FluxNodes: Globally Distributed Network
A globally distributed, computational node infrastructure that rewards individual participation for securing the network.

Incentivized Cloud Infrastructure
For every block produced, rewards are divided evenly between PoW miners and FluxNode operators.
There is a hierarchy of FluxNode tiers and the most computationally demanding tier to operate, receives the largest share of the initial 50% block reward distribution.

Proof of Useful Work v2 (PouW v2)
Shorter Block Times & More Payouts
PoUW v2 means no more inefficient GPU mining to secure the network as FluxNodes now handle block production and transaction validation.
PoUW v2 removes mining pools, reduces block times from 2 minutes to 30 seconds, and introduces a new FLUX asset maximum supply cap of 560 million with a 10% annual reduction rate.
A target inflation rate of 1% by 2036, ensures incentive-driven deflation, where burning, locking, and staking mechanisms are in place to offset emissions.

Shorter block production times mean faster finality, more efficient app registration and deployment, and more consistent reward cycles for node operators.
Tangible Improvements
PoUW v2 establishes a predictable payout structure for emissions, ensuring node operators from each FluxNode tier receives a FLUX payment for each block produced, every 30 seconds.
What this looks like:
No more waiting in queues for block rewards.
Faster finality for four times as many earning opportunities.
Deterministic payout cycles for consistent rewards.
More efficient transaction confirmations.
Predictable payouts across each node tier, every 30 seconds.
How to Deploy
FluxNodes allow for open participation—anyone can deploy and operate a node on the network.
Before launching a node, review the economic models associated with each tier outlined in the FluxNode dashboard.
Supply compute for dApp development on FluxCloud or GPU provision on FluxEdge.
The FluxNode dashboard details the technical specifications and financial parameters required to operate each FluxNode tier.
