# Season 0

{% hint style="info" %}
Season 0 has ended.<br>

Season 0 marks the beginning of Sentry Node Open Beta, the first step towards Pervasive Connectivity.
{% endhint %}

## POA Rewards

A Sentry Node receives **0.25 Points for every 10 minutes of Network Uptime**.

## POC Rewards

{% hint style="info" %}
Peer-to-Peer connections are established periodically between two random, arbitrary Sentry Nodes to verify their connectivity. These ephemeral connections are called "Taps".  A Tap is successful when a Peer-to-Peer connection is successfully established.
{% endhint %}

A Tap will happen from time to time, and the success rate of Taps depends on a range of network factors such as your NAT type.

Both Sentry Nodes receive **0.75 Points for establishing a successful Tap.**
