Frequently Asked Questions regarding 0xVM Validator Nodes, rewards, and node sale process.

Where can I buy a node?

Visit the 0xVM Nodes Sales official website, click the buy button and connect your wallet, enter a valid referral code, select the number of nodes to purchase, and complete the payment process.

What does a node cost?

Node prices start at $700 and will be price-locked for the first 10,000 nodes sold. After 10,000, the price increases by $1 for every 10 nodes sold.

Do I need a referral code to buy a node?

Yes, you do. If your favorite friend or KOL hasn't already provided you with one, please check in with our community on X or Discord to find one.

How do I run a node? Do I need special equipment?

We provide a service for delegated running of nodes. Therefore, you don't need to prepare any special equipment. You also do not need any technical knowledge. Running a node is as simple as, after purchase, going into the web portal and clicking “Delegate”. Delegating a node to run is free of charge.

For more information, refer to How to Buy Nodes and Running or Delegating a Node.

How can I delegate running a node?

You can select a node under Dashboard - My Nodes, then delegate to run it with just one click. The node will be online accumulating rewards within 3 hours.

What rewards do I get for running a node?

26% of our 1B $XVM token supply has been allocated to the node reward program. It will be released daily, evenly across all active nodes. During the first 180 days, 700,000 $XVM will be distributed daily across active nodes. After 180 days, it’ll be 350,000 that is distributed, instead.

A halving event occurs every 180 days until day 1,440 (4 years) when the program ends.

There are many other perks and rewards that you, as a node holder, can enjoy. Please refer to Rewards for the full list.

More details on $XVM Rewards, release schedules and per node simulations, can be found here: XVM Token Rewards.

Is there a referral program?

Yes, there's a tiered referral program. You can earn 5-15% cashback in USDT based on the total number of nodes successfully purchased through your referrals. Referral bonuses are tiered:

• 1-10 referrals: 5% per referral

• 11-50 referrals: 10% per referral

• 51+ referrals: 15% per referral

For more information, please refer to Referral Rewards.

How to withdraw referral cashback?

You need to submit a withdrawal request first in the Dashboard-Cashback section. The review process will be completed after 3:00 UTC the next day. After review, you can proceed with your withdrawal. Note that only withdrawals to BNB Chain are supported.

How do nodes generate returns?

Node holders earn daily $XVM token rewards through mining, with a structured release schedule over four years.

What are the main functions of the node?

Validator Nodes play a crucial role in 0xVM’s ecosystem as they uphold the integrity of other nodes operating within the 0xVM Network. The Validator Node seeks consensus through a majority agreed-upon state from the Operator Nodes’ execution state changes. It is also responsible for ensuring the accuracy of historical state changes recorded by the Data Consistency Layer Nodes. Validator Nodes are critical to maintaining the integrity of the 0xVM network. Rights to operate a Validator Node can be purchased from our website.

For more information on 0xVM nodes, please refer to our GitBook documentation.

How is the daily mining reward calculated? When is it distributed?

The daily mining reward depends on the size of the daily reward pool and the number of running nodes. Initially, the reward pool is set at 700,000 $XVM / day, with a halving scheduled every 6 months. Rewards are distributed daily at 00:00 UTC.

What's the token release strategy?

The token release strategy for $XVM mining rewards is as follows:

• Initial daily distribution: 700,000 $XVM per day

• Halving schedule: The daily distribution is halved every 6 months

• Program duration: 48 months (4 years)

• 26% of the overall token supply is allocated for $XVM mining rewards

Note that a month in the schedule above is equivalent to 30 days. Consequently, based on a 30-day month calculation, the full duration of the program is 1,440 days.

Note that, when the 48 month program ends and all associated $XVM have been fully distributed, a total of 25.1% of $XVM will have been used up. Since mining reward allocation is 26% of overall token supply this leaves a 0.9% buffer of the $XVM reward pool free to allocate for other mining reward purposes.

What is the maximum supply cap of nodes?

The maximum supply cap for 0xVM Validator Nodes is 50,000.

How does node pricing work?

The initial price is $700. The price remains fixed for the first 10,000 nodes. After that, the price increases by $1 for every 10 nodes sold.

Is the node transferable?

Initially, nodes are non-transferable. However, this does not affect your ability to delegate node operation or participate in mining. The transfer functionality may be enabled in a future update.

What Blockchains are supported?

• For purchasing nodes: Ethereum, Arbitrum One, and BNB Chain

• For receiving referral cashbacks: BNBChain

• For receiving $XVM, mining rewards: Ethereum

Is there any lock-up period for withdrawals?

The $XVM earned through your node rewards is subject to a short unlocking period. The redemption rate varies depending on when you unlock it, starting with 25% for immediate unlock, 50% on day 10, and ends with 100% on day 30.

The token lockup schedule is in place as an effort to help control token circulation and helps to support the longevity and stability of the network for the benefit of all.

How long after I purchase a node can I see it in my dashboard?

The waiting time depends on the blockchain you use for payment. You'll be able to see the node in your dashboard once the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain.

What chains will the rewards be sent to? How frequently?

• For receiving referral cashbacks: BNB Chain

• For receiving XVM, mining rewards: Ethereum

XVM rewards from the token pool are distributed daily. Referral bonuses are distributed immediately to the referring user’s web portal account upon successful sale of referred nodes. Network participation rewards (revenue share, gas fees, etc.) are distributed as and when the activities take place. Other rewards (airdrops, perks) are distributed on an ad-hoc basis as and when the program for the reward deems it appropriate.

Can I buy nodes as a gift to someone else?

Yes, you can. During the purchase process, select “Another address should receive and own these nodes” and input the address of the recipient. The recipient will see the nodes after logging into the web portal as soon as the blockchain transaction has been confirmed.
