RWA Tokenization: PowerNode’s Innovative DePIN Model
PowerNode's groundbreaking RWA-tokenization model revolutionizes the way decentralized infrastructure assets are monetized and accessed. This unique approach offers cost reductions for AI developers, greater financial flexibility for DePIN asset owners, and opportunities for passive income for non-asset owners. By integrating tokenized real-world assets into the DePIN ecosystem, PowerNode creates a win-win model for all stakeholders.
Key Goals of PowerNode’s RWA Tokenization Model
Lower Costs for AI Developers: Reduce the cost burden of procuring physical infrastructure like GPUs, TPUs, CPUs, and cloud storage.
Flexible Monetization for DePIN Asset Owners: Enable asset owners to choose between upfront capital, long-term income, or a mix of both.
Passive Income Opportunities: Allow non-asset owners to earn by investing in fractionalized RWA tokens.
How PowerNode’s RWA Tokenization Works
Step-by-Step Process
Connecting the Asset Alice owns a DePIN asset (e.g., a GPU) and connects it to the PowerNode network, enabling it to participate in the decentralized infrastructure.
Minting the RWA Token PowerNode mints an RWA ERC-1155 token representing Alice’s asset. Ownership of the RWA token is transferred to Alice, making her the primary beneficiary of the asset's future earnings.
Service User Rental Payments AI developers who need infrastructure rent Alice’s GPU capacity by paying a Service User Rental Fee in $PNODE tokens.
Revenue Distribution The profits generated from the Service User Rental Fees are automatically sent to a contract associated with the RWA ERC-1155 token. Initially, Alice retains 100% of the rental profits.
Fractionalized Token Sales After the asset begins generating revenue, Alice can choose to sell fractional shares of the RWA token to passive income-seeking investors. These investors gain a proportional share of the rental income generated by the asset.
Upfront Capital for Asset Owners For instance, Alice sells 50% of her RWA to Kevin, 25% to Sarah, and retains 25% ownership. Kevin and Sarah pay an RWA Purchase Fee in ETH or USDT, incentivizing Alice with immediate capital in exchange for a proportional share of future income.
Revenue Sharing Once fractional shares are sold, the rental income is distributed proportionally among RWA token holders. For example, in this scenario:
Alice: Receives 25% of the rental income.
Kevin: Receives 50%.
Sarah: Receives 25%.
Service User Rebate Fund PowerNode takes a 20% commission on RWA Purchase Fees and deposits it into a Service User Rebate Fund. The fund is invested in low-risk, yield-bearing strategies (e.g., DAI savings, US treasury strategies) to generate additional income. The yields from the fund are used to provide rebates for AI developers, lowering their rental costs.
Protocol Fee on Rentals In addition to the RWA commission, PowerNode charges a 2% protocol fee on all Service User Rental Payments and RWA Purchase Fees, ensuring the sustainability and growth of the ecosystem.
How the Model Benefits All Stakeholders
For DePIN Asset Owners
Flexible Monetization: Choose between upfront capital from RWA sales or steady rental income—or a mix of both.
Adaptable Strategy: Adjust monetization strategies over time based on evolving financial needs.
For AI Developers
Reduced Costs: Rebates from the Service User Rebate Fund significantly reduce the cost of renting DePIN infrastructure.
Reliable Resources: Access high-quality, vetted infrastructure assets optimized for enterprise-grade performance.
For Passive Income Seekers
Revenue Diversification: Earn rental income from fractionalized shares of DePIN assets without owning physical infrastructure.
Accessible Investment: Open up DePIN earning opportunities to anyone seeking passive income streams.
For PowerNode
Sustainable Revenue Streams: Earn fees from both rental payments and RWA token sales, ensuring long-term profitability.
Asset Expansion: Use RWA token sales to fund the acquisition of new DePIN assets, creating a self-reinforcing growth loop.
Key Advantages of PowerNode’s RWA Tokenization Model
Dual Revenue Model PowerNode generates income from both Service User Rental Payments and RWA token sales, creating a diverse and sustainable revenue base.
Capital Efficiency By leveraging the Service User Rebate Fund, PowerNode reduces costs for AI developers while maintaining profitability.
Broader Accessibility Fractional ownership opens the DePIN ecosystem to a wider range of participants, promoting decentralization and increasing capital inflows.
Scalable Growth The upfront capital generated by RWA token sales accelerates the acquisition of new assets, ensuring PowerNode’s ecosystem scales efficiently.
