5. Year One: Daily Distribution

Year One

Total GNO for Year One: 17,500,000,000 GNO

Daily Distribution: 17,500,000,000 GNO / 365 days = 47,945,205 GNO/day

Daily Breakdown: Oracle Full Node Operators (40%): 19,178,082 GNO/day

Active Oracle AppNode Users (40%): 19,178,082 GNO/day

All Nodes (20%): 9,589,041 GNO/day

Year Two

Daily Distribution Total GNO for Year Two: 8,750,000,000 GNO

Daily Distribution: 8,750,000,000 GNO / 365 days = 23,972,602 GNO/day

Daily Breakdown: Oracle Full Node Operators (40%): 9,589,041 GNO/day

Active Oracle AppNode Users (40%): 9,589,041 GNO/day

All Nodes (20%): 4,794,520 GNO/day

For each subsequent year, the total distribution would be halved again, following the same percentage allocations, unless the governance process alters the distribution structure.

This structured halving model ensures a gradual and sustainable release of GNO tokens, aligning with the principles of scarcity and long-term value appreciation, while consistently rewarding network participants and encouraging ongoing engagement with the platform.

5.1 Technical Architecture

The Gnodi Blockchain, as a Layer One blockchain, is structured around a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. This architecture emphasizes scalability, security, and interoperability, providing a foundation that is both future-proof and capable of supporting a diverse range of applications and use cases. The design choices made in the development of Gnodi reflect a deep commitment to creating a platform that can meet the evolving needs of the digital economy while maintaining high performance, security, and flexibility.

The Gnodi Blockchain’s architecture is designed to support high transaction throughput, enabling the network to scale efficiently as user demand grows. Unlike traditional Proof-of-Work (PoW) systems, which require significant computational resources, PoS relies on validators who are selected based on their stake in the network.

Users are incentivized to become validators because it opens an additional opportunity to gain GNO. To operate as a validator, they must offer a minimum of 5,000 GNO as collateral. This creates strong incentives for maintaining network integrity, as any malicious behavior could result in the loss of their staked GNO tokens. This model not only enhances security but also promotes decentralization by encouraging broad participation from a diverse group of validators. Further, it allows for faster transaction processing and reduced energy consumption.

In addition to providing a framework that protects integrity and scalability through validators and staking, Gnodi’s technical architecture is also designed to protect interoperability through cross- chain communication and asset transfers. Users are able to move GNO tokens, NFTs, and other digital assets between different blockchains with ease. This capability fosters a more connected and collaborative decentralized ecosystem, where diverse networks can work together to create new opportunities and use cases.
