Simple Summary

The VolumeFi Software Team proposes to launch a Paloma Node Sale with 1 Billion GRAINs from the Paloma Foundation treasury. The Paloma LightNode Sale aims to expand the Paloma community by providing delegator software that will be run to delegate stakes across the network of validators. Increasing stake and security will allow Paloma to scale TVL and transaction volume with added security demanded to manage larger relay volumes.

The Paloma Foundation’s multi-sig wallet will manage funds from the node sale.

The Paloma Nodesale will be hosted on Paloma’s website at https://palomafoundation.com/nodesale

Motivation

  1. Distribute GRAINs from the Paloma treasury into staking applications on the network.
  2. Increase GRAIN rewards to Paloma validators
  3. Incentivize new validators to join the Paloma flock
  4. Establish Paloma Light Node for future development
  5. Increase relay volumes on the Paloma network

Specification Overview

The Paloma Foundation will transfer 1 Billion Grains from the treasury wallets to the LightNode Sale Module, which will distribute GRAINS to registered license purchasers.

Technical Specification

1 Billion GRAINs will be transferred from Paloma Foundation addresses paloma17t5pd5l0d8a3p54r0p92src8tx2tvs7l2afmd9 and paloma1vlrsw0hf6ddkje99jtnzh4raaa4dqpwqapeaz6 to Paloma module managing the LightNode Sale.

GRAINs will be minted on registered Paloma LightNode sale licenses. Each license will mint GRAINs over two years, linearly per block.

Rationale

With the launch of Pigeon Feed, the Paloma network will be ready to grow the flock. To attract new community members, Paloma will offer a security application called the Paloma Light Node. The Light Node will allow purchasers to secure the Paloma network and receive GRAINs in reward for their active staking, voting, and redelegating of stakes.
