Part I: InterValue Super Nodes Overview
1. What is Super Nodes?
In the InterValue mainnet, the Super Nodes system forms a stable backbone network, guarantees network communication and real-time verification of transactions. It also constitutes a massive storage and computing resource pool, and provides some other basic services to meet the diverse application scenarios such as the content distribution of the InterValue mainnet, ensuring high-quality network storage and providing better data stream services.
2. Super Nodes rights
The Super Nodes’s rights are mainly reflected in the revenue incentives in the system. In the InterValue system, the source of revenue for the Super Nodes is mainly to confirm the transaction reward, accounting for 60% of the total number of INVE, that is, 6 billion.
The 6 billion INVEs issued through the mining award is issued to the Super Nodes in batches with a number of transactions. The first 200 million transactions each rewarded 6 INVEs (issued a total of S1 = 1.2 billion), the 200 millionth to the 600 millionth transaction rewards 3 INVEs (distributed total S2 = 1.2 billion), the 600 millionth Transaction to the 1 billionth transaction, each reward is 1.5 INVE (distribution total S3 = 600 million). The 1 billionth transaction to the 2 billionth transaction, each reward 1.5 INVE (distribution total S4 = 1.5 billion), followed by halving awards for every 1 billion transaction. The mining reward is distributed in the local full node in a monthly settlement period, and the settlement execution begins after the last event in the settlement cycle reaches the consensus confirmation stability.
