# Node Creation

To create a node, select Create Node. You’ll notice that node creation is almost identical to project creation. For the majority of the set up, you’ll be able to follow the same guidance as provided for creating a new project.

The two differences to project creation are that you cannot select a different network, you must use the same network as the parent project for a node, and an added page of configuration options specific to nodes.

On the Configure Administration step you’ll be presented with these options:

1. **Timelock Period (multisig)**: Typically, multisig projects do not have a timelock period. You can add a delay between a proposal passing and it being executable for your multisig node if desired.
2. **Execution Period (multisig)**: Typically, multisig projects do not have an execution period. You can add an expiration window for proposal on your multisig node if desired.
3. **Freeze Votes Threshold**: The number of total votes required to freeze a node. See the Freezing a Node section below for more detail.
4. **Freeze Proposal Period**: The length of time a freeze vote will be active. See the Freezing a Node section below for more detail.
5. **Freeze Period**: The length of time that a node will remain frozen. See the Freezing a Node section below for more detail.
6. **Enable Clawback**: Whether or not the parent can clawback assets from the node. See the Node Clawback section below for more detail.

# 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.decentdao.org/app/user-guide/project-hierarchy/node-creation.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
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.
