# For Node Validators

Node validators are granted privileged access:&#x20;

* **Daily DDAI Rewards** (based on request volume)
* **$SOL Cashback** (bonus yield % by node count)
* **Airdrop Allocation for Node Validators**

DDAI Network offers exclusive airdrop opportunities to **active node validators** and **long-term contributors** as part of its reward mechanism. Validators will receive designated allocations of $DDAI in upcoming airdrop events, recognizing their essential role in maintaining and scaling the network.

Furthermore, as the network evolves and **AI Assistant models are trained using validator-contributed data**, participants will also be eligible for **airdrops of newly issued tokens** associated with these AI-powered applications. This creates additional earning potential outside the core $DDAI ecosystem.

These airdrop initiatives provide validators with **early access to emerging AI ecosystems**, incentivizing ongoing contribution and strengthening the overall value of participation in the DDAI Network.&#x20;

* **Scalable Reward Structure: Node Validation and Corresponding Benefits**

The magnitude of rewards received by a node validator is directly proportional to the quantity of nodes operated. Augmentation of node validation activities results in increased remuneration, encompassing both DDAI tokens and $SOL cashback.&#x20;

For instance, validating a greater number of nodes amplifies daily earnings and qualifies validators for enhanced bonus rewards, thereby enabling the maximization of earning potential.

Active node validators and long-term contributors will receive a designated allocation of requests that can be converted to $DDAI in forthcoming airdrop events, serving as a reward mechanism.

| Nodes Operated | Request Allocation  | Daily Earning Bonus Yield |
| -------------- | ------------------- | ------------------------- |
| 1  Nodes       | 50,000 Requests     | + 3%                      |
| 3 Nodes        | 1,000,000 Requests  | + 5%                      |
| 5 Nodes        | 2,000,000 Requests  | + 8%                      |
| 10 Nodes       | 5,000,000 Requests  | + 15%                     |
| 30 - 50 Nodes  | 10,000,000 Requests | + 30%                     |
| >100 Nodes     | 25,000,000 Requests | + 50%                     |

**Boost your Requests generation speed based on the number of Nodes you hold:**

| **Number of Nodes** | **Requests Generation Speed Boost** |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| 1 → 5 Nodes         | +1.5x                               |
| 6 → 10 Nodes        | +2.5x                               |
| 11+ Nodes           | +4x                                 |
| 50+ Nodes           | +15x                                |

**Node Economics**

The DDAI Node model is designed with long-term sustainability in mind—not as a high-yield gimmick, but as a foundational piece of decentralized AI infrastructure.

#### 6-Month Lifecycle with Shift to $DDAI Rewards

Each node has a 6-month operating cycle. During this time, node operators are rewarded in SOL until they reach their break-even point. Once the break-even threshold is achieved and the $DDAI token is officially listed, future rewards will transition to being paid out in **$DDAI**—the core utility currency within the ecosystem. The exact conversion rate between SOL rewards and **$DDAI** will be announced prior to this shift.

#### Built for Long-Term Utility

* Node rewards are backed by real compute demand—not reliant on new buyers.
* Incentives align with ecosystem usage, not speculative inflows.
* The model scales sustainably as DDAI infrastructure expands.
