Blockcast CAST Nodes are powerful cache servers that form the backbone of the Blockcast Network, delivering content efficiently to thousands of users.

  • Action: Serve content to a large audience and provide multicast coverage

  • Things you can do with CAST:

    • Serve as high-capacity content caches for large-scale delivery

    • Provide multicast coverage to underserved areas

    • Balance and route network traffic efficiently

    • Earn (lots of) rewards for serving mid-tier CDN traffic for Blockcast Network

  • How do I become a CAST node?

    • CAST Nodes are strategically placed where they're needed most. You may qualify to run a CAST Node if you have:

      • Access to a data center or high-throughput network connection

      • or Coverage area with 1000+ active BEACON and RELAY nodes

      • or Ability to serve multiple RELAY nodes through AMT (Automatic Multicast Tunneling)

    • If you have access to a high throughput data connection (uplink) or sit on a multicast native network, we want to hear from you. Please fill this .
