Masternodes and Proof of Stake (POS) protocols are believed to hold the future of cryptocurrencies. Not only are Masternode projects cost-efficient as they don’t require any mining setup or other costly resources to run, but are also rewarding as they provide passive income to the masternode owners in the form of block rewards.
Apollon’s technology allows it to run multiple nodes on a single VPS (virtual Private Server). RYON provides this technology to its customers to let them stack nodes on their own rented VPS’s. NodeBuilder platform customers will be able to deploy nodes to their VPS’s in a similar manner to how they are deployed to Apollon hosted VPS’s.
NodeGuard automated masternode updates, VPS-local masternode monitoring and Zendesk support will be included in monthly service fee. RYON puts all the control in the hands of the customer.
