Horizon Validator Rewards and Incentives

Horizon offers a comprehensive reward structure for node operators, designed to incentivize network participation and ensure long-term sustainability.

Reward Structure

  1. Token Allocation

    • A total of 180,000,000 $VEMP tokens have been allocated for distribution to node operators.
    • This allocation will be distributed over a three-year incentivized period.

  2. Transaction Fee Share

    • Node operators additionally receive a share of all transaction fees on the network.
    • The exact percentage will be announced at a later date.

  3. Reward Calculation Rewards are distributed based on several factors:

    • The number of Node License Keys associated with each operator
    • The operator's participation in network operations
    • The total number of active Node License Keys across the network

The more Node License Keys you have associated with your active node, the greater your share of the overall rewards.

Reward Distribution

  • Rewards are distributed regularly, with the exact schedule to be announced closer to launch.
  • You can expect distributions to occur on a monthly basis.

Example Reward Calculation

While exact figures will depend on network activity and the total number of active nodes, here's a hypothetical example:

Suppose in a month:

  • The network processes 30 million transactions
  • The average fee per transaction is 0.4 $VEMP
  • Total transaction fees for the month: 12 million $VEMP
  • 25% of fees (3 million $VEMP) are distributed as rewards
  • Monthly reward pool from token allocation: 5 million $VEMP
  • Total monthly rewards: 8 million $VEMP

If you operate a node with 50 Node License Keys, and there are 10,000 total active Node License Keys:

  • Your share: 50 / 10,000 = 0.5%
  • Your estimated monthly reward: 0.5% of 8 million $VEMP = 40,000 $VEMP

This is a simplified example. Actual rewards will vary based on network activity, your node's performance, and the total number of active nodes.

Claiming Rewards

  • Rewards are automatically calculated based on your node's performance and the number of Node License Keys held.
  • You'll be able to claim your rewards through a dedicated interface (details to be provided closer to launch).
