MPRO Lab NFT Licence: your seat, your node, your share
A licence is an NFT on Base that ties three things together: the right to run a node, a share in the daily MPRO distribution, and a voice in the DAO. Two types exist today:
- iNODE — the full licence, with full distribution weight and full DAO weight.
- ggNODE — the light licence, with a proportionally smaller weight.
After you connect your wallet, open /user-licenses to see every licence your wallet holds, its type, its status, and its actions.
What the list tells you
Each row carries the licence's ID — the platform's own identifier, shortened to fit and copied with one click. Quote it when you ask the community or support about a specific licence; it is the fastest way to be sure everyone is talking about the same one.
Two dates sit side by side, and the difference between them matters once licences change hands:
- Created — when the licence came into existence. It never changes.
- Purchase date — when you acquired it. Bought new, the two are the same day; bought from another holder, this is the day it became yours.
Every column sorts — click a heading, click again to reverse it.
Your licence key
Each licence has its own licence key, available from the row menu after you sign. It is not the licence ID: the ID names the licence publicly, the key authenticates as that licence. Treat it the way you would any API key — it is yours, it is secret, and anyone holding it can act for that licence.
You do not need it for anything on this site today. It exists because the Terminal and the automation work being built on top of the platform will use it, and it is ready now so nobody is waiting on it later. Keys are available for iNODE and ggNODE.
The distribution belongs to the licence, not the wallet
This is the single most important rule on this page:
Every day's distribution is credited to the licence itself. Whoever owns the licence NFT owns everything it has accrued and not yet claimed.
Consequences worth reading twice:
- When you claim, you claim the full unclaimed distribution of every licence your wallet currently holds.
- When you transfer or sell a licence, its unclaimed distribution travels with it. The new owner can claim it.
- If you want to keep what a licence has already earned, claim first, transfer second. The interface reminds you, but the rule is worth knowing by heart.
Transfers
Every licence can be transferred from /user-licenses — open the row menu and choose Transfer licence. Transfers move one licence at a time; there is no bundling, so every move is explicit and auditable. Each transfer ends with a transaction link — your proof, on Basescan.
Two facts that make transfers safe:
- A transfer never interrupts accrual. The licence keeps earning through the very day it changes hands; the day's credit simply lands with the owner of record.
- Nothing about the licence changes — same token, same history, same storage space, new owner.
A transfer or purchase made through the platform is reflected the moment it confirms — the licence leaves the sender's list and appears on the receiver's right away. A movement made outside the platform (a wallet-to-wallet send from another app, an external marketplace) is picked up by the background indexer within about a minute. If your licence list ever looks stale, use the refresh icon; if that does not settle it, tell the MPRO Lab community.
Selling
Licences trade on the Marketplace for MPRO at a fixed price — see the Marketplace section. Remember the rule above: a listed licence carries its unclaimed distribution, and that is visible value for the buyer. Price accordingly, or claim first.
While a licence is listed, its distribution is locked. You cannot mint or claim what a listed licence has accrued — that value is part of what the buyer is buying, and the platform reserves it for the sale. Want to mint it after all? Cancel the listing, mint, and list again. Your other licences are unaffected: the lock applies to the listed licence only, and the distribution page shows both your full balance and the amount available right now.
What the platform verifies at payout
Every mint checks two things on the blockchain, not in our database, for each licence it pays:
- that your wallet still owns it — so a licence you have just sent away stops counting for you the moment the chain says so, even before our indexing catches up;
- that it is not listed for sale — so a seller cannot drain a licence a buyer is about to pay for.
If either check cannot be read, the licence is skipped for that attempt rather than paid — try again in a minute. This is what makes "the distribution belongs to the licence" enforceable, not just written down.
One wallet, many licences
There is no per-wallet limit. Weights, thresholds and every other licence parameter are community-governed — the DAO can change them by vote.
