What
Tracking issue — no action needed soon. Filed so the change is visible before it is urgent.
From block 3,787,502 (2027-07-01), Progressive Node Rewards changes where operator income comes from. Consensus takes 20% of every application payment on arrival into a pool, and that pool drips into operator rewards over a rolling 86,400-block (30-day) window. The other 80% goes to the Foundation address that already receives application payments today.
Why this is bigger than #202/#203/#205
Those are constants going stale — a number changes, the model stays. PNR changes the model itself. This site's entire earnings projection assumes operator income = block subsidy x tier share. After PNR, income is issuance plus a demand-funded pool component that:
- depends on actual application revenue, which the site does not currently observe at all
- is not proportional to what a node hosts — "every eligible node in a tier draws the same share of the pool regardless of what it runs" (deliberate, to stop placement becoming a race)
- ramps over years: ρ goes 0.20 at activation → 0.25 (2027) → ... → 0.50 cap (2032-10-23)
At activation PNR is only 4.29% of operator income, so the projection stays roughly right for a while — this degrades gradually rather than breaking on a date.
Status
The whitepaper marks this planned, not shipped. It also records an accepted risk worth knowing: PNR activation and the parallel-asset emission cut were settled as simultaneous, superseding the roadmap's "PNR must be demonstrably paying operators first" ordering — so there will be no external evidence that PNR pays operators before PA mining rewards are retired.
What to watch
- Whether the pool balance is exposed anywhere queryable (the whitepaper says it is committed in every block and recomputed by every validator, so it should be observable on-chain)
- Whether ρ and the drip window land as consensus constants
