# DAO Nodes

### Abstract

**DAO Nodes** follow concept of rewarding locked stakers with **PDD** rewards for their efforts. Nodes are creating a strong incentive for long term holding of **PDD**. Users are able to spend 50 **PDD** to create a node that delivers daily **PDD** rewards back to the user at an estimated initial rate of ***\~3%*** daily delivering passive yield. This will reward long term holders with a high yield and in turn lock up a portion of the **PDD** supply helping to reduce market sell pressure on **PDD**.

### Utility

Nodes often suffer from sustainability issues due to their tokens having no other purpose than simply as a reward token for selling, which is an issue for algorithmic stable coin protocols. At ***PolyDoge DAO*** adding strong utility to **PDD** is something team have focused on so far through unique yielding opportunities with partner protocols. This includes implementing mechanisms such as a maximum cap on total ROI that is possible to receive from a single node and tweaking of the daily drip rate to maintain a sweet spot of ***\~3%***. There is no limit to the number of nodes someone can own however the more you own the greater your daily yield back in **PDD**.

### Specification 

* 50 **PDD** cost per node 
* Unlimited nodes per account 
* Estimated ***\~3%*** daily **PDD** rewards paid (returns are not guaranteed and are based on reward pool balance + **DAO Fund** balance) 
* Up to a max ***500%*** ROI on each node (max possible ROI is not possible to guarantee and is based on reward pool balance + **DAO Fund** balancee)

### Strategy 

Much like in our base layer seigniorage protocol education and strategy play a large part in ensuring sustainability of the system. If the majority of participants operate in unison and follow the same strategy the system has a better chance at maintaining sustainability over the long run, essentially making the system a social experiment. We have produced a detailed strategy flowchart for users to follow based on the TWAP of the **PDD** token and often remind participants of the current optimal strategy to follow for protocol health which in turn helps protect the longevity of your investment.

### Risks 

Investing in DeFi is experimental and risky, there is no guaranteed return on any product or investment. By using ***PolyDoge DAO***, you agree that the team is not responsible for any financial losses from investing in ***PolyDoge DAO*** nor do we promise any returns now or in the future. Nodes are ***highly experimental locked staking mechanism*** and the total amount of rewards that can be paid are determined by a number of factors including the number of nodes created, the TWAP expansion rates of the protocol and the performance of investments made by the treasury.
