# Application for participation in PoA mainnet

In order to participate in the **PoA mainnet**, you need to provide information about yourself according to the [form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1v2xEqHwBdjdmXgKrN7M-kwRC5dMJpHfBFSgV3L4eCrQ/viewform?edit_requested=true).

Participants who meet the following criteria will be allowed into the **PoA mainnet**:

1. **The validator successfully passed the PoA testnet phase.** Successful completion of the PoA test phase will be determined by the EYWA technical team according to the following criteria: rating in EYWA explorer, validator rank on the results of the quests, data provided by the project and engagement. 
2. **The validator meets requirements for nodes in the PoA mainnet.** Technical requirements for the **PoA mainnet** participants can be found in [**Requirements for PoA mainnet validators**](/eywa-oracle-network-will-be-ended-in-april-2024/incentivised-poa-mainnet/requirements-for-poa-mainnet-validators.md) section.

After passing the screening and receiving confirmation, tokens (**EYWA-PoA** ) will be sent to the address you specified, which can be used to register a node in governance smart contracts.

## 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://docs.eywa.fi/eywa-oracle-network-will-be-ended-in-april-2024/incentivised-poa-mainnet/application-for-participation-in-poa-mainnet.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
