Historical / Cohort #2 terms

The figures below ( 5 NEAR monthly fee on the 1st of each month, and 40,000 NEAR program delegation) are the published terms for Node Studio Program cohort #2 as documented for that cohort. They are not a current universal Node Studio rate card. Live Node Studio marketing (verified 2026-09-22) is at https://nodestudio.metapool.app and advertises from $25 or less, plus marketing callouts about 10,000 NEAR (delegation-support application) and 25,000 NEAR (ready-to-launch) thresholds — confirm current pricing and any open program on the live site before applying or paying. Exact current program delegation amounts are not published publicly without a wallet.

Payment details

• Monthly Fee: 5 NEAR Tokens.
• Payment Method: NEAR (via Meta Pool platform) https://nodestudio.metapool.app/
• Payment Date: The charge will be made on the 1st of each month.

How to Pay the Monthly Fee?

Step 1: Go to https://nodestudio.metapool.app/

Step 2: Connect the NEAR wallet you want to use for the payment.

Step 3: Add your validator and complete the required information.

Step 4: Add the amount of NEAR you want to keep in your account. You can deposit any amount you wish (min. 5 NEAR). These tokens will always remain in your possession and can be withdrawn at any time. Meta Pool will only take 5 NEAR tokens on the 1st day of each month.

• For example, if you deposit 10 NEAR, Meta Pool will take 5 NEAR on the first day of the next month, and the remaining 5 NEAR the following month.

• This system allows users to prepay for as many months as they want without having to deposit additional NEAR every month.
