- Months 1-3 : 75% of Storage Node revenue is withheld, 25% is paid to the Storage Node Operator
- Months 4-6 : 50% of Storage Node revenue is withheld, 50% is paid to the Storage Node Operator
- Months 7-9 : 25% of Storage Node revenue is withheld, 75% is paid to the Storage Node Operator
- Months 10-15 : 100% of Storage Node revenue is paid to the storage node operator
- Month 16 : 50% of total withholdings are returned to Storage Node Operator, with the remaining 50% held until the node gracefully exits the network
The withholding model is designed to incentivize and reward both-long term reliable Storage Nodes as well as Nodes that, when they do choose to leave the network, exit in a way that is least damaging to the network.
