# Vola Compute Nodes

Vola Compute Nodes extend the decentralized infrastructure model beyond storage by enabling distributed computation across the network. Rather than contributing only disk capacity, compute node operators make their system resources available to serve application workloads executed on behalf of network users.

Compute participation will be coordinated and recorded on-chain, with usage, performance, and commitments verifiable at the protocol level. As the compute layer matures, operators will be incentivized through usage-based rewards and staking-aligned incentives similar to other infrastructure components.

#### Additional details regarding compute and incentive mechanisms will be released in future.

# 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/vola-node-economy/vola-compute-nodes.md?ask=<question>
```

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.
