A node provider (NP) is a non-canister principal that receives the rewards stemming from node participation to the IC (aka “payout principal”). Usually, though not necessarily, a node provider is the owner of the node, and may also be involved in node operation and related tasks. A node provider may receive rewards from multiple nodes in multiple data centers.
