XNET Token
XNET Tokenomics and Allocation
Token Rewards
The detailed explanation of the tokenomics model behind the $XNET token can be found in the XNET whitepaper.
There are 4 ways that tokens can be earned by these operators:
- Launch (program retired)
- Coverage
- Validation
- Data throughput
When a consumer or professional purchases one or more nodes from XNET, they indicate in which location they will bring the node into operation. For consumers, this is validated at first on our website against our allowed locations (as above). Once you have successfully deployed your node, some tokens are released to the operator based on their type of node (see below). This is a one-time grant of tokens, with a lockup period of one year.
This will be a regular disbursement of tokens to an operator in reward for them having an operational node on the network. These tokens will be proportionate to the type of node and its coverage capabilities.
This will be a regular release of tokens to an operator in reward for them participating in a validation exercise. It is certain that we will reward the maximum such tokens to our node operators early on in the network, as long as they have an operational node.
Eventually, this will be the heart of how both operators and XNET earn rewards. Based on measured data throughput (in GB) through the node, XNET will grant a number of tokens in proportion to that throughput. Data throughput is expected within the first 12 months of inital network deployment.
