• What are NEM Supernodes?

  Supernodes are high performance blockchain nodes which form the backbone of the NEM blockchain network. Accounts with 3,000,000 or more XEM can operate a supernode, either from a local computer or from a cloud-hosted server. Supernodes are required to be up and running 24 hours per day, processing all transactions.

• Which network metrics do the rewards depend on?

  The individual NEM harvesting rewards depends on the Daily Network Rewards and Total Staked.

  Every block one staker is randomly selected whereas 1 staked coin counts as one “lottery ticket”. The selected staker has the right to create a new block and broadcast it to the network. He then receives the the fees of all transactions successfully included in this block.

   

  The current additional reward for Supernodes is 140,000 XEM per day.
