Credits System
How scoring works
Credits are points accumulated by nodes based on their contributions. They determine your share of network rewards and are the primary performance metric.
How Credits Work
Base Credits
pNodes × Storage × Performance × Stake
Boosted Credits
Base Credits × Boost Multipliers
Credits are earned by:
- • Uptime — Staying consistently online
- • Heartbeat Responses — +1 credit per successful heartbeat (max ~2,880/day)
- • Version Compliance — Running latest software
- • Network Contribution — Successful data storage and retrieval
Reward Threshold
You need approximately 80% of the network's 95th percentile credits to qualify for rewards. Below this threshold = zero earnings for that epoch.
