Rewards Rollout Period

For the first year of DataGram’s deployment, 75% of rewards will be allocated based on uptime, while 25% will go to a usage-based pool. This distribution strategy incentivizes Core operators to maintain reliable service as the ecosystem gains initial traction. However, to ensure long-term network stability and adaptability, the reward structure will gradually shift toward usage-based metrics following the first full year. During the testnet phase, rewards will be solely determined by Checkpoints One and Two—Uptime and Latency—with 100% of distribution divided among available Full Cores based on uptime and performance. As the network scales and usage increases, the reward structure will adjust to reflect actual resource consumption.
