💼Certification Rewards

HydraNode Crypto Staking Program:

  1. Token Acquisition:

    • Upon successfully completing a certification through HydraNode, professionals are awarded HydraNode tokens. The amount of tokens received depends on the level of certification achieved, with higher-level certifications yielding greater token rewards.

  2. Staking Process:

    • Users can choose to stake their earned tokens within the HydraNode platform. Staking involves locking up a certain amount of tokens in a smart contract on the blockchain, which helps to secure the network and validate transactions.

  3. Tiered Reward System:

    • The staking rewards are tiered based on the certification level, with higher certification levels attracting higher staking reward percentages. This incentivizes users to pursue advanced certifications and engage more deeply with the HydraNode ecosystem.

Certification Rewards and duration for these rewards are based on Subscription type and certifications cleared. Below are the details.

    • Lifetime Plan: Staking and rewards continue for up to 3 years.

ROI Based on Price Fluctuations:

The ROI is influenced by the change in the value of the HYD tokens. The ROI can be calculated using the following equation:

ROI=(InitialInvestment×(1+APY100)NumberofMonths12)×CurrentTokenPriceInitialTokenPriceROI=(InitialInvestment×(1+100APY​)12NumberofMonths​)×InitialTokenPriceCurrentTokenPrice​ROI=(Initial Investment×(1+APY100)Number of Months12)×Current Token PriceInitial Token PriceROI=(Initial Investment×(1+100APY​)12Number of Months​)×Initial Token PriceCurrent Token Price​

Where:

  • Initial Investment is the subscription fee.

  • APY is the Annual Percentage Yield based on certifications.

  • Number of Months is the duration for which the investment is staked.

  • Initial Token Price is the price of HYD tokens at the time of staking.

  • Current Token Price is the price of HYD tokens at the time of calculating ROI.

Example Scenarios:

  1. User A subscribes to the 3-month plan and pays $50.

    • Completes 1 Associate certification: Earns 10% APY.

    • Initial Token Price: $1

    • Current Token Price after 3 months: $1.20

    • ROI Calculation:

    • Initial Token Price: $5

    • Current Token Price after 3 years: $6

    • ROI Calculation:

      ROI=(200×(1+65100)3)×65=200×4.74×1.20=1137.60ROI=(200×(1+10065​)3)×56​=200×4.74×1.20=1137.60ROI=(200×(1+65100)3)×65=200×4.74×1.20=1137.60ROI=(200×(1+10065​)3)×56​=200×4.74×1.20=1137.60

    • Completes 1 Professional certification: Earns 20% APY (total 32% APY).

    • Initial Token Price: $2

    • Current Token Price after 1 year: $200 (100x increase)

    • User E earns $13200 worth of HYD tokens due to the 100x increase in token price.

Summary:

This model provides a clear incentive structure for users to engage with the learning system and complete certifications to maximize their APY and thus their earnings. By linking the APY directly to the number and type of certifications completed, users are motivated to progress through the certification levels. The ROI equation accounts for price fluctuations in the HYD tokens, allowing users to potentially earn more if the token value increases. This includes scenarios where the token price experiences significant gains, illustrating the substantial potential returns in such cases. This includes moderate increases (e.g., 10x) and extreme increases (e.g., 100x), showing how parabolic price rises can lead to exceptional returns.
