It fundamentally reimagines utility networks by establishing quality of service through incentivsed competition. This allows users to access top-performing Validators, with the network's capacity dynamically scaling to meet demand. Validators compete for rewards, guaranteeing optimal performance, while Guardians ensure network security and reliability. The core technology behind Pangea Network's flagship streaming capabilities – delivering fully indexed blockchain data to the end user in under 100ms – is now leveraged to orchestrate a unified package of resources. This includes RPC, indexed data, aggregated data, and AI inference, providing users with a robust and resilient infrastructure they can rely on and own. Pangea Network aggregates the best resource providers to deliver a level of quality previously unattainable. For example, our network outperforms RPC on local deployments of client nodes, limited only by the users network connection. ### Key Participants #### **Validators** Resource providers who stake tokens and operate infrastructure to service computing resource slots. They earn revenue from network fees. #### **Guardians** Security monitors who ensure validator quality of service through continuous performance monitoring across all resource types. They earn rewards when validators fall below the 95th percentile performance threshold. Guardians assure network security standards are met. #### **Protocol & DAO Treasury** The DAO manages the funds to invest in the network with the aim to increase network fees. The Protocol will automatically help to stabilise the price by collecting a protocol fee from the overall network fees and balancing a buy-back and lock mechanism to be later invested or burnt by vote. This creates natural price support that offsets selling pressure while removing tokens from circulation. As network usage increases, the treasury will remove liquid tokens. #### **Sponsors and Users** Sponsors are the demand-side customers who drive the network's economic engine by paying monthly slot rent and gas tank top ups for computing resources including RPC services, blockchain indexing, and AI inference capabilities. They are mostly chains and protocols who demand backend services with high QoS. Sponsors expect high performance standards and their satisfaction directly impacts validator revenue, creating natural quality enforcement without centralised oversight. As the network's customers, sponsors benefit from anti-fragile reliability, competitive pricing through validator competition, transparent performance monitoring, and flexible scaling options, while their growing demand drives the self-reinforcing flywheel where more sponsors attract more validators and improve service quality. If a user demands full soverignty over network utility they can choose to pay directly or self host. ### Core Mechanisms #### **Slots & Sponsorship** Sponsors pay monthly rent for computing resource slots including RPC endpoints, blockchain indexing services, and AI inference capacity. In addition to slot rent, end users pay for actual resource consumption unless sponsors choose to subsidise usage by topping up a "gas tank" that can partially or fully cover end-user costs. This dual-payment model allows sponsors to control their exposure while enabling flexible monetisation strategies - from pure pay-per-use models to fully subsidised experiences. The gas tank mechanism creates convenience by attracting users through various subsidy levels. #### **Resource Orchestration** The network intelligently coordinates distributed computing resources, matching sponsor demand with validator capacity across multiple service types. Validators can specialise in specific resources or provide hybrid services to maximise their revenue potential. #### **Revenue Share Model** Slot revenue is split between validators and DAO treasury. Validators receive proportional shares based on their stake weight and slot assignments across RPC, indexing, and AI inference services, while the DAO funds the automatic buy-back and lock mechanism that supports token value. #### **Performance Incentive System** Quality-based revenue model where validators maintaining a target of say 95th percentile performance standards across their service offerings receive full earnings potential. Those operating below this threshold receive a performance discount on their revenue share. This is equivalent to slashing in other networks, but works retroactively to discount future revenues should QoS fall below the threshold. This creates a natural 5% revenue variance that rewards operational excellence while maintaining realistic performance expectations. #### **Buy-Back and Lock** The Protocol automatically balances the purchase of tokens from the market and locks them, reducing circulating supply. This creates deflationary pressure while providing ongoing price support against market volatility. ## Rewards Pangea's DAO will offer a four-tier reward system to ensure comprehensive incentive alignment across the community. * **network fee rewards** maintain operational sustainability, * **retroactive rewards** recognise valuable contributions that standard fees might miss, * **grant** enable strategic investment in network growth and development, and * **growth rewards** educate and onboard users for sustainable adoption. This approach focuses on rewarding value creation for the network. The key audience for the rewards, but not limited to, are Validators, Guardians, Developers, and Users. There will be ample opportunity for the community to get invovled at your level of expertise. Participation starts with [Discord]() ### Network Fee Rewards Operational network fee revenue from sponsors and paying users is shared with the Protocol, Validators and Guardians. To sustain day-to-day network operations, incentivise quality service delivery, and maintain economic stability through automated token market operations. ### Retrospective Rewards Dedicated token allocation for recognising past contributions to network development. Determined by contribution value to network development, with no predefined expectations or allocations. Those eligible: * **Validators**: Who demonstrate exceptional performance, innovation, and early adoption * **Guardians**: Who provide outstanding security monitoring or help improve network quality standards * **Developers**: Who contribute meaningful code, tooling, or infrastructure improvements * **Users**: Who adopt the tools and provide meaningful feedback ### Grants Strategic token reserves allocated for significant development contributions and future network advancement. Two grant categories: * **Recognition Grants**: For significant past contributions upon formal request with demonstrated impact * **Development Grants**: For future work proposals, distributed on milestone-based achievement Contributors who have shown to materially advanced the network through development, research, community building, or strategic partnerships can apply. We aim to support network development initiatives, attract high-quality contributors, and enable strategic projects that enhance network capabilities and adoption. ### Quest Rewards Educational incentive allocation is designed for community growth and user retention. Task-based rewards will be available for completing educational activities, tutorials, and network familiarisation exercises. For new and existing