# Node Reward Rules v0.1

Titan Network values the contributions of early participants. To ensure each node operator receives fair returns, we have designed a comprehensive TNT4 incentive mechanism. This section details the specific rules and implementation of node incentives.

### Daily Reward Calculation Guide

Titan's reward model is based on actual paid usage by business clients: the more resources clients use and pay for, the higher the rewards for resource providers.

$$
Daily Reward = Resource Contribution Value (RCV) × Pioneer Incentive Multiplier
$$

***Resource Contribution Value (RCV)*** is a quantitative indicator measuring nodes' contribution of computing, bandwidth, storage, and other resources when actually used by paying business clients. The system evaluates multiple dimensions:

* Provided bandwidth resources
* Provided storage resources
* Provided computing resources
* Actual resource usage
* Node online stability
* Service quality performance

The **Pioneer Incentive Multiplier** is an incentive mechanism for early participants: offering up to 3x rewards when network resources are scarce to promote node growth, and reducing the multiplier when resources exceed target values to slow growth. This mechanism maintains dynamic resource supply balance through multiplier adjustments.

**Calculation formula:**

$$
f(RCV) = \begin{cases} 3 & \text{if } RCV \leq 0 \ \frac{8.4 \times 10^7}{g(RCV)} & \text{if } RCV \geq \frac{2 \times 10^{6}}{7 } \ \frac{2.1\*10^8-(\frac{RCV \times 7 }{2 \times 10^{6}})^{0.9}\times 1.26 \times 10^8}{g(RCV)} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}
$$

$$
g(RCV) = \begin{cases}
7 \times 10^7 + 735RCV \times 0.945^{\frac{7RCV}{2 \times 10^{5}}} & \text{if } RCV \leq \frac{10^6}{7} \\
7 \times 10^7 + 1.05 \times 10^8 \times 0.945^5 + 18000(\frac{7RCV}{2 \times 10^2} - 5000) \times 0.945^{\frac{7RCV}{2 \times 10^{5}}} & \text{if } RCV > \frac{10^6}{7}
\end{cases}
$$

### Daily Reward Calculation Process&#x20;

The system calculates the previous day's total network resource contribution at 10:00 (UTC) daily, matches the corresponding Pioneer incentive multiplier tier based on this value, and multiplies it by the node's actual contribution value to determine final rewards.

### Reward Calculation Example&#x20;

If on a given day the network's total contribution reaches target range A, with a Pioneer incentive multiplier of 2.5 and node resource contribution value of 100 points, then:&#x20;

$$
Daily Reward = 100 RCV × 2.5 = 250 TNT4
$$

Of which 60% (150 TNT4) is immediately available, and 40% (100 TNT4) enters lock-up.

### Reward Distribution Rules:&#x20;

* 60% Immediately Available: Users can withdraw 60% of daily rewards directly to their personal Titan wallet&#x20;
* 40% Lock-up Portion: Considering network security and node service quality importance, the remaining 40% of rewards will be locked. These will be exchanged and unlocked according to established rules after mainnet launch. Specific unlocking mechanisms will be announced later.

### Reward Data Update Rules:&#x20;

The system updates the previous day's reward data at UTC 08:00. Daily rewards are calculated independently and do not accumulate to the next day. The Pioneer incentive multiplier is determined by the total network contribution value. Note that during the testnet phase, target value ranges will remain stable, but these parameters may be dynamically adjusted after mainnet launch. Any adjustments will be announced to the community in advance.
