With the Shannon tokenomics now live, the network is running on core business fundamentals. The cost to use the network (the burn) is the amount rewarded to noderunners for providing the relay (the mint). That means total revenue is highly dependent on adoption, and on total node count.
Most noderunners are going to find that 20-30% revshare is not adequate to be profitable as a business. While it is up to each provider to set their own rates, PNF wants to be clear about what we are paying with F-Chains II to help set a standard.
We are paying a minimum of 50% revshare for high traffic chains, and up to 100% revshare for low traffic chains.
Our noderunners work hard to maintain high QoS onchain, and to serve the core needs of the network, so that service should be priced accordingly. Additionally, as the data types supported by the network expand and grow, there will be many different types of noderunner businesses that serve specific needs. We want to move away from there being a cutthroat competition around net yield to stakers, and towards a network of expert infra providers delivering a high quality service to the actual users of the network.
