# Peer-to-peer Network
Neova’s peer-to-peer (P2P) nodes form the backbone of our decentralized infrastructure. Operated by individuals or enterprises, these nodes contribute storage capacity to the network in exchange for $NEOV rewards - powering scalability, accessibility, and resilience.
**Flexible & Scalable**\
Nodes can run on almost any device, from personal computers and enterprise servers to low-cost hardware like Raspberry Pi. This accessibility allows the network to grow organically and rapidly as demand increases.
**Secure & Private by Design**\
All data is encrypted, fragmented, and redundantly stored across multiple nodes. A single node never holds an entire file, and no data can be accessed without the correct decryption key, ensuring privacy and resilience against downtime or attack.
**Easy to Join**\
Anyone can become a storage provider by spinning up a node. Upon setup, it automatically configures itself and registers with the Neova network, making the user eligible to store and secure encrypted data while earning $NEOV.
Neova’s P2P system turns everyday devices into decentralized cloud infrastructure - fueling a network that is secure, distributed, and open to all.
