# How Cryplex Storage Node Works

1. **Easy Setup & Secure Storage**: Install the Cryplex extension on your device to allocate up to 1TB of idle storage for AI training data. All data is encrypted locally using AES-256 and Zero-Knowledge Proofs, ensuring complete security and privacy.
2. **Global Decentralized Network**: Your node continuously contributes to a worldwide, decentralized storage network that powers AI training, processing encrypted data seamlessly across thousands of nodes.
3. **Reward Mechanism**: These points are the key metric for unlocking CPX token rewards during airdrops, all transparently tracked on the blockchain.
4. **Community & Referral Benefits**: Invite friends using your unique referral code to boost your rewards—earning extra points from each new node operator you bring into the network.
