Node Bootstrapping
Last updated
Last updated
Oasis Nodes implement a node bootstrapping model, giving users the flexibility to run nodes through a user-friendly interface or manually, based on their preferences. This streamlined process allows users to quickly set up and operate their nodes, enabling them to start earning rewards immediately from day one. Node bootstrapping make it easy to participate in the network and maximize your earning potential from the start.
The node bootstrapping will follow a tiered system, offering early adopters the advantage of entering at a significantly lower cost compared to later participants. However, rewards and task allocation remains uniform across all tiers, ensuring that every node, regardless of when it joins the network, receives the same opportunities and workload. This model encourages early participation while maintaining fairness in reward distribution and network contribution for all nodes.

The Oasis Nodes have a total supply of 70,000 licenses, with 20% of $PLAY's total supply—equivalent to 200,000,000 tokens—allocated for Node Reward Emissions, which will be distributed over 36 months. An additional 3% of the token supply is reserved for airdrops to incentivize Node Bootstrapping participants.
The following table summarizes the projected rewards for Oasis Node operators based on specific parameters and assumptions.
These estimations of rewards can be calculated based on the number of licenses issued, and node activity with the sheet shared here.
Disclaimer: The rewards outlined are estimates based on optimal conditions and average projections. Actual rewards may vary depending on several factors, including node uptime, participation in network activities, contribution across data verification and validation, and other variables that can influence overall performance.
After purchase, Node Owners receive a non-transferable node license as an NFT on Base Mainnet. This license identifies the node owner, and only the holder of the NFT can claim the rewards.
To operate the node, owners must either activate the license or delegate it to a burner address used during setup, or associated with NodeKit, or other operators. Once delegated, the burner address receives a non-transferable License NFT on PlayAI Testnet for verification. The burner address will also be funded with gas fees to run node operations.
Node owners who have been early adopters and supported network operations since the testnet phase will be rewarded with a portion of the airdrop allocation. This recognizes their key role in bootstrapping the ecosystem. To ensure a fair market price for $PLAI, the airdrop allocation may be subject to a vesting schedule based on individual allocations. This approach not only rewards early participation but also stabilizes token distribution and avoids sudden market impacts from large unlocks.
20% of the total $PLAI token supply is reserved specifically for node rewards over the next three years, distributed via a linear monthly vesting schedule. This ensures a consistent and long-term incentive for node operators to remain actively engaged and contribute to network stability and growth. Rewards will begin accruing from the moment nodes are active, ensuring immediate earning potential. An initial portion of these TGE rewards will be unlocked at the Token Generation Event (TGE), with the remaining balance gradually vested according to each node operator's allocation. This model provides sustained incentives while maintaining network security and decentralization over time.
The rewards are distributed on a weekly epoch schedule, based on the node's contribution to network operations and data verification. Each node’s reward is proportional to its uptime, reliability, and the amount of data processed or validated during the epoch. All rewards are recorded on IPFS and smart contracts for transparency and decentralization. License holders can claim their rewards through the Node Explorer.
