# Frequently Asked Questions DAPP Service Providers (DSPs) ## Frequently Asked Questions DAPP Service Providers (DSPs) * What is a DSP? * Who can be a DSP? * Are DSPs required to run a full node? * How are DSPs incentivized? ### What is a DSP? DSPs are individuals or entities who provide external storage capacity, communication services, and/or utilities to dApp developers building on the blockchain, playing a crucial role in the DAPP network. ### Who can be a DSP? DSPs can be BPs, private individuals, corporations, or even anonymous entities. The only requirement is that each DSP must meet the minimum specifications for operating a full node on EOS. ### Are DSPs required to run a full node? While DSPs could use a third-party node, this would add latency to many services, including vRAM. In some cases, this latency could be significant. LiquidApps does not recommend running a DSP without a full node. ### How are DSPs incentivized? DSPs receive 1-5% of token inflation proportional to the total amount of DAPP tokens staked to their service packages. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
