Node Tier Hierarchy
Overview
The Noderr Protocol operates on a four-tier node network, where each tier serves specific functions and earns rewards based on performance and responsibility level. This hierarchical structure ensures network efficiency, security, and scalability.
Node Tiers Summary
| Tier | Node Type | NODR Stake Required | Rewards (APY) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Micro Node | 0 NODR | 5-10% |
| 2 | Validator Node | 50,000 NODR | 10-15% |
| 3 | Guardian Node | 100,000 NODR | 15-20% |
| 4 | Oracle Node | 500,000 NODR | 20-25% |

Tier Progression
Node operators can progress through tiers by:
- Building TrustFingerprint™ Score: Consistent performance improves reputation
- Upgrading Hardware: Meeting higher tier requirements
- Increasing Stake: Demonstrating commitment to the network
- Applying/Competing: Guardian and Oracle tiers require application or election
Reward Scaling
Rewards scale based on:
- Tier Level: Higher tiers earn higher base rewards
- TrustFingerprint™ Score: Performance multiplier (0.5x - 2.0x)
- Uptime: Consistent operation increases rewards
- Task Completion: Successful task execution earns bonuses
Getting Started
To become a node operator:
- Review Requirements for your target tier
