$GO Token
$GO is the native token of the NodeGo ecosystem, enabling transactions, staking, governance, and network security. It plays a fundamental role in incentivizing participants, facilitating payments, and ensuring the integrity of the decentralized infrastructure.
$GO Token Usage
$GO enables holders to engage with the NodeGo network in the following ways:
1. Powering Transactions
$GO is used to pay for decentralized computing resources, including CPU, GPU, bandwidth, and storage.
Facilitates transactions for AI workloads, spatial computing, rendering, and data processing.
Supports a compute resource marketplace, where businesses and developers lease computing power from node operators.
2. Staking & Rewards
Stake $GO to operate nodes and contribute unused computing power, bandwidth, and storage.
Earn rewards for providing stable, high-performance infrastructure to the network.
Higher staking levels offer better rewards and access to premium workloads.
Staking ensures network reliability and prevents malicious activity.
3. Network Governance
$GO holders participate in DAO governance, voting on network upgrades, incentive mechanisms, and ecosystem decisions.
Proposals include improvements to the protocol, funding allocations, and partnerships.
Governance ensures NodeGo remains community-driven and decentralized.
Resource Fees
All transactions within the NodeGo Ecosystem are ultimately settled in $GO. However, businesses and developers can also pay in USD, USDC, or other supported assets, which are then converted into $GO.
Fee Mechanism:
Users purchasing compute power, bandwidth, or storage pay in multiple currencies.
Network revenues are converted into $GO, increasing token demand and liquidity.
Fees are distributed to node operators and contributors based on their level of participation.
A portion of fees may be burned to ensure long-term token value stability.
Network Security
Staking is required to operate nodes, ensuring compliance with network protocols.
Nodes must accurately report usage and facilitate transactions correctly.
Slashing mechanisms penalize dishonest behavior and reward network reliability.
As decentralization increases, automated slashing will be introduced, enforcing security in real-time.
Why a Distributed System is Necessary
A blockchain-powered system ensures fairness, efficiency, and user ownership. NodeGo leverages decentralization for:
1. Transactional Efficiency
Global compute transactions can be settled seamlessly without intermediaries.
Reduces costs and delays, optimizing compute resource allocation.
2. Transparency & Trust
All transactions, resource usage, and rewards are recorded on-chain.
Verifiable proof ensures fair distribution of earnings and prevents manipulation.
3. User Ownership & Monetization
Users own their compute power and bandwidth instead of centralized cloud providers.
Ensures fair monetization, preventing exploitation by large corporations.
Encourages a decentralized, community-driven AI and cloud computing economy.
