Our team is constantly optimizing our methods to identify behaviors that may be harmful to our ecosystem and users. Please be advised that the team reserves the right to **retrospectively slash points** earned through Sybil or fraudulent activities.

These guidelines will be updated periodically, so please check this page regularly for the latest version.

### 3. Rules on multiple Sentry Nodes.

Users can have multiple Sentry Nodes, as long as other rules are met. However, rewards will be split between Sentry Nodes having the same IP address.

### 4. Certain IP types are not supported by the network.&#x20;

Sentry Nodes with an “Unsupported” status will stop receiving rewards. Rewards will resume accumulating once the status changes to “Good”.
