frequently asked questions

Answers to Your Distrix Questions

Find clear, concise answers about Distrix, decentralized computing, staking, and building on DSTX.

1. What is Distrix Blockchain?

Distrix is a high-throughput PoW blockchain (Ethash) with decentralized computing capabilities, fixed token supply, and a smart halving mechanism for long-term sustainability.

2. What is the total supply of DSTX tokens?

Distrix has a fixed total supply of 100,000,000 DSTX, ensuring long-term scarcity and value.

3. What is the block time and reward structure?

Each block is mined every 13 seconds, and block rewards start at 1.00 DSTX, distributed across mining (15%), staking (50%), liquidity (30%), and development fund (5%).

4. How does the "Diminishing-Yearly" halving work?

Unlike Bitcoin's 4-year halving, Distrix gradually reduces block rewards by 12.5% per year, resulting in smooth and predictable scarcity over ~100 years.

5. Why is miner sell pressure low in Distrix?

Miners only receive 15% of the total block reward, while 85% is allocated to stakers, LPs, and developers—reducing sell pressure and encouraging long-term holding.

6. How much does it cost to run a Contributor Node?

Each node requires a $110 license fee and a minimum stake of 50 DSTX, which is locked for 3 months.

7. How do node operators earn DSTX tokens?

Operators earn from:
• Hosting Rewards: Fixed portion of the staking pool.
• Staking Rewards: Proportional to their staked DSTX.

8. How often are rewards distributed to node operators?

Rewards are distributed daily, combining both hosting and staking incentives.

9. What is the break-even period for node operators?

With the dynamic reward decay mechanism and optimal pricing, nodes typically break even in 7–8 months.

10. How does the Node Reward Decay System work?

Hosting rewards decrease by 1% each month, while staking rewards remain stable to ensure sustainability and fairness.

11. What is the Distrix Decentralized Computing Layer?

It's a peer-to-peer computing marketplace where users rent out or buy unused CPU/GPU power for tasks like AI training, CGI rendering, and simulations.

12. What do I need to become a computing provider?

A Linux machine (x86-64) with nested virtualization enabled. You'll need to install compatible Distrix software and configure resource sharing.

13. How do providers earn from the computing layer?

By accepting and completing tasks from requestors. Earnings are based on resource use, time spent, and pricing set by the provider.

14. Why might I not be receiving tasks as a provider?

It could be due to:
• High pricing compared to others
• Low demand on the network
• Misconfigured or offline node

15. What types of tasks are supported by the computing layer?

Supported tasks include machine learning jobs, 3D rendering, simulations, and any resource-heavy workloads suitable for decentralized execution.
