2. **Task Allocation:**
- The Nodle app connects to IoT devices and securely transfers data from Bluetooth to LTE to the company that owns the device.
3. **Execution & Payment:**
- Jobs run on distributed nodes, with results validated via blockchain. Payments in $NODL are automated through smart contracts.
## Staking
- **Staking Requirements:** Minimum of 10,000 NODL tokens to become a validator.
- **Rewards:** Validators earn a percentage of transaction fees and block rewards.
- **Staking Requirements:**
- Staking is not a technical necessity as long as Nodle is operating a parachain on Polkadot.
- **Rewards:**
- **Block Rewards:** Distributed to stakers based on their contribution to network security.
- **Slashing:** Malicious actors lose staked $NODL, ensuring network integrity.
## Tokenomics
- **Total Supply:** 7.36B
- **Distribution:**
- 60% allocated as network rewards, 24% to the treasury under control of the Nodle governance council of token holders, and the remaining for other purposes.
