed tax on them.
