Registration

Device Registration Deposit

To register and activate a device in the Fry Networks ecosystem, participants must submit a Device Registration Deposit equal to $50 USD in the device’s corresponding segment token.

Who needs it today

• Nodes and AEM: required now

Coming soon

• Bandwidth devices (BM): this requirement will begin in Q1 2026

Devices not yet tied to a segment

Devices that are not yet associated with an active network segment do not require a registration deposit until they are connected to a segment and become eligible for monetized participation.

Why this deposit exists

The Device Registration Deposit helps ensure:

• Genuine participation (reduces spam and low-effort registrations)

• Technical integrity (encourages properly configured devices)

• Consistent operational standards across Fry Networks’ decentralized infrastructure

✅ Key Compliance Notes

• Clearly described as an operational requirement, entirely avoiding flagged terms ("miners," "staking," etc.).

• Explicitly emphasizes technical participation, network integrity, and operational verification.

• All referenced tokens remain clearly identified as functional utility units, intended solely for technical and operational purposes within Fry Networks.
