# Node Feedback Model

To enhance the cooperative relationship between sub networks and leader nodes, OpenDAO has established the Node Feedback Model: when a direct child node deposits fresh VN into the BarkX Main Pool, the leader node automatically receives a certain percentage of feedback rewards.

* **Reward form**: the BARKX ERC-20 token.
* **Computation basis**: the amount of BARKX bonus gifted to the direct child node in the BarkX Main Pool.
* **Feedback direction**: direct child nodes provide feedback rewards to their immediate leader nodes.
* **Feedback ratio**: the higher the leader's own tier, the higher the feedback ratio (see **Node Diffusion Model**).
* **Distribution time**: each day after 00:00 UTC, when all nodes pass the upgrade check, OpenDAO distributes the feedback rewards.
* **Node state**: only nodes BarkX certifies as active can claim feedback rewards. Inactive nodes still accumulate feedback rewards every day; the rewards are unlocked for claiming once the node returns to active status.

> Active-node criteria as certified by BarkX: hold at least one 360-day position in the BarkX main pool. Positions that have unlocked but not yet been withdrawn also count.

## **Feedback Ratio Table**

On the 1st of every month, the feedback ratio is automatically adjusted once based on the average price of BARKX over the past month.

The table below shows the feedback ratios at the launch of the economic model, at which time the average price of BARKX is 1 USDT. Please refer to the actual ratios displayed in the dApp.

| Node Tier      | Feedback Ratio |
| -------------- | -------------- |
| Nova           | 0%             |
| Voyager        | 30%            |
| Navigator      | 40%            |
| Commander      | 60%            |
| Stellar Master | 90%            |

> For example, if Alice is a Voyager node, when Alice's direct child node Bob deposits fresh 1 VN, Bob immediately gets 100 BARKX bonus, while Alice will get 30 BARKX feedback the following day.
