Together, they form MIURO’s dual value system of “hardware + identity”.* ### Hardware as the Physical Carrier of Identity * **VOX** corresponds to the **AI Music Idol identity**, allowing everyday users to enter the ecosystem with a lower barrier and unlock the possibility of being co-supported by fans. * **MINI** corresponds to the **AI Music Studio identity**. It is the preferred choice for most independent creators and node operators, balancing creative capability with node-based revenue. * **ORIGIN** corresponds to the **AI Music Studio Founder identity**. It represents the top-tier node status within the network, providing the highest governance rights and compute asset revenue sharing. * **Cloud Node** corresponds to the **AI Music Member identity**. Although it does not require hardware, users can still gradually improve their identity level and rewards through the L1 → L5 upgrade path. ### Purchasing Hardware = Multiple Layers of Value When users purchase MiuroBox, they receive four layers of value at the same time: * **Utility Value:** Local AI creative tools and high-performance compute hardware * **Identity Value:** Community access, benefits and a sense of belonging based on the corresponding identity level * **Economic Value:** Node mining rewards and referral growth revenue * **Governance Value:** Higher identity levels correspond to higher DAO voting weight and greater network influence ### Two Dimensions of the Upgrade Path * **Horizontal Upgrade: Hardware Upgrade** Through the VOX → MINI → ORIGIN path, users can upgrade their identity level while gaining stronger local creative capabilities and higher network reward weight. * **Vertical Upgrade: Virtual Upgrade** Cloud Node users can continuously invest MU to upgrade from L1 to L5, increasing their identity level and Hash Power without replacing any hardware. This design allows users to quickly improve their identity through hardware upgrades or achieve gradual growth through long-term participation in the Cloud Node system. It supports different participation preferences across different types of users. ### Summary of the Integration MiuroBox is the entry point and physical carrier of the Identity Ladder, while the Identity Ladder extends the benefits and spiritual core of MiuroBox hardware. Together, they reinforce each other, turning hardware from a simple tool into a comprehensive representation of a user’s identity, benefits, and long-term value within the MIURO ecosystem. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.miuro.ai/identity-ladder/integration-with-miurobox.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.
