# Session Nodes Session Nodes are incentivized full nodes which secures and enables the functionality of the Session Network. Nodes are responsible for validating transactions and data (such as messages) for the Session Network. A full Session Node requires a stake of 25,000 Session Tokens and a minimum level of computational resources (bandwidth, storage, and processing time) to meet its validation responsibilities. This validation provides security and function to the Session Network. In return, Session Nodes receive Session Token rewards from the Staking Reward Pool. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
