@CryptoJar DeEEP Network rewards participants through three main mechanisms:
Hosting Fees
50 % → hardware owners (hosts)
20 % → NerdNode (management, sales, marketing)
27 % → DeEEP Network operations
2.7 % → service creators
0.3 % → Community Fund
Plug-In Rewards
Bonus for early adopters, distributed monthly by tiers:
Tier 1 (first 10,000 devices): 10,000 $DEEEP/month
Tier 2: 5,000/month
Tier 3: 2,500/month
Tier 4: 1,250/month
Tier 5: 625/month
Rewards last up to 12 months.
Full amount only if device is properly configured (directly connected to modem or with port-forwarding, at least 100/20 Mbps). Otherwise only 50 % is paid.
Utilization Rewards
Based on device efficiency and actual service usage.
Each device is allocated locked tokens according to its Calculated Performance Rating (CPR).
Formula:
Monthly Reward=CPR used12×600 $DEEEPMonthly\ Reward = \frac{CPR\ used}{12} \times 600\ \text{\$DEEEP}Monthly Reward=12CPR used×600 $DEEEP
Example: 16 CPR → 16 \times 600 ÷ 12 = 800\ $DEEEP/month.
Requirements: at least 99 % uptime + compliance with Good Citizen rules.
👉 This reward structure combines early adoption incentives (Plug-In), steady income from Hosting Fees, and long-term efficiency via Utilization Rewards, ensuring fair distribution across all contributors.
The fact that DeEEP came into DePIN with an established business already in place was enough to win me over. Few have that. I also like that they only sell in limited batches based on demand.
