# Becoming a Super Node: Conditions and Process

1. **$TITAN Staking Requirements**
   * To become a super node, participants need to hold and stake a certain amount of $TITAN tokens. The specific staking amount is periodically adjusted based on platform strategy and market conditions to ensure node quality and responsibility.
2. **Node Registration and Verification**
   * Holders must apply to become a node through official LayerX Protocol channels and undergo a series of verification processes, including identity verification and technical capability assessment.
3. **Staking and Locking**
   * Once verified, participants need to stake the corresponding amount of $TITAN in a specific smart contract. The staked tokens will be locked for a certain period to ensure the continuity and stability of node operations.
