$OPNODE Coin

💠 $OPNODE Token Overview

The $OPNODE token is the native utility, reward, and governance asset of the OpNode ecosystem.

It powers all economic activity across the network — from GPU transactions to staking and governance — while aligning long-term incentives between users, providers, and the DAO.

Beyond simple utility, $OPNODE is engineered for sustainable growth, deflationary pressure, and community-driven governance, supported by a transparent, on-chain treasury architecture.

This section covers the token’s purpose, structure, use cases, issuance model, and treasury design.

🧬 Token Identity

🔄 Token Utility

$OPNODE is a multi-functional asset with real economic utility across all network participants.

🎛 For GPU Providers

• Stake $OPNODE to build trust and gain access to job allocations

• Earn $OPNODE rewards upon verified task completion

• Pay protocol-level fees (e.g. listings, premium bandwidth) in $OPNODE

🧠 For Task Creators (Clients)

• Pay for compute tasks directly in $OPNODE

• Lock $OPNODE in escrow to secure job execution

• Earn rebates and fee discounts by staking $OPNODE

🗳 For Governance Participants

• Stake $OPNODE to propose, vote, and approve DAO-level initiatives, upgrades, and treasury actions

🌍 For Delegators

• Delegate $OPNODE to verified providers and earn a share of staking rewards passively

💰 Treasury Design — “The Core Engine”

The OpNode Treasury is a smart-contract-governed reserve responsible for ecosystem growth, token stability, and incentive funding.

Objectives

• Stabilize the token economy

• Fund R&D, developer grants, bounties, and ecosystem initiatives

• Reward long-term contributors and stakers

🔁 Revenue Streams

• Protocol Fees — % of GPU job payments (in $OPNODE or bridged tokens)

• Penalty Slashing — forfeited stake from misbehaving providers

• Token Buybacks — open-market purchases during down-cycles for peg or burn

• DAO-Controlled Yields — capital deployed into partner DeFi protocols or LP pools

📊 Treasury Allocation

✅ All allocations are on-chain visible, DAO-governed, and released via transparent multi-sig controls.

🧠 Token Distribution

🧩 Token Emissions & Deflation Mechanics

• Emission Model: Semi-fixed, front-loaded with halving epochs every 12 months

• Max Supply Cap: 1B $OPNODE — no inflation after Year 6

🔥 Burn Mechanisms

• A percentage of network fees permanently burned

• DAO-based burn proposals via governance

• Buy-and-burn programs activated during treasury surpluses

🧠 Game-Theoretic Design

$OPNODE is triple-incentivized to align value creation across stakeholders:

1. Stake — earn rewards and participate in governance

2. Use — transact, pay fees, and power the network economy

3. Hold — benefit from scarcity, burns, and ecosystem growth

It merges DeFi-native tokenomics with real-world utility loops, ensuring $OPNODE remains a productive, not purely speculative, asset.

🔮 Future Integrations (In Progress)

• Fee Tier Rebates — dynamic discounts based on stake size and activity

• Multi-Chain Treasury Portals — yield deployment across DePIN + compute chains

• Cross-Protocol Incentives — collaborations with DePIN, AIx, and zkML ecosystems

• Stablecoin Collateralization — enabling $OPNODE as collateral in DeFi integrations
