# Green Node Program

**What is GreenBTC.Club Green Node?**

A **Green Node** represents a specific zone within the GreenBTC.Club map, each containing some volume of Bitcoin blocks that require tokenized renewable energy certificate kWh to offset their historical brown energy consumption. To own a node, you must purchase between **20% to 50%** of all renewable energy certificates kWh needed to green that zone.

* **Node Ownership**: By purchasing enough kWh, you secure your position as a **Green Node Holder**, making you an active participant for on-chain climate action in Bitcoin’s green transformation.
* **Ownership Proportion**: The amount of kWh purchased determines your share of the node. Your reward corresponds directly to the percentage of kWh you purchased.

**The Value of GreenBTC.Club Green Nodes**

As a **Green Node Holder**, you unlock multiple benefits:

1. **Greening Rewards**: For every green activiy carried out by community memebers in your node’s zone, you earn **points** based on your ownership percentage. The rewards pool is distributed daily according to your total accumulated points.
2. **Revenue from Derivative Products**: In addition to greening rewards, you also receive a **share of the revenue** generated from the partnerships related to your node zone. This includes brand collaborations and more.
   1. Your share of the revenue is **1.2 times** your ownership percentage.
   2. For example, if you owned 20% of the node, you would receive **24%** of the income from derivative products. If you own 50%, you will receive **60%**.
   3. The **GreenBTC.Club Treasury** collects **10%** of this secondary income, with the remainder distributed among the community climate actors based on their greening contribution in this area.

**Node Staking Requirement**

After the **Token Generation Event (TGE)**, node holders will need to stake a certain number of tokens to maintain their node ownership status and unlock more benefits. More detailed rules will come soon.
