The Demos Network is taking a leap forward in rolling out the Omniweb infrastructure, with the launch of our community NFT Sale starting 1st October.

Available at the discounted valuation of $30m FDV and exchangeable for DEM tokens at any point after TGE, this limited offering of 500 Node NFTs represents a unique opportunity for our loyal community to become foundational validators in the world's most advanced cross-web interoperability network.

What Are Demos Node NFTs?

Demos Node NFTs are Solana-based digital assets that serve as your key to becoming the first validators on the Demos Network. When you set up your node, the NFT acts as your security stake enabling you to participate in our Proof of Representation consensus mechanism, and secure the network while earning rewards.

Each node NFT is transferable for 40,000 DEM tokens at any point after TGE, however only these NFT's have access to a superior set of validator rewards that make it a lucrative proposition to run a node and become the foundational layer of the Omniweb.

Node Sale Structure

• Total Available: 500 Node NFTs

• Reserved: 100 NFTs for key community members, investors, moderators, administrators, and ambassadors

• Available for Sale: 400 NFTs

• Purchase Limit: 3 per community member (after community phase all limits are removed)

• Price: $1,200 USD per NFT (payment channels TBC)

• Transferable Value: 40,000 DEM tokens per NFT post TGE

Exclusive Community Access Period

For the first two weeks, Node NFT purchases will be exclusively available to our most dedicated community members on a first come first serve basis (limited to 3 per member). Access is determined through our Demos Identity System, which will ensure you meet one of the following criteria:

• Top 100 Alpha Leaderboard: Must be ranked in the top 100 participants from our Alpha phase at start of sale

• OG Badge Holders: Possession of the OG badge in our Discord community

• Token Holdings: Wallet must contain OOO, Gjeite, or Kaiba tokens at the time of snapshot

Important: To participate, you must have both your qualifying account and your payment account linked through the Demos Identity System. This validation ensures our most committed community members get first access while demonstrating the power of our cross-context identity solution.

Validator Rewards Structure

Standard Network Revenue

As outlined in our Yellow Paper, Demos Network transaction revenue is split into 2 areas:

• Platform Transaction Fees: Flat fees charged across the network producing revenue for the Demos Treasury

• RPC Fees: Set by the validator and wholly captured by the validator owner

These rewards follow the standard economic mechanics detailed in our Yellow Paper.

Special Node NFT Bootstrap Rewards

Understanding that network adoption takes time, Demos has implemented a special 12-month bootstrap program exclusively for Node NFT holders. While Demos maintains a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens, we've allocated additional rewards to incentivize early validators during the critical network launch period.

Bootstrap Reward Details:

• Duration: First 12 months post-TGE (Token Generation Event)

• Reward Rate: 50% DEM token rewards paid monthly at 4.16% per month based on starting token equivalent holding (1 Node NFT = 40,000 DEM)

• Eligibility: Validators must remain operational and maintain good citizenship standards

• Total Allocation: 1% of total token supply dedicated to these bootstrap rewards

This bootstrap period begins after TGE, giving you the entire Beta phase to set up your validator and ensure it's running smoothly before rewards commence.

Good Citizenship Requirements

Validators receiving bootstrap rewards must maintain "good citizen" status throughout the 12-month period. This includes:

• Maintaining consistent uptime and performance standards

• Following network upgrade procedures

• Participating constructively in governance decisions

• Avoiding malicious behavior or network attacks

Validators who fail to meet these standards will be removed from the bootstrap reward program.

Financial Overview

Node Sale Metrics:

• Total NFTs: 500

• Price per NFT: $1,200

• Exchange value: 40,000 DEM tokens per NFT

• FDV at time of NFT sale: $30m

• Total allocation from node sale: 2% DEM token supply

• Bootstrap rewards allocation: 1% DEM token supply

NFT Transferability and Exchange Options

Node NFTs are fully transferable, providing flexibility for participants:

Third-Party Sales: NFTs can be sold on secondary markets, with rewards transferring to the new holder upon ownership verification and node verification through the Demos Identity System.

Direct Exchange Program: Alternatively, NFT holders can exchange their NFT directly for 40,000 DEM tokens anytime after TGE

Reward Transfer Mechanism: Our Demos Identity System performs periodic monthly checks to verify NFT ownership. When ownership changes hands (NFT ownership transfer through sale), rewards automatically transfer to the new verified holder from the start of the next reward month. If a node NFT is exchanged for DEM tokens, bootstrap rewards cease immediately for that NFT without any possibility of re-entry into the program.

Key Dates

• October 1st: Node sale begins for whitelisted community members

• October 15th: Sale opens to wider participants (if NFTs remain available)
