   • Budget: Entering a Budget will automatically add nodes to your Cart up to that budget amount starting from the lowest Tranche available for you to purchase up to the maximum available for you to purchase for each Tier.

   • Node Amount: Entering a Node Amount will automatically add that exact number of nodes to your Cart starting from the lowest Tranche available for you to purchase up to the maximum available for you to purchase for each Tier.
