How are Xandeum pNode rewards calculated?

Each pNode earns a share of the per-Yuga STOINC pool based on its contribution weight: storage space x performance score x active stake x boost factor. Your share equals your weight divided by the total network weight, and 90% of the wSOL fee pool each Yuga goes to pNode operators (5% to Xandeum Platform Corporation, 5% to the Foundation).

STOINC (Storage Income) is Xandeum's system that converts real storage activity into wSOL fee pools paid to pNode operators. Fees are collected and settled once per Yuga, roughly every 2.8 days.

How much can a Xandeum pNode earn?

It depends on your storage, uptime, staked XAND and boost factor relative to the rest of the network, and on the size of the wSOL pool that Yuga. Because the pool and network total are not fully known until a Yuga closes, all figures are formula-based estimates.

What is a boost factor?

A multiplier on a pNode's reward weight. It combines your purchase-era boost with the multipliers of up to two assigned NFT boosts (for example a 1.2x and a 1.5x NFT give a 1.8x NFT boost).

How Xandeum pNode rewards work

How are rewards calculated?

Each pNode earns a share of the per-Yuga STOINC pool based on its contribution weight = storage × performance score × active stake × boost factor. Your share is your weight divided by the total network weight. 90% of the wSOL pool each Yuga goes to operators, 5% to Xandeum Platform Corporation and 5% to the Foundation.

What is STOINC and a Yuga?

STOINC (Storage Income) turns real storage activity into wSOL fee pools for operators. It settles once per Yuga, roughly every 2.8 days. So a year holds about 130 Yugas.

What is the boost factor?

A multiplier on your weight. It combines your purchase-era boost with up to two NFT boosts that multiply together. A 1.2× and a 1.5× NFT give a 1.8× NFT boost; multiply that by your era boost for the total.

What's live vs a scenario?

The network total weight is live now: we sum storage × stake across every node from self-sourced per-node data (the same feed that powers the dashboard's Storage column). The only remaining scenario is the wSOL pool per Yuga, which isn't known until a Yuga closes. Per-node performance and boost aren't public, so they fold into your own inputs (which adjust your share relative to the network).
