Opus Token β

By running a Pintheon Node, you become a part of the network.Β Currently Pintheon Nodes run on the Stellar Network, each node supporting transactions in XLM as a payment token, as well as the native token Opus.Β Opus, is meant to act as a small incentive for running and using a node.Β A predetermined amount of Opus is minted to the Pintheon Node wallet, every time a file is uploaded to the node.
- Only Pintheon Nodes are capable of minting Opus.
- The Mint Reward is predetermined and can be adjusted via network voting
- Nodes may be invalidated, if they are found to be spamming the network with useless data.
- On mint reward, the treasury also collects a predetermined reward of Opus to it's wallet.
There is potential that Opus could become a speculative asset, though this may not be it's ultimate use case.Β The network participants will ultimately shape it's use case and direction.
