Node Bootstrapping
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.
Tier System
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.

Node Economics
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.
Parameter | Value |
Total Node Licenses Available | 70,000 |
Node Reward Emissions (over 36 months) | 200,000,000 $PLAI (20%) |
Airdrop Allocation for Bootstrapping | 30,000,000 $PLAI (3%) |
Example Parameters | |
Node Licenses Issued | 40,000 |
Nodes Active | 50% (35,000 active nodes) |
Estimated Rewards (per node) | |
Daily Reward | 5 $PLAI |
Annual Reward | 1,905 $PLAI |
Airdrop Allocation | 750 $PLAI |
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.
Node Licence & Activation
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.
Rewards
Airdrop Allocation:
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.
Token Allocation:
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.
Reward Distribution
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.
Referrals
Generate your unique referral code and share it with your friends and community to earn a 5% commission on every sale made through your link. While at the same time, reward your community with a 5% rebate on their purchases. There is no limit to the number of purchases made through your referral link, so each referral contributes to your influence within the community and provides access to more rewards and opportunities.
Whitelists
Partners are eligible for unique referral codes and whitelist spots for their community. Whitelist spots provide exclusive access to sales before they go live to the public. These spots are offered across all tiers, allowing partners to reward their community. Partners can also share their referral link to earn a 10% commission, while their community members receive a 6% rebate on their purchases.
Nexus Pass
Participate in upcoming activations and community initiatives to secure your rare non-transferable Nexus Pass NFT on Base Chain. This pass grants you exclusive access to whitelist spots for nodes, bonus rewards, special access, and boosts across PlayCollective.
