The NRG Economic Model 1 million NRG are released every month and divided between the Energi Treasury, Masternodes, Stakers, and Backbone. The breakdown of the allocations can be viewed below: 40% to the Energi Treasury 40% to Energi Masternodes 10% to Energi Stakers 10% to the Energi Backbone
TREASURY Energi’s treasury is self-funded. Funds from the treasury pay for product development, marketing, merchant adoption, and team growth.
MASTERNODES The primary role of masternodes is to provide stability for the network by validating transactions. Their secondary role is to provide governance by submitting and voting on proposals that dictate the long-term strategy and resource allocation for Energi. Masternode owners are awarded a larger portion of staking rewards as an incentive.
STAKING Staking enables users to ‘stake’ their NRG on the network; that is, to validate the transactions required to make a new block. Staking creates a simple, easy way for users to take advantage of the Proof of Stake mechanism and get rewarded for doing so.
BACKBONE Instead of issuing a pre-mine or holding an ICO, Energi’s founder chose to take distributed compensation over time. This ties his financial rewards from the project to Energi’s long-term success and sustainability.
