# NODE Economy

The NODE Economy has been designed to encourage and reward community participation in the DAppNode ecosystem. With support from our community, we can ensure that DAppNode continues to be a hub for the decentralized universe.

### NODE Basics

Token Address on Mainnet: 0xdadA02029134F73aF874640eF351A8Cf85DdADA0
Token Address on xDai: 0x13AB0Ad0b5244A4d8503147648cDFF2C68DDe2e6

NODE has a total initial supply of 100,000,000 tokens. These tokens have been distributed in accordance with the following chart:


### NODEdrop
NODE has been airdropped in a NODEdrop to our community of faithful supporters. Recipients of the NODEdrop include:
- DAppNode Team Members
- DAppNode Founders
- Purchasers of DAppNode hardware
- Code Contributors
- Active community members, ranked by our sourcecred algorithm
- Donors to DAppNode in Gitcoin Grants Rounds (with donations above $0.15)
- Eth2 stakers who have self-identified as DAppNode runners by including the word "DAppNode" in their graffiti

Check your NODEdrop [here](http://app.dappnode.io/nodedrop).

### NODEstream
90% of the entire initial supply of NODE has been allocated to the "NODEstream" which is set to flow for a period of 3 years (36 months - i.e. until July 2024). This is essentially a continous stream of NODE that flows out of the "Reservoir" and becomes claimable and transferrable. NODEstream distribution can be roughly tracked as follows:
| Month | Claimable | Held in Reservoir |
| ----- | --------- | ----------------- |
| 0 | 10% | 90% |
| 9 | 32.5% | 67.5% |
| 18 | 55% | 45% |
| 27 | 77.5% | 22.5% |
| 36 | 100% | 0% |

The NODEstream works on a time-based linear function, meaning the reservoir will gradually hold a smaller percentage of NODE and thus more NODE is made instantly available from your staking rewards. At the end of the NODEstream The reservoir will no longer hold any NODE and 100% of your staking rewards will be instantly claimable.


The NODEstream has been designed to encourage long-term participation in the NODE Economy. As the NODE Economy grows and the DAppNode universe expands, our community is awarded even more NODE to use in DAO governance.

Recipients of the NODEdrop on xDai Network are granted the NODEstream, whereas on Mainnet the NODEdrop does not include the NODEstream automatically. In order to receive and augment the flow of NODE you must provide liquidity in any of the eligible pools. Some part of the rewards earned from NODEstaking are claimable immediately, where as the other part is allocated to the reservoir for NODEstreaming.

>[name=mitch] This is the graph I was trying to make, I think if we can get the algorithm and show the disbursal like this it will help visualize the NODEstream ... and the GIVstream

| Month | Claimable | Held in Reservoir |
| ----- | --------- | ----------------- |
| 0 | 10% | 90% |
| 9 | 32.5% | 67.5% |
| 18 | 55% | 45% |
| 27 | 77.5% | 22.5% |
| 36 | 100% | 0% |

do you want to put this in?
I have the docs loaded up locally
I think it's cool. just let's check with lanski to make sure the unlock is linear, like I assumed. I'll dm him

I think this will help us alot with explaning GIV

totally... just I think there is still some debate around whether or not we want to explain the "resevoir" at all. or we just only tell people "you get a stream!"
my idea was to have a flow rate and time remaining... effectivley communicating the same thing but more euphemistically

wowwww maths hahahah, it took me a minute, I'm rusty
Month Claimable Held in Resevoir
0 10% 90%
9 33% 68%
18 55% 45%
27 78% 23%
36 100% 0%
