Shift: Financial Whitepaper

This paper will present the academic findings of our research collaboration for developing Shift’s smart revenue model, both in terms of the methodology that was used and the economic results that will be yielded by our finalized parameter values. This paper’s intended audience includes the hosts of delegates and storage nodes, as it will give these individuals the tools needed for calculating the potential side-income which can be generated by hosting a node. Our aim is to offer transparency of all expenses for all mechanisms involved in the network.
