### **Community — 290,000,000**

The **Community Allocation** is designed to reward early contributors, support infrastructure growth, and drive adoption. It is broken down into the following categories:

#### **🔹 Future Incentives — 140,000,000 (14%)**

* **Retroactive rewards** for developers, content creators, and active community members.
* **Grants & incentive programs** to drive adoption of decentralized computing.
* **Hackathons & ecosystem initiatives** to fund innovation within the network.

#### **🔹 Node & Infrastructure Rewards — 50,000,000 (5%)**

* **Incentives for node operators** who contribute **unused CPU, GPU, bandwidth, and storage**.
* Helps **bootstrap decentralized computing** before the network transitions to a self-sustaining fee model.
* **Higher rewards** for reliable nodes with high uptime and efficient resource contribution.

#### **🔹 Airdrop One — 100,000,000 (10%)**

* **Massive airdrop** to distribute ownership fairly and onboard early users.
* Encourages **network participation** and engagement.
* **Referral & mission-based rewards** for community involvement.

### **Foundation & Ecosystem Growth — 250,000,000**

This allocation ensures the **long-term sustainability** of NodeGo by funding:

* **Infrastructure & network upgrades** to enhance security and scalability.
* **Partnerships & integrations** to expand adoption.
* **Research & development** into next-gen decentralized computing solutions.
* **Community initiatives** to support grassroots engagement and education.

**Governance:** Managed by the **DAO**, ensuring transparent fund distribution.

### **Early Investors — 280,000,000 (28%)**

* **Supporters & strategic backers** who contributed to NodeGo’s early development.
* **1-year cliff & 1-year vesting** to align with long-term growth.
* Locked tokens **cannot be staked** until fully vested.
* Ensures investor alignment with the network’s decentralized future.

### **Core Contributors — 180,000,000 (18%)**

* Reserved for Core contributors, which includes current and future contributors.
* **1-year cliff & 3-year vesting period** to align with long-term sustainability.
* Locked tokens **cannot be staked** until fully vested.

## **How Node Operators Contribute & Earn**

NodeGo’s decentralized computing model allows users to **monetize idle resources**, including:\
✅ **Unused CPU & GPU Power** – AI workloads, rendering, and data processing.\
✅ **Bandwidth Contribution** – Shared internet bandwidth for VPNs, CDNs, and P2P services.\
✅ **Storage & Computing Power** – Enabling decentralized cloud computing.

By **running a NodeGo instance**, users earn rewards proportional to their contributions, ensuring fair and efficient resource operations.
