Infrastructure nodes form the operational backbone of the Minutes Network ecosystem. These are not symbolic validators or passive staking endpoints. They are designed to support live telecommunications functions, processing real international voice traffic, routing calls, monitoring quality, and maintaining the health and integrity of the network in real time.

The network operates on 3,000 DePIN Nodes, split into two principal categories:

· 500 Switch Nodes handle traffic routing and voice termination.

· 2,500 Validation Nodes monitor network health, call quality, and system integrity.

Together, they create the decentralised infrastructure environment on which the broader reward economy is built. Every call processed through the node network generates the revenue that funds algorithmic MNTx purchases, with 70% of all distributed rewards flowing to node operators and stakers.
