# 4. HIB: The Node of Halo

The Halo Influencer Badge (HIB) is a critical component of the Halo ecosystem, serving as the foundation for future mining nodes.

* Performance: With over 70 HIBs issued, these badges have seen an average price increase of 8,000% within the first 24 hours of launch.
* Future Nodes: Only HIB issuers will qualify to run Halo nodes, solidifying their role as key contributors to the ecosystem.

To strengthen this foundation, Halo is actively inviting:

* Influencers to create content
* Artists to develop assets like stickers
* Developers to build monetization tools
* Agencies to contribute to AI training data
