According to official news, the decentralized AI infrastructure project Nodepay announced that it will launch its first airdrop on January 14.
According to official documents, the native token NC has multiple functions: First, as a means of payment for network services, users can use NC to pay for real-time data acquisition (Node Collect), AI crawlers, search queries (Node Search) and other service fees; Second, staking rewards - users can stake NC at validator nodes to earn income; Thirdly, ecosystem governance - token holders can participate in proposal voting and decide on partner introductions and incentive mechanisms.
In terms of network costs, although customers and AI companies can use tokens such as USD or USDC for payment, all revenues will eventually be converted into NC and distributed proportionally among bandwidth node operators, validators and other ecosystem participants. To ensure network security, validators need to stake NC tokens. If malicious behavior is detected they will be penalized.
