What is a Masternode?
A Masternode is a special server in the PIVX network that helps process transactions, secure the blockchain, and gives its owner 1 vote in the DAO for governance decisions. To run a Masternode, you must lock 10,000 PIVX as collateral. In return, you earn continuous rewards in PIVX.
Formula 1 (Annual Percentage Return – APR):
APR = (Total yearly rewards per MN ÷ 10,000) × 100%
Since the network produces 1410 blocks per day × 6 PIVX = 8,460 PIVX/day, these rewards are shared equally among all Masternodes (N).
Example: If there are 2000 Masternodes, each one gets 8460 ÷ 2000 = 4.23 PIVX/day
.
Formula 2 (Time between payouts):
Days between payouts = N ÷ 1410
Masternodes are paid one after another in sequence, so the higher the total number (N), the longer the waiting time until your turn comes again.
