Ping Network NCN Is Now Live on Fragmetric

Ping Network has fully integrated its Node Coordination Network (NCN) with Fragmetric, bringing restaking, validator registration, and programmable reward distribution into a unified system powered by fragSOL.

If you're holding SOL, you can now start earning Ping Points passively — without moving your funds or locking liquidity.
What Is Ping NCN?
The Node Coordination Network (NCN) is the core validator layer behind Ping Network, a decentralized bandwidth protocol that powers:
  • VPN routing
  • AI data scraping infrastructure
  • Content delivery (CDN)
  • Uptime and SLA monitoring
  • Geo-location-based services
NCN tracks node performance, verifies bandwidth sessions, and automates reward payouts.
With this system now live on Fragmetric, infrastructure logic becomes onchain, transparent, and programmable.
Why Fragmetric?
Fragmetric is a modular restaking protocol that lets you reuse your already staked SOL across multiple validator ecosystems — including Ping.

Instead of locking SOL in a single protocol, you mint fragSOL, a liquid token representing your staked assets.

Key Benefits:
  • Keep your original SOL staked
  • Use fragSOL in multiple DePIN and restaking systems
  • Earn extra rewards from their partners, including Ping Network
By integrating with Fragmetric, Ping NCN enables:
  • Transparent reward tracking through smart contracts
  • New yield streams for existing SOL stakers
What Is fragSOL?
fragSOL is a liquid staking derivative (LSD) that represents your delegated SOL in the Fragmetric ecosystem.

Instead of unstaking SOL to participate in new protocols, just hold fragSOL — and earn rewards on top of your existing yield.
Why fragSOL is powerful:
  • It’s fully liquid, you can move, trade, or stake it
  • It unlocks layered staking across multiple protocols
  • You retain full exposure to SOL while earning from new networks
How To Earn Ping Points with fragSOL
Ping now allocates 3% of all Ping Points to users holding fragSOL.
Step-by-step:
  1. Visit Fragmetric
  2. Stake any amount of SOL
  3. Receive fragSOL in your wallet
  4. Rewards begin accruing automatically
Your earnings are proportional to your share of fragSOL in the Ping vault.
Example:
  • If the Ping vault has 10 fragSOL and you hold 1 → You earn 10% of the rewards
  • If there are 100 fragSOL and you hold 1 → You earn 1%
  • No claiming, no lockups, rewards are distributed seamlessly.
Why This Matters
For SOL holders:
  • Earn passive income with no extra work
  • Keep your SOL staked and liquid
  • Gain early access to DePIN-based infrastructure rewards
For Ping supporters:
  • Help decentralize the bandwidth layer
  • Contribute to real-world infrastructure validation
  • Stack points for the upcoming airdrop
