Verifier Node ROI Estimator
Estimate your potential returns over 4 years
Cost and Assumptions
Advanced: Custom Verification Revenue
Projected Returns (4 Years)
Cumulative Earnings Over Time
Green line shows total accumulated revenue. Orange line marks break-even. Yellow line at month 24 shows emission halving (50% of lifetime in years 1-2, then 25% in years 3-4).
Protocol Incentives
18% of total token supply (1.8B $H) are distributed among active nodes on a predetermined halving schedule every 2 years. Tooltip shows USD value at each year's token price. ~6.4% reduction applied for Leaderboard bonuses.
Revenue Composition
Earnings split: protocol incentives (distributed to all active nodes) and verification fees (paid by dApps, split among active nodes).
Leaderboard Mechanics
Stake $H to earn a multiplier on Protocol Incentives (does not apply to Verification Fees). Ranking is based on daily snapshots of staked amounts among all licenses.
| Leaderboard Percentile | Multiplier |
|---|---|
| Top 5% | 1.30x |
| Top 10% | 1.20x |
| Top 20% | 1.10x |
| Top 25% | 1.05x |
| Top 40% | 1.00x |
* The ~6.4% reduction in base protocol incentives accounts for the average effect of these leaderboard multipliers across all nodes. Staking to achieve a higher multiplier increases your rewards proportionally.
