How to earn

NetLink Protocol offers multiple avenues for users to earn rewards, primarily through contributing bandwidth as a validator, participating in airdrops, and leveraging the referral program.

1. Bandwidth Contribution

The primary way to earn from NetLink Protocol is by becoming a node validator and contributing your excess internet bandwidth to the network. To start, users need to purchase a node via our platform using Ethereum, follow the setup instructions provided, and connect their node to the NetLink Protocol network. Once the node is active, it begins contributing the user’s excess bandwidth to the network. This bandwidth is continuously monitored and tracked in real-time to ensure accuracy and performance. Validators earn $NLP tokens based on the volume of bandwidth they contribute and the duration of their participation. The reward system is designed to be proportional, so the more bandwidth you share and the longer you participate, the more $NLP tokens you will earn. Rewards are calculated periodically and distributed to validators, providing a steady stream of income.

2. Airdrop for Early Contributors

To incentivize early adoption and reward initial supporters, NetLink Protocol will conduct an airdrop of $NLP tokens. Users who join the network early and actively contribute as validators will be eligible for this airdrop. Early participation is crucial as it ensures your node is active and contributing bandwidth during the specified airdrop period. Up to 5% of the total token supply, amounting to 50 million $NLP tokens, is reserved for the airdrop. These tokens will be distributed among early contributors based on their level of participation and contribution. Eligible users will be notified and can claim their airdrop tokens through the platform. The distribution may occur in phases to ensure a fair and orderly process, rewarding those who support the network from its inception.

3. Referral Program

NetLink Protocol offers a lucrative referral program designed to encourage users to invite others to join the network as validators. Users can share their unique referral link with friends, colleagues, and network contacts, encouraging them to purchase nodes and become validators. When a new user purchases a node and becomes a validator using the referral link, the referrer earns a referral bonus. The referral program offers up to 20% in referral bonuses, meaning the referrer receives 20% of the new validator’s earnings for a specified period. This incentive structure not only rewards the referrer but also promotes network growth by bringing in new validators. Users can track their referrals and monitor the bonuses they earn through the platform’s dashboard, with referral bonuses added to their $NLP token balance for withdrawal or reinvestment.

4. Additional Earning Opportunities

Beyond the primary earning methods, there are additional opportunities for users to earn from NetLink Protocol. As $NLP token holders, users can participate in the governance of the protocol, proposing and voting on key decisions that shape the network’s future. Active participation in governance activities can also yield rewards, incentivizing users to engage in the decision-making process. Another opportunity is staking $NLP tokens, which helps secure the network and contributes to its stability. Stakers earn additional rewards for their contributions. Additionally, as the network grows, there may be opportunities to provide value-added services such as enhanced security, specialized bandwidth solutions, or consulting. These services can generate additional income streams for experienced validators and contributors, further enhancing the earning potential within the NetLink Protocol ecosystem.
