PIP-04 makes it official ✅
From day one, the intention has never changed: $NODE is the economic layer of the NodeOps Network.
Its growth must follow the growth of the ecosystem itself.
PIP-04 formalizes this vision and turns it into an on-chain, rule-based economic engine that aligns the entire Network around long-term, sustainable value.
Here is what this really means:
→ Every dollar of real network usage now translates directly into on-chain burns
→ 50% of all protocol fees are burned permanently, enforced by contract and sent to an immutable address
→ 50% of revenue feeds an adaptive mint mechanism that only expands supply when the ecosystem grows
→ r (the mint ratio) stays conservative by default and can only increase with explicit governance approval
→ Weekly burns become predictable, auditable, and verifiable by anyone in real time
This establishes a transparent, irreversible, and fully automated deflationary foundation for $NODE.
And it does more than reduce supply:
→ It creates trust
→ It creates alignment
→ It creates a direct link between network maturity and token value
Weigh in now: http:/forum.nodeops.network/t/...…
NodeOps already burned 3% of total supply earlier this year, all sent to the same provably irrecoverable address.
PIP 04 takes that commitment and hard-codes it into the Network’s DNA.
This is the economic engine that will power NodeOps going forward: predictable, transparent, and built for institutional confidence.
A self-reinforcing loop where:
More usage → more burns → more scarcity → stronger value accrual
That is the vision.
That is the future PIP-04 unlocks for $NODE.
