01 / INTRODUCTION

Tempo Nodes Documentation

Tempo Nodes is an experimental passive income protocol built on the Tempo network. The product is intentionally simple: users create nodes with $TNODE, receive daily emissions, and interact with a treasury-backed system designed to support ongoing protocol operations.

[001] Tempo Nodes Documentation

This documentation explains how nodes work, how rewards are produced, how protocol funds are routed, and where the project may evolve next. Tempo Nodes should be understood as an experimental DeFi system, not a fixed-yield promise or a risk-free product.

The design goal is clarity. Users should be able to understand the core loop quickly: create a node, track emissions, claim or compound, and evaluate protocol changes as the ecosystem matures.

02 / FUNDAMENTALS

What is a Node?

Within Tempo Nodes, a node is a protocol position purchased with $TNODE that generates ongoing token emissions over time. In DeFi, the word node is often used more loosely than in traditional infrastructure contexts; here it refers to a reward-bearing on-chain product rather than a validator or server instance.

[002] What is a Node?

Once a node is created, the action is permanent. In return, the node begins producing rewards according to the active emission model. Those rewards can be claimed, compounded, or held depending on user strategy and protocol conditions.

A simple ROI example: if a node costs 10 tokens and emits 1 token per day, the initial capital is recovered in 10 days. In practice, ROI can change as emissions, taxes, market price, and treasury policy evolve.

When a user creates a Tempo Node, the protocol does not just mint rewards for that wallet. Part of the creation flow also funds the broader system, helping support the rewards pool, treasury, development, and liquidity management.

03 / MECHANICS

Tempo Node System

Tempo Nodes is structured around a fixed creation cost, capped node ownership per wallet, and a staged reward schedule that starts aggressively and then tapers to a lower long-term emission rate.

[003] Tempo Node System

Each Tempo Node costs 10 $TNODE to create, and each wallet can hold a maximum of 100 nodes. This keeps participation simple while still placing a clear ceiling on concentration at the wallet level.

The system is experimental, so parameters may be adjusted if treasury health, market behavior, or protocol stability require it. Any material change should be communicated clearly to the community before it becomes operational.

Once a node has been created, it cannot be reversed or redeemed back into its original principal.

04 / UTILITY

Booster NFTs

Booster NFTs are optional utility assets that expand what a node owner can do inside the Tempo Nodes ecosystem.

[004] Booster NFTs

A booster can be used to add targeted advantages to an existing node position. Depending on the release, those advantages may include reward boosts, tax adjustments, free node creation rights, or access to future utility layers.

At launch, the plan is to make one Booster NFT available one week after protocol deployment. This first booster is designed to add 0.25 $TNODE in daily rewards and allow the holder to bypass the claim tax.

Wallets can hold a maximum of 5 Booster NFTs, and a user must own at least the same number of Tempo Nodes as boosters held. That rule is meant to ensure the NFT layer amplifies node participation instead of replacing it.

05 / ECONOMICS

Tokenomics

Tempo Nodes tokenomics are built around a simple launch structure: fixed opening liquidity, a large emissions reserve, and node creation flows that route value back into protocol support buckets.

[005] Tokenomics

Token: $TNODE.

Network: Tempo.

Initial liquidity is planned as 10,000 $TNODE paired with 10,000 PathUSD, setting an opening reference price of $1 per token. Total supply is 20,000,000 tokens, with the primary emissions reserve held in the rewards pool.

Each node creation costs 10 $TNODE. That amount is split 50% to the rewards pool, 20% to the treasury, 20% to development, and 10% to liquidity.

These percentages are not treated as untouchable forever. As the protocol matures, allocation may shift to favor treasury strength over development spend if that produces better long-term stability.

Liquidity is intended to be locked for 1 year, and a contract audit is planned shortly after launch once protocol funding is available.

06 / SALE

Presale

The Tempo Nodes presale is live. It opened on March 29, 2026 at 12:00 UTC and is scheduled to close on April 5, 2026 at 12:00 UTC.

[006] Presale

During the presale, participants can buy $TNODE directly with supported stablecoins through the presale page or the agent API. Purchased tokens are delivered instantly to the beneficiary wallet.

The presale pricing reference is 1 $TNODE = 1 stable. Wallet purchase limits and live presale progress are enforced on-chain by the presale contract.

Once the presale ends, the plan is to move into public market trading with a listing on EnshrinedDEX. That listing is intended to follow the presale close rather than run in parallel with it.

07 / AGENTS

Agent API

Tempo Nodes now exposes an MPP-compatible agent surface so autonomous clients can quote presale buys, pay over Machine Payments Protocol, and complete presale or node creation flows in a single HTTP action.

[007] Agent API

The presale agent routes accept a beneficiary address and route the received stablecoin payment through a service wallet before calling the presale contract. The beneficiary receives the purchased $TNODE directly.

The node creation route works the same way: the agent pays TNODE over MPP, the service wallet receives that TNODE, and the node manager creates nodes for the beneficiary wallet instead of the service wallet.

This flow depends on the updated contracts that support buyFor and createNodesFor. If you redeploy from this repo, agents can participate without relying on an injected browser wallet.

08 / DELIVERY

Roadmap

The roadmap is execution-focused. Tempo Nodes is being positioned as an experimental protocol, so the objective is not to promise endless features up front but to ship in phases that the team can actually support.

[008] Roadmap

Phase 1 focuses on presale execution, token launch preparation, whitelist distribution, the EnshrinedDEX listing after presale close, post-launch marketing, initial treasury activity, and the first wave of node creation.

Phase 2 expands the operating layer. Planned items include an audit, node-holder raffles, team growth, broader community activity, and the first Booster NFT release once the base system is stable.

Phase 3 is about ecosystem expansion. That includes deeper liquidity work, a potential multi-chain initiative, additional NFT utility, and more advanced product layers if the protocol is healthy enough to support them.

As with the rest of the docs, the roadmap should be treated as directional rather than immutable. Experimental protocols need room to adapt.
