Privacy tech doesn't just exist in white papers. It lives on nodes you can actually run.

Lock up 10K BDX tokens and you're spinning up a masternode that does three things at once: validates transactions on the chain, routes encrypted traffic through BelNet's decentralized VPN layer, and anchors the whole privacy stack. The setup pays roughly 10% annually.

The entry threshold isn't astronomical. You're looking at a five-figure token commitment to participate in infrastructure that doesn't rely on centralized relays or trust assumptions. Transaction validation happens peer-to-peer. VPN routing skips the corporate middleman. The security model distributes across operators instead of pooling in data centers.

That 10% return? It's compensation for keeping the network functional, not just passive staking rewards. You're bandwidth, you're validation, you're the reason encrypted traffic moves without chokepoints.
