# Welcome

Welcome to Encore Nodes. We're glad to have you aboard. This document repository sets out our purpose, protocol details and road map. 

Encore Nodes is divided into two separate projects on the Avalanche network:

* CORE ($CORE) - Innovative reflection token; and
* ENCORE NODES ($ENC) - Nodes-as-a-service.

This documentation will relate only to the ENCORE NODES protocol. Information relating to CORE is set out in a separate gitbook repository to avoid confusion. These can be found below:
