On behalf of the Foundation, we appreciate the community’s thoughtful engagement with PIP‑002 and support the parameters as proposed.
We would like to offer the following context:
Adaptive parameters for launch. The registration bond, per‑CU bond, unbonding period and fixed fees represent our initial configuration to bootstrap the NodeOps Network. These figures are not immutable; as $NODE’s market price moves and the network matures, the Foundation and DAO must revisit them to ensure they remain fair, inclusive and conducive to decentralization.
Fee module as a catalyst for growth. Bridge and withdrawal fees are essential to establishing sustainable revenue streams and unlocking the next stage of protocol growth. By implementing this fee module now, we can fund ongoing development, reward participants and drive long‑term value capture for $NODE holders.
With this context, we believe PIP‑002 lays a strong foundation for NodeOps. We look forward to working with the DAO to refine these parameters over time and to building a vibrant, community‑driven ecosystem.

PIP‑002[Updated]: Ratify Protocol Fees & Parameters
Summary
This proposal seeks to confirm the protocol’s core economic parameters and fee structure before the NodeOps Network moves into active operation.
The values proposed here are meant to bootstrap the network and establish initial momentum; as conditions evolve, the DAO can revisit these parameters to ensure fairness and alignment with $NODE holders and the broader community.
Context
The parameters defined in PIP‑002 serve as initial configurations to activate key functions of the protocol — compute provider registration, bonding, and fee accrual. These are not final values but a baseline framework that will be re‑evaluated periodically, particularly as $NODE’s market price fluctuates or network usage scales.
This flexible approach ensures that protocol fees and requirements remain fair, community‑aligned, and sustainable for long‑term ecosystem growth.
Rationale
1. Dynamic Parameters for Early Phase
The proposed values are set to help the ecosystem gain early traction and establish a strong equilibrium for the AI Compute layer.
However, as the $NODE market price moves, the DAO will retain the ability to adjust these parameters to maintain economic balance and accessibility.
2. Fee Module as a Revenue Engine
The fee module is a foundational pillar for NodeOps’ economic sustainability.
Bridge and withdrawal fees not only ensure network stability but also introduce the next stage of revenue streams that will flow back to the DAO treasury and the $NODE buyback/burn framework — ultimately benefiting long‑term token holders.
Proposed Parameters
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Compute Provider Bonding fees | Bonding fees required for provider onboarding | 2,000 $NODE |
| Per Compute Unit (CU) Bonding fees | Bond per CU of active capacity | 200 $NODE |
| Unbonding Period | Time before withdrawal post‑exit request | 14 days |
| Bridge Fee | Fee applied to token bridging | 5 $NODE |
| Withdrawal Fee | Fee applied to withdrawals | 10 $NODE |
| Minimum value of CU for a machine | 2CU |
Implementation Plan
-
Parameters to be integrated into the initial on‑chain configuration for NodeOps protocol
-
DAO review cycle every 90 days post‑activation to adjust based on network metrics and $NODE market price
Foundation Statement
These parameters serve as the first step in aligning the protocol’s economics with sustainable growth. As the market and community evolve, the Foundation and DAO will continue to adjust them to maintain fairness, security, and long‑term value creation.
The introduction of the fee module represents a major step in establishing recurring, protocol‑native revenue, reinforcing $NODE’s role at the core of the ecosystem.
