A second income stream from the same network.
Smartnodes earn the same 45% share as miners, without buying a GPU. The trade-off is collateral, not compute.
45% of every block
Round-robin payments across all active smartnodes. Every node gets paid eventually, and the schedule is enforced by the chain.
Network role, not just yield
Smartnodes power InstantSend, governance voting, and the validator set. Your node is contributing to consensus, not just collecting fees.
Collateral stays yours
The 1,000,000 NEOX is locked in your own address, not staked to a contract. Stop running the node and the funds are immediately spendable.

Estimate based on the round-robin smartnode payment schedule and the live block reward. Real returns vary with active node count, fees, and chain activity. Excludes hosting cost ($0.60/month on neoxanodes.com, or whatever your VPS charges).
Two ways to host a smartnode.
Both options earn the same on-chain rewards. The choice is convenience versus control.
