Rewards

This page describes how rewards flow through the Noderr protocol: where revenue comes from, how it is split, what node operators and vault depositors earn, and how staking $NODR increases a participant's share. All figures reference a canonical NODR price of $0.70/NODR.

Overview

Noderr rewards are revenue-share based, not fixed APY ladders. Protocol revenue is distributed across node operators, the treasury, buybacks, and development. Vault depositors earn a blended yield from underlying strategies, and participants who stake $NODR and run a node can stack node rewards on top of vault yield toward a combined target return.

Revenue Distribution

Protocol revenue is split four ways:

The 40% node-operator pool is further split across the node tiers in a 30/30/30/10 ratio (Oracle / Guardian / Validator / Micro).

Node Rewards

Node rewards are paid from the node-operator pool as a share of protocol revenue (revenue-share, not fixed per-tier APY ladders), but carry the following forward per-tier APY targets — design targets, not guarantees, and unfunded on testnet:

Higher tiers carry additional requirements beyond stake: a Guardian seat requires governance approval plus a Utility NFT, and an Oracle seat requires election plus a Utility NFT. The on-chain Utility NFT is free / protocol-minted.

A portion of the Community allocation is earmarked for node-operator rewards (3,750,000 NODR), funding the reward pool during the protocol's early phases.

Vault Yield

Vault depositors target a blended yield of approximately ~4% (a design target - fork-verified achievable across live Base-mainnet venues, but not yet earned on testnet: no venue is bound on-chain and totalDeployed() is 0), composed of:

• Floor strategy: ~78.8% of capital targeting ~3.75–4%
• Active / ATE strategy: ~21.2% of capital (higher-variance alpha target)

To reach the upper end of the combined 8–28% range, a participant deposits into a vault for the ~4% blended target and additionally stakes $NODR and runs a node to stack node rewards on top. The 28% figure is a combined vault + node target and is never vault-only; node rewards are a revenue-share (a share of protocol revenue - see Reward Distribution), not a fixed APY.

Underlying integrations may advertise their own external-protocol APYs (for example, in the 20–35% range). Those are external-protocol potential, not Noderr vault yield.

Vault Fee Structure

Vault fees are defined on-chain per vault. Every vault charges a zero management fee; the protocol earns only a performance fee, and only on realized gains above each vault's soft hurdle rate and its prior high-water mark (HWM). Performance fees are charged strictly from the vault's trading bucket — never from the principal-protected floor — so fees are never taken from protected capital. Fees scale with the risk tier of each vault:

The performance fee applies only to new profit above the vault's previous peak NAV-per-share, and only after returns clear the vault-specific soft hurdle, so depositors keep all returns up to the hurdle.

Staking and Unstaking

Unstaking uses a unified 21-day cooldown. Treasury-provided stakes carry a 24-month lockup.

The total supply of 100,000,000 NODR is fixed, with every token minted at genesis and no operational emission; rewards are funded from protocol revenue and the Community allocation, not from new issuance.

Voting Power

Governance voting power is tier-based (not time-weighted), which influences a participant's weight in reward-relevant governance decisions:

Standard proposals require a 70% TrustFingerprint threshold to propose, a 10% quorum, and 60% standard approval. Treasury, capital-deployment, and strategy decisions require a 66% Oracle supermajority.
