We're restructuring the reward mechanics. The protocol works: 168 hours of uninterrupted distribution proved that.
But running fast and running forever are two different things. We're optimizing for forever.
The core stays the same: burn to mint, hourly rewards, deflationary by design. What's changing is how the numbers are tuned so this protocol is still running and rewarding node runners a year from now. Not just this month.
Details coming soon. Follow @SolanodesFi, we'll break down the changes before it goes live.
This is what building in public actually looks like.
One week. 168 hours. Not one missed reward cycle.
No "scheduled maintenance." No emergency patches. No paused contracts. Just a smart contract running exactly as deployed, every single hour since launch.
Every dot on the graphic is 24 hours of uninterrupted distribution.
Week two starts now. The flywheel doesn't take Mondays off. $NODE
3.6M $NODE bought off market across two transactions. Deposited straight into the reward pool.
The flywheel doesn't take days off.
31.1M pool · 61.8M burned · 172 nodes · 300/hr
Hope the runners are having a great Saturday!
Real question for y'all: what's your strategy?
Watching the different approaches emerge in real time is one of the best parts of being live. No "right" answer. Every path feeds the protocol differently.
Drop yours below. $NODE
Launch week is done. Protocol is running. Nodes are earning. Supply is lower than it was 72 hours ago.
This week: more node runners, more burns, more reward cycles compounding. Just a protocol getting better every hour.
The math doesn't take weekends off. Neither do your nodes. $NODE
Buyback complete. 3.97M $NODE bought off PumpSwap, deposited straight into the reward pool.
52.4M in the pool. 156 nodes earning from it every hour.
50.7M burned. 11.12M already distributed to node runners. The supply only moves one direction.
