Validator Node Rewards
This document explains how Validator Node operators are rewarded for their contributions to the Noderr network.
Validator Node Economics
Running a Validator Node requires staking 25,000 NODR. At the canonical reference price of $0.70/NODR, this stake is worth approximately $17,500. The target annual reward for a Validator Node is $5,500 at full activation. Staked NODR is subject to a unified 21-day unstaking period.
Validator Node rewards are revenue-share, not a fixed APY ladder. They are calculated based on three factors:
- Uptime: The percentage of time your node is online and contributing to the network.
- Revenue Share: Node Operators receive 40% of protocol revenue, and the node-operator pool is distributed toward per-tier target annual rewards (Oracle ~$16,500 / Guardian ~$9,000 / Validator ~$5,500 / Micro ~$463). This revenue is driven by vault AUM and trading performance, not transaction-validation fees.
- TrustFingerprint Score: TrustFingerprint scores range from 0 to 1 (displayed on a 0–10,000 scale). Validator Nodes require an entry threshold of 0.60; a higher score improves an operator's standing and reward eligibility within the revenue-share pool.
Rewards are distributed in NODR. Actual distribution amounts and cadence are governed by the on-chain Base-Rate Governor, which paces payouts against trailing net revenue rather than guaranteeing a fixed schedule.
