FAQs

Know Freedom is a decentralized blockchain ecosystem that tracks and rewards service-based actions. It ensures transparency, accountability, and long-term sustainability for volunteers, nonprofits, and mission-driven organizations.

Serve To Be Free is the platform where users engage in volunteer efforts, track impact, and earn points that lead to digital rewards. It integrates with the Know Freedom Blockchain to provide Proof-of-Action tracking and reward contributors.

Unlike traditional blockchains that focus on financial transactions, Know Freedom verifies and rewards real-world service actions. It connects digital assets with human impact, ensuring every act of service is recorded and valued.

SERV Digital Rewards – Earned by completing verified service actions, running nodes, or contributing to the network.

SERV Coins – A convertible asset that can be donated to causes or used in the ecosystem. Users can convert digital rewards into SERV Coins.

You can earn rewards by:

• Completing volunteer activities on the Serve To Be Free platform.
• Running a Community or Impact Node for at least six hours daily.
• Referring new users and organizations to Know Freedom.
• Participating in governance and network activities.

Each year, a set amount of SERV Digital Rewards is released. Node operators can earn up to 40% of the daily distribution by keeping their software active.

Yes. SERV Digital Rewards can be converted into SERV Coins, which can then be donated or used within the ecosystem.

A software node license allows users to support the Know Freedom Blockchain by running a node that processes transactions and tracks service-based actions. Node operators earn rewards for their contributions.

Community Nodes earn base rewards and receive one vote per license in governance.

Impact Nodes earn 5X more rewards, receive five votes per license, and can upgrade to become Validators to earn gas fees.

1. Run the software on your personal or work computer (must be active for at least 6 hours daily).
2. Use a hosted VPS provider (recommended for 24/7 uptime).
3. Monitor your rewards and participation via the Know Freedom dashboard.

If your node is inactive or does not meet the required runtime, you won’t receive full rewards for that day.

As transactions increase on the Serve To Be Free marketplace, gas fees will generate ongoing rewards for node operators. The blockchain’s structure ensures that nodes will continue earning for decades as service-based transactions grow.

Validators play a critical role in securing the Know Freedom Blockchain by verifying and confirming transactions from RPC nodes. They help maintain decentralization and prevent fraudulent activity.

Impact Node owners can upgrade for free to become a Validator. Validators earn a portion of transaction fees (gas fees) from the blockchain.

Gas fees are transaction fees paid by users on the blockchain. While all node operators earn a share of fees, Validators receive the majority of gas fees as compensation for securing the network.

• Staking SERV Coins is required to submit proposals but does not affect voting power.
• Validators can stake SERV Coins to increase their share of gas fees.
• Staking demonstrates commitment to the network and enhances security.

Governance is based on node license ownership:

• Community Nodes = 1 vote per license
• Impact Nodes = 5 votes per license

No. Voting power is based on license ownership, not staking. However, staking SERV Coins is required to make a proposal.

Governance proposals may include protocol upgrades, funding allocations, or new ecosystem initiatives. Proposals must be staked with SERV Coins before being voted on.
