Mastering the nNFT Boost Mechanism
What is the nNFT Boost?
The nNFT Boost is a native feature that allows nNFT holders to increase the efficiency of their nodes. By committing a specific amount of BXN, you can optimize rewards, reduce validator fees, and gain greater strategic control over your node assets.
What are the main benefits of the nNFT Boost?
The Boost mechanism is based on two key performance levers:
Reduced Validator Fees
By boosting your nNFT, you can reduce the validator commission on production rewards by up to 50%.
Extended Production Cap
Boosting allows you to extend your nNFT production cap and reward claim period by up to 2x the default duration.
Why is extending the Production Cap important?
By default, nNFTs have a production and claim period of 4,000,000 blocks. Any unclaimed rewards beyond this limit are automatically burned.
By extending the cap to up to 8,000,000 blocks, you gain:
A significantly larger window to claim rewards
Greater flexibility in managing your nodes
Reduced risk of losing unclaimed BXN
This provides additional security and peace of mind for long-term strategies.
How much BXN are required to activate the Boost?
The required BXN amount depends on the weight of your nNFT:
Each node can be boosted with up to 0.25× of its weight in BXN
Example:
An nNFT with a weight of 1,000,000 BXN can be fully boosted using 250,000 BXN
Are the Boost benefits fixed or adjustable?
The Boost works on a linear scale, allowing flexible customization based on how much BXN you commit:
| Boost Level | Validator Fee Reduction | Production Cap |
|---|---|---|
| 0% | 0% | 1× (4,000,000 blocks) |
| 50% | 25% | 1.5× (6,000,000 blocks) |
| 100% | 50% | 2× (8,000,000 blocks) |
You can choose any level between 0% and 100%, depending on your strategy.
What happens to the BXN used for the Boost?
The committed BXN is transferred to a smart contract. These tokens may:
Be used to replenish staking or growth-incentive contracts
Be burned, permanently reducing the circulating supply
The final usage is determined through governance decisions.
Summary: Why should I use the nNFT Boost?
Using the Boost turns nNFT ownership from a passive setup into active, strategic management. It helps you:
Increase net rewards by lowering validator fees
Protect rewards by extending the claim period
Contribute to ecosystem sustainability and potential token scarcity
The nNFT Boost is a powerful tool for users who want to maximize efficiency and long-term value.
