# Validator Node Explained

Validator nodes are lightweight nodes managed by the community. They play a crucial role in maintaining the protocol's integrity, enhancing its trustworthiness and security by validating TEE attestations on-chain.\ <br>

#### Node Airdrop Mechanism

Only nodes purchased before the Token Generation Event (TGE) will receive an **one-time airdrop reward.**<br>

* After receiving the airdrop, $sNUBI will follow the conversion process outlined in the next section.

#### $sNUBI to $NUBI Conversion and Reward Withdrawal Mechanism

All mining rewards must be manually claimed by users. The following withdrawal rules apply:

* **30 Days:**
  * **Mining Output:** 100%
  * **Withdrawable Portion:** 25%
  * **Early Withdrawal Redistribution:**
    * Destroyed: 37.5%
    * Returned to Mining Reward Pool: 37.5%
* **60 Days:**
  * **Mining Output:** 100%
  * **Withdrawable Portion:** 50%
  * **Early Withdrawal Redistribution:**
    * Destroyed: 25%
    * Returned to Mining Reward Pool: 25%
* **180 Days:**
  * **Mining Output:** 100%
  * **Withdrawable Portion:** 100%
  * **Early Withdrawal Redistribution:**
    * Destroyed: 0%
    * Returned to Mining Reward Pool: 0%

#### Mining Reward Release

Node holders participate in network computing tasks by running nodes to earn mining rewards.

* **Nodes purchased before the TGE will receive a ONE TIME airdrop reward**
* Mining rewards account for **22.5% of the total token supply** and are released linearly each year.

This structure ensures fair distribution and prevents excessive early withdrawals.
