# Compute Nodes (coming soon) Compute Nodes are the next step in Vola's vision for a fully decentralized cloud, extending the network beyond storage into a fully independent cloud ecosystem where VSNs store data and Compute Nodes process it. Rather than sending workloads to a centralized cloud provider, applications built on Vola will be able to execute tasks directly across a distributed network of independent compute providers. #### What to Expect Compute Nodes will allow operators to contribute their system's processing power to the network:\ CPU, memory, and compute capacity made available to run application workloads on behalf of network users. Like VSNs, participation will be coordinated and recorded on-chain. Usage, performance, and commitments will be verifiable at the protocol level, and operators will be incentivized through usage-based rewards and staking-aligned incentives. {% hint style="info" icon="dove" %} **Coming Soon.** Compute Node documentation, including hardware requirements, staking details, setup guides, and incentive structures, will be published ahead of the Compute Node launch. Follow Vola's official channels to be notified when Compute Nodes go live. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://wp.vola.network/docs/vola-node-economy/vola-nodes-overview/compute-nodes-coming-soon.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
