# Node Rewards

## **Verifier Node Rewards**

Verifier node operators will receive token rewards for their contributions to the network’s operation and security (data privacy protection). 

Up to **25%** of the total supply will be provided to verifier node operators in **4 years**. Emission adopts a release model of 25% reduction every 6 months.

{% hint style="info" %}
&#x20;It is expected to release about 50% token in the first year.
{% endhint %}

**Note: This is not a token sale. See** [**https://carv.io/node-disclaimer**](https://carv.io/node-disclaimer) **for more details.**

CARV Foundation is committed to compliance. Participants will receive $veCARV instead of receiving native token directly and convert it to $CARV through redemption, then claim the rewards.

Check [here ](/carv-token/utility.md)for more details about $veCARV and $CARV converting.
