Scales daily validations AND price together (utility-driven model). Square root node growth. Range: 0.5x to 40x.
1.0x
Independent price adjustment. Range: 0.5x ($0.031) to 40x ($2.48). Does NOT affect transaction volume.

About Reward Calculation: The weighted average (shown as "Avg Reward") represents MNW paid per validation, not per MNW staked.
Base network emissions = Daily Validations × Avg Reward × 365 = --M MNW/year (gross).
Yearly Rewards accounts for EVLS penalties (~3% reduction) giving actual network emissions of ~--M MNW/year (net).
Daily validations have exceeded 66,450. The team wallet is now DEPLETED.
This is a VITAL MILESTONE! All validator rewards are now funded through market buybacks, creating constant buy pressure.
The network has successfully transitioned to a fully decentralized, deflationary reward mechanism - bullish for MNW price!
Daily Validation Requirements by Price Target
Utility Scaling (1:1): Price must grow proportionally with validation volume. Higher prices require more network activity to be sustainable.
Treasury Runway & Death Cross Analysis
Transition to Buybacks: Team wallet depletes as validator rewards are paid. Higher prices = fewer validations needed but FASTER treasury depletion. After exhaustion, network transitions to market buybacks - creating constant buy pressure and deflationary mechanism!
2026 Cliff Events Timeline
ACTUAL PAYOUTS: Summer 2026 (Jul-Aug) represents the LARGEST cliff event with 40.9% of annual MNW rewards maturing simultaneously. Numbers shown are ACTUAL payouts based on current validation rate. At 10x growth, Summer 2026 cliff alone would EXCEED the entire team wallet!
Daily Buyback Pressure After Treasury Depletion
Market Impact: Shows required daily USD buy-wall to support validator rewards at each price level after team wallet is empty. This creates constant buy pressure = deflationary mechanism!
How Velocity Impacts Required Validations
MV=PQ Analysis: Current setting: 2.5x. Lower velocity (strong HODLing) = less market cap needed for same price. Validators who compound/restake reduce sell pressure!

Economies of Scale: VPS cost is a flat $6/month ($72/year) per server, any size. Running more nodes on one VPS spreads that fixed cost thinner, so your cost per node keeps falling as you scale!
Query Distribution & Per-Node Rate
Query Distribution
Validation work is shared equally per node across the network, so a node's throughput is simply the network demand cap (daily validations) divided by total nodes. Every validator, small or large, earns the same per-node rate. The old EVLS size-penalty has been removed: live data from 15 validators (3 to 132 nodes, Jun 2026) shows no decline with size. The earlier curve was bug-era throughput decay misread as a size effect.
The Formula
• Per node / day = daily validations (cake) ÷ total network nodes
• Reward = 0.10 MNW / validation (12-month stake)
• Size penalty (EVLS) = 0% at every size (flat)
• Total validations are limited by demand (~22.5k/day in Jun): more nodes dilute, they do not add
No Size Penalty Left: Rewards and Hosting Both Flat
Token yield is flat at every size
One $72/year VPS hosts your whole fleet, any size
More nodes per VPS = lower cost per node = better ROI
Flat $72/year, every size

Key Insight: per-node rewards are flat across all sizes, and VPS hosting is a flat $72/year per server too, so there is no size penalty left at all. Earnings scale linearly with node count; the only edge from scale is spreading that fixed $72 across more nodes for a lower cost per node. Disclaimer: the flat rate is confirmed only to 132 nodes; validators of 200-500 nodes have not been measured and might be capped in ways not seen here.

Large-validator note: highlighted rows are above 132 nodes. The flat per-node rate is verified only up to 132 nodes (live data, Jun 2026). Validators of 200-500 nodes have not been measured and might be capped in ways not seen here, so treat those rows as an estimate, not a guarantee.
Buyback Mechanism: Team Wallet operates on a circular model (no burning). When empty, buybacks occur from market, creating temporary buy pressure. Tokens return to circulation through operations. Price cycles expected: buyback periods (upward) followed by spending periods (downward).
