2.1 Master Node Staking
Master Node Operation and Reward Structure
Purchasing a Master Node provides the operator with the ability to participate in the staking-based reward system, but does not include any preallocated $CASH. Unlike Founder Nodes, Master Nodes require the operator to add and stake their own $CASH in order to generate rewards.
To activate and earn rewards from a Master Node, the following criteria must be met:
Node License Activation (paid in USDC)
Minimum $CASH Staking Requirement
Node Technical Requirements (basic uptime + connectivity)
Once these requirements are fulfilled, the node becomes active and begins participating in the reward distribution cycle.
Staking and Adjusting Participation
Adding $CASH: Master Node owners may add additional $CASH to the node’s staking pool at any time. Increasing the stake amount raises:
The node’s reward weight
Its share of daily network rewards
Its governance influence (where applicable)
Unstaking / Cancelling Participation: If a node operator decides to stop running the Master Node, they may withdraw their staked tokens. Unstaking will stop all reward generation for that node.
Reward Distribution Model
Rewards generated in the Master Node layer are split as follows:
Node Operator (Staker)
70%
Direct reward for securing and supporting the network
Network Reserve
30%
Sustainability, stabilization, or burn pool (governed by node vote)
The 30% reserve is held in a governance pool, where Master Node operators vote to decide whether the tokens should be:
Burned (deflationary supply pressure)
Reinvested into ecosystem development
Used for liquidity provisioning
Allocated to community incentives
This introduces a transparent, community-driven monetary policy.
Daily Reward Calculation
Daily rewards are calculated based on:
The amount of $CASH staked in the node
The total amount staked across the network (network-wide weight)
The current market price of $CASH at the time rewards are distributed
Rewards are paid in $CASH, ensuring the reward mechanism remains:
Self-sustaining
Decentralized
Value-aligned with network growth
