Although only one NFT will be issued per operator at any one time, multiple NFTs will be issued over time.
Node operators will receive one NFT pre-merge, and another post-merge, and then another every 12 months.
Each type can be combined w/ subsequent types, so node operators can progress over time.
This gives a sense of 'character progression' as people stake longer, and grants bragging rights to those who have been staking the longest.
Ultimately, it not only incentivizes operating a node, but to continue operating it over time.
