# Passive Yield

### Introduction

vVv launch nodes represent a revolutionary approach to platform participation and reward distribution. Unlike traditional token launches that retain project fees, we redistribute these benefits back to our node operators.

### Innovative Token Distribution

Our node system introduces a dynamic token emission model that responds to real platform demand. Rather than following rigid vesting schedules, tokens are partially emitted based on platform activity, creating a natural balance between supply and demand.

### Yield Streams

Node operators earn through three distinct channels:

#### 1. Activity Yield

Each node has a specific "hashpower" capacity. This is an arbitrary term, but the value assigned to each tier is used in our weighted random selection process. When investment transactions occur, nodes are randomly selected to receive rewards based on this value. The reward size correlates with the transaction value, and higher hash-power nodes enjoy increased selection probability.

For example: In a network of 5 nodes with 50 hash-power each, every node has a 20% chance of selection. Higher hash-power directly increases selection frequency.
{% endhint %}

#### 2. Linear Yield

Upon node activation, tokens begin unlocking on a 24-month linear vesting schedule, providing consistent returns to operators.

#### 3. Launch Pool Yield

We convert platform fees into project token allocations, which are then distributed to node operators. This approach:

* Partly eliminates USD-denominated fees for projects
* Provides node operators with passive exposure to these projects

### Launch Pool Points System

Project token distributions are managed through a points-based system:

* Points = Staked $V × Node Tier Multiplier
* Distributions are proportional to point totals
* Point snapshots are taken before each new launch

Example: A Platinum node staking 1,000 $V with a 4.5x multiplier earns 4,500 points.

### Node Tiers

#### Silver Node

* Hashpower: 50
* Staking Capacity: 4,000 $V
* Launch Pool Yield Multiplier: 1x
* Max Points: 4,000
* Tradeable: Yes

#### Gold Node

* Hashpower: 200
* Staking Capacity: 4,000 $V
* Launch Pool Yield Multiplier: 2.25x
* Max Points: 9,000
* Tradeable: Yes

#### Platinum Node

* Hashpower: 500
* Staking Capacity: 4,000 $V
* Launch Pool Yield Multiplier: 4.50x
* Max Points: 18,000
* Tradeable: Yes

### Frequently Asked Questions

#### How is yield sustainability maintained?

Projects provide token allocations as platform fees - a standard industry practice. Unlike other platforms that retain these fees, we redistribute them to node operators, providing broad exposure to every project in our ecosystem.

#### What are the activation requirements?

Simply stake the required amount of $V tokens. No specialized hardware needed - rewards begin immediately upon activation.

#### How does token distribution work?

Distribution combines two mechanisms:

* 60% through 24-month linear vesting (no cliff)
* 40% based on platform activity, accelerating with increased demand

*Note: Node availability and final token requirements are TBA. Stay connected through our community channels for updates.*
