- Smart Node Boost is a “boost NFT” — a one-time digital license that you can apply to a single Galvan Smart Node to temporarily amplify rewards.
- When applied, the boost doubles the “action points” (i.e. reward yield) from that one Smart Node — effectively meaning you earn 2× the rewards for six months.
How it works: mechanics, activation & limitations
- After purchase, the Boost NFT is sent to your Galvan wallet.
- To receive the 2× boost, you must activate the NFT. Once activated:
- The 6-month period begins. The boost cannot be paused or restarted, even if the node is offline during part of the period.
- The NFT becomes non-transferable: once applied to your Smart Node, you cannot move it to another wallet or account.
- The boost is only applicable to full Smart Nodes — not to smaller or “Lite Node” options.
- You can purchase multiple Boost NFTs — but note: only one boost applies per Smart Node at a time. If you own multiple Smart Nodes, you could potentially boost each separately.
Who this might be for
Given what I know about you (you like tracking, you’re comfortable with spreadsheets and structured rewards/tracking), this might make sense if:
- You already own (or plan to own) a Smart Node and are committed to running it consistently. The boost amplifies the reward yield, which increases potential upside.
- You accept that this is a “locked-in, time-limited experiment”: 6 months of doubled output, after which rewards return to baseline. A boost makes sense only if you believe the node will perform reliably during that period.
- You view the output (probably IZE tokens or network-specific rewards) as useful — either within Galvan’s ecosystem (services, wellness, products) or as a speculative asset, accepting associated risk and uncertainty.
Risks and what remains unclear / worth doubting
- The boost is time-limited and non-transferable after activation. If your node goes offline, or the ecosystem under delivers, you still lose the benefit.
- As with all crypto- and blockchain-based reward systems: the ultimate “value” of the rewards depends heavily on the demand, utility, and stability of the token/economy. There’s no guarantee of long-term value or liquidity outside of Galvan’s ecosystem. The platform itself notes that IZE rewards are intended as utility, not as an investment.
- Smart-contract & platform risk: since this depends on NFT-to-node linking, blockchain execution, and node-software uptime, there’s technical and systemic risk (bugs, downtime, protocol changes, user error).
- Opportunity cost: the boost presumably has a cost (the NFT purchase), so you need to consider whether the 2× yield over 6 months justifies that cost — especially compared to keeping crypto capital liquid or using other reward/membership systems.

Galvan Nodes and the IZE Blockchain are governed by a Distributed Governance Framework, which is distinct from and not solely controlled by Galvan DAO LLC. Any value derived from Galvan Nodes and IZE Digital Rewards is likely to be uncorrelated with the success or failure of Galvan.
Galvan does not sell tokens. The IZE Blockchain, which is governed by Galvan Node Owners, self-governs the distribution of tokens. Tokens are earned in exchange for work and action on the IZE Blockchain. The token is designed to have utility on the Galvan platform for the purchase of Galvan’s products and services. The token is not an investment product and may never have any value outside of the Galvan platform. Galvan Node Owners should not expect to recognize any value from the token other than its utility with Galvan. Galvan does not anticipate correlation between the token value and Galvan’s business activities.
