Rivalz Nodes

Overview

The Rivalz project has two main types of nodes: Validator zNodes and Light rClients. Here are the functions of each type:

1. Validator zNodes:

  • Function: Validator zNodes are responsible for tracking the inflows and outflows of data in Rivalz's DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) layer. They also monitor and flag malicious behavior from other rNodes within the network.
  • How it works: Users are required to purchase license keys to operate zNodes. These licenses will be distributed through an upcoming Node Sale, with special access given to Dymention stakers.
  • Benefits: zNodes help ensure the security and transparency of the system, as well as control and maintain the integrity of data within the ecosystem.

2. Light rClients:

  • Function: Light rClients allow users to contribute data storage space from their devices to the network.
  • How it works: Users can upgrade their rClient with $RIZ (Rivalz token) and add computational resources to the ecosystem, which in turn will offer them greater benefits.
  • Benefits: Light rClients do not require a license key and are available for anyone to join and participate in the network. They help expand the network by leveraging resources from the community, contributing to data storage and processing.

Light rClients - Worker rNodes

rNodes have been specifically built with ease of use in mind. It should take you around 2min to install, run and setup your rNode.

The final reward calculation for each rClient is based on a weighted average of these factors, using the following formula:

R=[(0.6∗AS)+(0.2∗NCPU)+(0.1∗NRAM)+(0.1∗IS)]∗X(UM)

Where:

  • R = Reward
  • AS = Allowed Storage
  • NCPU = Normalized CPU
  • NRAM = Normalized RAM
  • IS = Internet Speed
  • UM = Uptime Multiplicator

This formula ensures that rClients with better performance, higher uptime, and more resources allocated to the network receive higher rewards.

Validator zNodes

Validator zNode Owner Benefits.

  • 2% of Total Supply Airdrop at TGE.
  • 25% of Total Supply in network rewards emissions over 2 years for active zNode Owner Participants.
  • 25% of tokens reserved for zNodes that are burnt will be reallocated to zNode owners as additional emmissions.
  • Reward capture through Worker rNode POS slashing.
  • Airdrops of AI applications built on Rivalz.
  • Reward share from Rivalz Eigen AVS.

Highlights

  • Total Token Supply Available for zNodes: 25% + 2% (Airdrop)
  • Total zNodes: 37,000
  • Tokens per zNode: 33,783 $RIZ
  • Emission Schedule: 2 years emissions post Mainnet Launch
  • Token Ticker: $RIZ
  • Rewards: Launch + Trust System
  • Community WL Node Sale: WL can be earned by participating in the Rivalz Incentivized Testnet or through partnered Communities, Launchpads, and KOLs.

How to Get a zNode

Once the node sale starts it will happen across 5 different waves. Waves will last about 10 days each and with each new wave, more partners and their communities will get whitelisted to participate in the node sale. Being whitelisted in one wave allows participation in any subsequent waves.

How can I have a chance to get on the whitelist and buy zNodes?

  • Participate in the Testnet: Joining the Intel Incentivized Testnet is the easiest way to get whitelisted for the upcoming zNode sale. You can join the Testnet for this opportunity.
  • Partnered Communities and KOLs: There will be 5 different waves, each lasting about 10 days, and during each wave, new partners and their communities will be whitelisted for the zNode sale.
  • Goldpasses: Owning Goldpasses allows you to be whitelisted and gives you the chance to purchase a zNode at the Tier 1 price. You can participate in the Testnet, join the Rivalz community, or keep an eye out for KOL and partner giveaways to obtain a GoldPass.
GoldPass

GoldPass: Each GoldPass provides exclusive access to the whitelist for purchasing Rivalz Validator zNodes.

Limited Quantity: A total of 9,000 GoldPass SBTs (Soulbound Tokens) will be issued, and they will be distributed through Rivalz’s internal campaigns and strategic collaborations with partners and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs).

Benefits: GoldPass holders will have the right to purchase a zNode Validator Key Licence at a fixed Tier-1 price. This system is designed to provide the community with a stress-free buying environment and low entry price during the zNode sale event.

After acquiring a zNode, you have the option to either hold or burn it when the TGE (Token Generation Event) occurs.

  • Hold the zNode: If you choose to hold the zNode, you will receive rewards from staking $RIZ, including ecosystem rewards, airdrops from projects within the Rivalz ecosystem, and other benefits.
  • Burn the zNode: If you choose to burn the zNode, you will receive 50% of your reserved $RIZ tokens immediately at TGE. The remaining half will be split, with one portion going to the Ecosystem Pool and the other half increasing the reserved $RIZ for those who hold. However, if you opt to burn the zNode, you will not be eligible for the long-term benefits such as additional airdrops from other projects within the ecosystem.
