R0AR, a new DeFi super-app built on Optimism’s OP Stack, has announced a successful start of its Node Sale, selling out Tier 1 licenses within the first 24 hours and achieving over $1 million in sales in early rounds. The structured sale features a tiered NFT model that provides rewards for early participants, with lower entry prices and more valuable NFTs in the earlier tiers. These NFTs offer not only validator rewards in ETH and 1R0R but also special access within the R0AR ecosystem.

The demand for the 1R0R utility token has risen, with its price reaching a new high of $0.0356. Although nodes can be bought with ETH, USDC, or USDT, purchasing with 1R0R tokens provides extra benefits and supports the token’s economy. 1R0R is available on decentralized exchanges and major exchanges like BitMart and MEXC.

Simultaneously, R0AR launched R0AR Wallet 2.0, emphasizing user privacy and self-sovereignty, free from hidden fees or tracking. The upgraded wallet is now available for download on iOS and Android, featuring better usability and security.

R0AR aims to democratize Layer 2 infrastructure by allowing anyone to buy and operate validator nodes, giving ownership back to the community. This approach combines Ethereum’s security with accessible community participation. The co-founder, Dustin Hedrick, highlights the movement’s potential, stating that they are not just selling nodes but distributing ownership of the financial internet’s infrastructure. R0AR integrates self-custody, AI trading, staking, NFTs, and real-world asset support, creating a unified platform governed by the community.
