Node Sale Tiers

What are the sales types available within each tier?

Each tier offers tranche-based Full Core nodes through Datagram’s official website on a first-come, first-served basis at a fixed price.

Sales types by tier:

  • Tier 1 (Standard): Full Core nodes without Capsules or Datagram Prime Membership benefits.

  • Tier 2 (Enhanced): Full Core nodes that include Capsules which enhance reward output over time.

  • Tier 3 (Prime): Full Core nodes that include both Capsules and Datagram Prime Membership for one year.

All purchases are subject to eligibility verification and governed by the Full Core Node Agreement.

What is a Capsule?

A Capsule is an NFT that represents ownership rights to a specific allocation of locked $DGRAM tokens. Unlike traditional vesting schedules that are tied solely to a wallet or smart contract, the Capsule is designed for flexibility, allowing you to hold, transfer, or burn it to claim vested $DGRAM tokens.

How do Capsules work?

  • Issuance and Allocation: Each Capsule is linked to a specific token allocation and a 12-month vesting schedule. 10% of the allocated $DGRAM tokens unlock at mainnet launch and become immediately available for claim. The remaining 90% of $DGRAM tokens vest on a daily, linear basis over the subsequent 12 months. All nodes within a tier designated to receive a Capsule will be issued the corresponding Capsule for their respective tier and tranche.

  • Eligibility and Node Operation: To redeem and burn a Capsule, the wallet holding the Capsule must be operating a qualifying Full Core node license for a minimum of 100 hours. The claim option will only become available once this operational threshold is met. If the Capsule is transferred to a non-eligible wallet or the node becomes inactive, the requirement must still be fulfilled before redemption can occur.

  • Claiming: Holders may claim unlocked and vested $DGRAM tokens at any time. If a Capsule is redeemed (burned) before the completion of the 12-month vesting schedule, any unlocked and vested $DGRAM tokens up to the date of redemption will be claimable by the wallet holding the capsule. Any unvested $DGRAM tokens at the time of redemption are not claimable and are subject to redistribution and burn mechanisms described below.

  • Redistribution and Burn Mechanism: Upon early redemption, 50% of any unvested $DGRAM tokens are permanently removed from the allocation pool (burned) and the remaining 50% are proportionally redistributed to other active Capsules. This mechanism is intended to encourage longer-term participation and support ecosystem sustainability.

  • Transferability: Capsules may be transferred to third parties, subject to applicable terms and conditions. Any recipient of a transferred Capsule assumes full ownership of its value including both vested and unvested tokens as well as the remaining vesting schedule and all associated eligibility requirements.
