View source for For those who want to become a Node Provider

Hello! We're glad that you're interested in becoming a node provider!

Here is where you should start:

* Go through everything on this wiki and make sure you understand everything there.
* [[Node Provider Documentation|This page]] usually lists the current status of the target topology and whether the IC has room for more nodes.
** You can still register to become a NP first, as preparation for when the topology has openings.
* Get involved in the [https://forum.dfinity.org/ forums] where discussions regarding upcoming changes, concerns, questions, etc take place.
** You can post [https://forum.dfinity.org/t/np-marketplace-buying-nodes/50929 here] if you're an available buyer. Note that you must be registered and approved as a NP first.
** You can also see if any current NPs have posted nodes for sale [https://forum.dfinity.org/t/np-marketplace-selling-nodes/50925 here].
* You can also join the [[Node Provider Matrix channel|NP Element channel]].
