Title: PIP-002: Ratify Protocol Fees & Parameters
Summary
This proposal seeks to confirm the Protocol’s fees and associated operating variables.
Longer Description
The parameters defined in PIP‑002 serve as initial configurations to activate key functions of the protocol — compute provider registration, bonding, and fee accrual. These are not final values but a baseline framework that will be re‑evaluated periodically, particularly as $NODE’s market price fluctuates or network usage scales.
This flexible approach ensures that protocol fees and requirements remain fair, community‑aligned, and sustainable for long‑term ecosystem growth.
The proposed values are set to help the ecosystem gain early traction and establish a strong equilibrium for the AI Compute layer.
However, as the $NODE market price moves, the DAO will retain the ability to adjust these parameters to maintain economic balance and accessibility.
The fee module is a foundational pillar for NodeOps’ economic sustainability.
Bridge and withdrawal fees not only ensure network stability but also introduce the next stage of revenue streams that will flow back to the DAO treasury and the $NODE buyback/burn framework — ultimately benefiting long‑term token holders.
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Compute Provider Bonding fees | Bonding fees required for provider onboarding | 2,000 $NODE |
| Per Compute Unit (CU) Bonding fees | Bond per CU of active capacity | 200 $NODE |
| Unbonding Period | Time before withdrawal post‑exit request | 14 days |
| Bridge Fee | Fee applied to token bridging | 5 $NODE |
| Withdrawal Fee | Fee applied to unbonded withdrawals | 10 $NODE |
| Minimum value of CU for a machine | 2CU |
- Parameters to be integrated into the initial on‑chain configuration for NodeOps protocol
- DAO review cycle every 90 days post‑activation to adjust based on network metrics and $NODE market price
