Node Incentive Logic

Earn by Contributing Compute. Get Rewarded for Reliability.

Skyops transforms idle GPU hardware into revenue-generating infrastructure. But earning isn’t just about being online — it’s about performance, uptime and consistency. Our Node Incentive Logic ensures contributors are rewarded fairly and transparently, based on real contribution to the network.

🧭 How It Works

1. Register Your Node

Run the CLI command to onboard your machine:

skyops register-node --gpu RTX4080 --ram 64 --bandwidth 300

You’ll declare hardware specs, set availability windows and link a payout wallet.

2. System Validation

Skyops performs automatic benchmarking to confirm your GPU capabilities (TFLOPS, VRAM, CUDA availability) and verifies bandwidth for job eligibility.

3. Availability Signaling

Use the CLI or dashboard to define when your node is active:

skyops set-availability --hours 18

Nodes outside their declared uptime windows won’t receive task assignments.

🔍 Real-Time Monitoring

Skyops tracks:

• Job completion rate

• Node uptime %

• Task latency and throughput

• System responsiveness during active sessions

Performance data feeds into your Node Reputation Score, which directly affects job priority and reward multipliers.

💰 Earning Formula

Each job completed by your node generates a reward, calculated as:

Reward = BaseRate × ComputeScore × Duration × PerformanceMultiplier

Where:

• ComputeScore = TFLOPS × RAM × bandwidth

• PerformanceMultiplier = based on uptime, success rate, staking tier

Nodes with high reliability and active staking receive up to 1.5x–2x bonus rewards.

🛡 Stability = More Rewards

• 95%+ Uptime → unlocks top-tier job assignments

• Auto Maintenance Mode lets you pause gracefully without penalization

• Fallback Handling ensures tasks are re-routed only after retry thresholds, maintaining network stability

🧠 Transparent, On-Chain Accounting

• All reward logic is governed by smart contracts

• Payouts in $SKYOPS or ETH are triggered automatically after task verification

• Full audit trail available via Skyops Explorer

Skyops doesn't just rent your GPU — it values your consistency, performance and availability. You’re not just a provider — you’re part of the network’s backbone.
