As such, they are entrusted with the crucial task of ensuring the network's operational integrity. In acknowledgment of their indispensable contribution, these providers are entitled to rewards, which are contingent upon the DockHive consensus mechanism. This mechanism, governed by Proof Of Build (POB) and Proof of Container Activeness (PoCA), is underpinned by [Seacure Weave consensus](https://dockhive.medium.com/secureweave-revolutionizing-dockhives-decentralized-docker-infrastructure-9a25cd30fcff). Node providers seeking to participate in this ecosystem are required to undergo a registration process to become onboarded as providers. Interested parties can initiate this process by signing up through the designated portal. Subsequently, a consultation session will be arranged with our dedicated team to facilitate the seamless setup of your node infrastructure. We encourage prospective providers to commence their journey with us by initiating the registration process and availing themselves of the opportunity to contribute to and benefit from the Dockhive network.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.dockhive.io/app-deployment/how-to-setup-dockhive-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.
