Yield Nodes is a very popular investment in the crypto space, characterized for being reliable and giving an average of 10% interest every month (over the last 30 months). And they have been doing this consistently since 2019!

Today I wanted to review this project as a potential passive income opportunity that benefits from the crypto space, while getting returns in EUR.

If you prefer to watch the content in a short 4 minute video you can scroll to the end of this post to see the video.

What is Yield Nodes

Let’s start by explaining what the project is about. Yield Nodes is a node rental program in which the team uses the investors money to rent out servers to run Masternodes.

Masternodes

Masternodes are a special type of Proof of Stake node that is required to process transactions and store them in the blockchain, as well as managing more critical tasks, bringing the operator higher rewards. Masternodes are really important to maintain networks in the crypto space, and so the people that run Masternodes get paid really well for doing so.

Profits Distribution

So we invest in Yield Nodes and they rent out the servers and do all the tech work. But how are the profits distributed? 85% of the profits from masternoding goes to the investors of the project and a maximum of 15% goes to Yield Nodes for renting out, maintaining and operating the servers. However they also said that this 15% is a maximum and sometimes they reduce their cut in order to make the yields more stable in bad months.

Stability (Yes, even in the crypto space)

In Yield Nodes, there is no token or cryptocurrency, investors get paid out in dollars, euros or Bitcoin, as preferred. So there isn’t the volatility we normally see in crypto projects that give an interest like this but the earnings come from the crypto space after all.

Expected Returns

Yield Nodes has been giving an average of 10% monthly interest since it was launched to the public in october of 2019 or 120% APR. As we can see in this graph, the interest is not fixed, but it has been really stable since the project launched. This makes Yield Nodes a very stable investment in the crypto space and that has already a couple of years of experience. This yields account for 120% yearly interest or 213% yearly interest if the profits are compounded.

Team & Guarantees

But this is not all, the team members of Yield Nodes are public, as we can see in their website. This is great and gives a lot of trust in the team and the project, as shady developers want to be fully anonymous so that they can scam without consequences.

We have seen the team in multiple streams, videocalls and AMA’s with known crypto public figures like Jesse Eckel and James Pelton.

Another key thing in this project is that they guarantee that if the yield drop below 5% for 3 consecutive months, your capital will be returned along with the profits accumulated without any barriers. However that has never happened to this time.

Risks

As we all know, every investment has its risks. So let’s adress the risks of investing in this project.

  • In the case of Yield Nodes, profits don’t come from trading but from masternodes, so loss of capital is highly unlikely. Masternode servers can be cancelled as well as contracts.
  • Profits are dependent on the conditions of the market and the coins for which Yield Nodes provide the service of masternoding. Luckily, the project is working with 20+ cryptocurrencies, providing them the service of masternodes. So if one them happened to encounter problems that decreased the yield, the others would help stabilize it.
  • Then we have the risk of a lower yield. The interest is not fixed, but even as it may sound as a bad thing, it is actually good. It is not a fixed monthly return because the earnings given to investors are dependent on the actual profit Yield Nodes made while providing their service. (Remark the guarantee they have: If the yield would happen to drop under 5% for 3 months, masternoded funds and interest will be available for withdrawal instantly).

Deposits and Withdrawals

Let’s briefly discuss how deposits and withdrawals work. The minimum investment amount in this project is 500€ or around $550.

They also have 7 day grace period after the fee is received by Yield Nodes, in order to purchase node stakes and rent the servers. After that 7 days, investors start accumulating yield, which can be compounded or withdrawed. Withdrawals are done once a month and the minimum amount to withdraw is 100 EUR.

There is also a lockup period of 6 months for the money that is into masternodes. This is because they actually have to put this servers and systems in place to start generating yield.

And for anyone that wants to invest in Yield nodes, I will show you how to get started with the project.

How to get started with Yield Nodes

  1. Sign Up in Yield Nodes
  2. Submit KYC Documents. This include:
  • Signature of Agreement
  • Identification
  • Proof of Adress

3. Deposit with BTC, Stablecoins or FIAT (USD, EUR)

Once the KYC is done and approved, you can deposit using Bitcoin, FIAT or Tether. I personally send Tether (USDT) from Binance. Just remember that if you do it with Tether you have to send it through the Tron Network. If you don’t understand how crypto networks work, please learn about it before depositing.

4. Wait 7 days grace period.

As always, this is not investment advice, and I’m not trying to convince you to get into Yield Nodes. I’m just reviewing projects that I find really interesting myself and specially this time sharing what I think it is a lower risk project in the DeFi space that I think gives a pretty good yield.
