# Activate Your Node
After completing the ARBYDEX registration process, eligible new users can receive a **Free Introduction Node**.
The Introduction Node is designed as an initial participation node and provides users with a starting point within the ARBYDEX ecosystem.
### Free Introduction Node
The Introduction Node is displayed under the **Exclusive Nodes** section of the platform.
The Introduction Node is provided at no initial node investment, but its associated activity and qualification requirements must be completed before the applicable benefits can be unlocked.
#### Introduction Node Requirements
To unlock the Introduction Node, the platform displays the following requirements:
{% code expandable="true" %}
```
Direct Sales
$0 / $60
Active Referrals
0 / 3
```
{% endcode %}
Users need to reach the applicable qualification requirements shown by the platform.
#### Qualification
The current Introduction Node qualification consists of:
**$60 Direct Sales**
and
**3 Active Referrals**
The qualification progress can be monitored directly from the **Manage Subs** section.

## Activating an ARB Node
The **Introduction Node** should not be confused with the paid ARB Node packages available through the **Activate Arb Node** section.
After accessing the node activation interface, users can choose from the available ARB Node packages.
#### Available Packages
These packages are separate from the **Free Introduction Node**.

## 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.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://arbydex.gitbook.io/arbydex/getting-started/activate-your-node.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
