What is NodeOps?

NodeOps Network is an AI-driven, chain-agnostic DePIN orchestration layer designed to provide verifiable decentralized computing services. Founded in 2023, it secured significant funding led by L1 Digital and Finality Capital. The network uses a dynamic “burn-and-mint” model tied to protocol usage: users convert $NODE into credits for computing services—burning the tokens—while providers earn revenue and the protocol mints new tokens based on economic activity. The $NODE token aligns incentives between users, providers, and protocol operations. Distribution allocates 47.5% to community/airdrop, 22.5% to early backers, 15% for incentives, and 15% for contributors, with emissions capped at 186,529 $NODE daily.