users participating in structured learning experiences about network features, data science, best practices and DeFi activities. The key metrics we value are user adoption, engagement and retention. As the network stabilises and ready for onboarding quest style campaigns may be used for education of new users on how to utilise the available computing resources. ### Participation To participate engage with our socials and join the [Discord]() and to start learning. ## Token The Pangea token serves as the native utility for the decentralised orchestration layer, designed to align economic incentives between Validators, security monitors Guardians, and the bidding mechanisms of the Protocol and DAO Treasury Management. The token will be issued on Ethereum Mainnet with a bridge to Pangea's L2 Orchestration Layer. ### Core Functions #### **Staking & Security** * Investors stake Pangea tokens to enable Validators to compete for rewards. * Validators stake Pangea tokens to participate in a bidding process competing for network revenue. * Token emissions provide validator rewards proportional to QoS and stake at risk. * Locked validator capital ensures long-term network commitment #### **Quality Assurance** * Guardians receive token rewards for monitoring validator performance * Performance-based income model where guardians earn from maintaining high service standards #### **Value Stabilisation** * Protocol collects fees and automatically balances demand with a token buy-back and lock mechanism * **Token locking mechanism** removes tokens from circulation for later investment or burn by vote ### Economic Mechanics #### **Supply** Tokens are paid out only when revenue is generated. Fees are fixed to the dollar per time share and payment is accepted in stables or native tokens. The total supply is fixed at 2,000,000,000 tokens. #### **Demand Drivers** * Validator staking requirements for network participation * Automatic protocol buy-backs funded by network revenue growth * **Token locks** reducing circulating supply without destruction * Staked token rewards attracts investors to the network driving market demand #### **Price Discovery** Rewards are issued as part of revenue share. The token buy-backs are balanced based on demand. The unlocking schedule will release tokens gradually over time. Most tokens are locked for 1 year plus 3 years linear vesting unless strategically unlocked earlier, i.e. treasury and retrospective rewards will be unlocked at network launch. The demand for the token is a direct correlation of it's utility and ability for validators to run a full stack of services. The DAO will fund innovation and new competitive services for the validator network to run - increasing demand and network fees. This creates a natural equilibrium that strengthens with network success, re-investment and sponsor adoption across RPC, indexing, aggregation, and AI inference services. ### Value Proposition The Pangea token accrues value through the network's growth flywheel: quality service drives adoption → adoption increases slot revenue → revenue funds automatic token buy-backs and locks → reduced liquid supply attracts more validators → enhanced security and capacity enable further growth → a strong token price means DAO can invest in new innovative services to attract new users. #### **Key Advantage** Unlike burning, locked tokens could potentially be used for future network governance, emergency reserves, or strategic partnerships while still removing them from active circulation and creating scarcity-driven value accrual. The use of locked tokens will be governed by DAO votes. #### **Investment** Investors who buy and stake tokens will enjoy a rate of interest that reflects the growth and revenue share of the network. As the rate of interest increases the demand for the token will increase, appreciating the value - as more investors stake their tokens the interest rate will reduce as the revenue share will become diluted. When the rate of interest lowers, investors will unstake and sell tokens, increasing liquidity and reducing demand for the token. In turn, this will increase the rate of interest and the demand for the staked token will increase once again. Thus the market price will incrementally reflect the success of the network and the growth of the token over time. import { TokenomicsChart } from '../../components/TokenomicsChart' ## Tokenomics The Pangea Network is a decentralised, community-run and -owned network, governed by a token. Tokenomics is the distribution to token holders. Presented here is the breakdown of the Pangea Network tokenomics. :::note Figures shown on the pie are rounded to the nearest whole number. MM is short for Market Makers. Max supply is fixed at 2,000,000,000 tokens. ::: ## Become a Validator Validators run nodes in Pangea, providing resources to the network. To be whitelisted to join Pangea's devnet as a validator, head over to our [Discord]() and make a request. There are three steps to becoming a validator: :::steps #### [Run a node](/how-to/validator-onboarding/run-a-node) You will need to run a blockchain node according to specific configuration requirements. #### [Teleport your node into Pangea](/how-to/validator-onboarding/teleport-a-node) To provide resources to the network, you will need to dock your node into Pangea's port. #### [Register your node](/how-to/validator-onboarding/register-a-node) Lastly, you'll need to register so that the network can discover your node. ::: For specific instructions on each of these steps see the how to guides. Once up and running, you are expected to respond to ongoing feedback from the system to [ensure your node is performant](/how-to/validator-onboarding/performance-monitoring). ## Performance Monitoring By maintaining a network of highly-performant validators and using intelligent load balancing to route requests to optimal providers, Pangea is able to provide best-in-class performance for end users at all times. Providers are expected to maintain competitive performance relative to their peers in the network to ensure they are being selected to serve user requests. Once onboarded, validators will be granted access to an observability dashboard providing detailed metrics about their node's performance in Pangea. Validators should respond to ongoing feedback from the system and ensure optimal performance. Our [Discord]() provides a gathering place for professional validators to exchange tips on best practices, so feel free to ask for help there. ## Register a Node Once your node is running and has been teleported into Pangea, the last step is to register your node. Registration is required so that the network can discover your node. :::steps #### Download the keygen TODO #### Generate your keys TODO #### Register your key Send your public key along with your location and hardware information in our private [Discord]() channel to complete the registration. ::: ## Run a Node Currently, Pangea supports Reth nodes for EVM networks such as Ethereum and Base. ## Dock a Node To provide resources to the network as a validator, you'll need to teleport your node into Pangea. The teleporter allows users to access your node securely and efficiently when making RPC calls to Pangea. Assuming you have a node running according to Pangea's [specifications](/how-to/validator-onboarding/run-a-node), to teleport your node you'll need to: :::steps ##### TODO :::
