What does the NFT represent?
The NFT is the on-chain representation of your Autheo node license. Its tier determines the license’s reward rate and the role it can be used for. Sovereign licenses are used by validator operators, while Prime and Core licenses are used for delegation.
License reward tiers
NFT emission rewards are determined by the license tier. The values below are the default annual emission amounts for each license tier.Per-block reward formula
With a 5-second block time, there are approximately 6,307,200 blocks per year (31,536,000 ÷ 5).Remainder carry mechanism
To prevent truncation losses from integer arithmetic, the system carries remainders across blocks:newRemainder is stored in the x/emissions KV store and added to the next block’s calculation.
Global emissions cap
The default cap is 7 billion THEO (7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 aauth). Once reached, no community or NFT rewards are minted. Staking inflation from x/mint is not counted against this cap.
Eligibility
A license earns NFT/license rewards only while it is actively participating in the network. All of the following conditions must be met:- Status is
LICENSE_STATUS_ACTIVE - A binding record exists
- The bound validator is not jailed
- A delegation record exists with positive token value (dust shares excluded)
Unbinding and rewards: A license that is no longer ACTIVE or no longer meets the eligibility conditions does not qualify for NFT/license rewards. Review the rewards and unstaking guide before unbinding a license.
