Final Nodes and Rewards Per Tier

Distribution of IOST contribution rewards (calculated based on contribution score)

All contribution rewards and ‘share of votes’ rewards for Q1 2020 will be paid out in full and automatically credited to each node’s account and their voters’ accounts (50% share) by the end of April.

IOST issues the rewards based on on-chain data. IOST will distribute the rewards of all voters who voted via centralized institutions to the corresponding institutions. In addition, users who cast votes at BISS are suggested to transfer all votes to another decentralized voting channel as soon as possible, such as the IOSTABC browser, TokenPocket wallet, BEPAL wallet, etc.

At 20:00 March 27, 2020, Beijing time, IOST will hold a global node meeting to summarize the contribution of Q1 2020 and explain the development status and roadmap of IOST in 2020. Blake, IOST Foundation representative will also attend the meeting and some leading nodes will summarize their contributions in Q1 2020. Partner nodes and community members are welcome to participate!

Note: Beginning March 10, 2020, IOST started to conduct ranking and reward distribution according to the Node Program v2.0.

Final Node Tier Rankings

Following on from the release of initial Node’s Q1 contribution results and rankings and conclusion of the dispute period, all results, rankings and rewards are now finalized for Q1 and listed below (in no particular order).

Building the IOST Node Ecosystem

In 2020, we optimized the contribution reward system of partner nodes and introduced the contribution reward system v2.0 to provide more incentives for partner nodes who remarkably contribute to the IOST ecosystem.

In addition, we will further strengthen the connection with the node partners in 2020, and hold partner node conferences every month to provide a platform for everyone to communicate with each other and make progress together. We are sure that in 2020, the IOST partner node program will gain greater success, with more contributions, and more new partners.

With excellent rewards for nodes and their voters, we hope we have demonstrated the high value that building and contributing to the IOST ecosystem can have. With significant rewards, especially for Tier 1 and Tier 2 contributors, we hope to better incentivize nodes to keep contributing to the IOST ecosystem and achieve our goals of being the leading scalable and decentralized public blockchain in the world.
