# Game Key (NFT)

### Key Features of the Game Key:

* The Game Key is a sould-bound NFT token intrinsically linked to its owner, ensuring secure and personalized access to node validation capabilities.
* Acquiring a Game Key equates to obtaining a license that grants permission to participate in the Gamestarter network's validation activities.
* Purchasing a Game Key does not involve the purchase of any tangible hardware.
