1.9 Partial Nodes for Accessible Participation

To promote broad participation and strengthen decentralization across the Cashtap network, Partial Nodes were introduced in collaboration with our development partners. Partial Nodes enable users to own a fractional share of a Founder Node without needing to operate technical infrastructure or maintain a full node independently.

Key Benefits of Partial Nodes

Accessible Entry Partial Nodes significantly lower the barrier to participation, allowing users to join the network and earn mining rewards without large upfront capital requirements.

Multiple Ownership Tiers Users can choose from a set of partial node allocations, enabling flexible entry points based on individual goals, preferences, and financial capacity.

Automatic Mining Rewards (ONLY FOUNDER NODES) Partial Nodes receive a proportional share of the initial $CASH supply mined over 540 days, with rewards distributed automatically every 24 hours through smart contract logic. No manual configuration, maintenance, or additional staking is required during the initial mining phase.

Supports Decentralization By enabling a greater number of smaller participants to join, Partial Nodes help prevent over-concentration of ownership and discourage large “whale” dominance. This aligns with Cashtap’s core principle of maintaining a widely distributed and community-driven network.

Price Appreciation Benefits Early Participation Because node pricing increases algorithmically every time 1,000,000 $CASH is allocated, earlier and smaller participants benefit from lower entry prices, creating a fair growth-aligned distribution model.

Partial Nodes ensure that participation in Cashtap remains inclusive, decentralized, and aligned with sustainable network growth, while empowering more users to share in the long-term value creation of the ecosystem.
