STRONG

StrongBlock was founded in July 2018 by CEO David Moss, an LA-based blockchain entrepreneur with three decades of experience as CTO, CEO, and founder of various tech-related companies.

He is supported by CTO Brian Abramson, a systems administrator, and developer with almost two decades of experience. Abramson previously was the VP of Infrastructure for Block.one, a blockchain company related to EOS.

The third member of the executive team is CPO Corey Lederer, an expert for enterprise blockchains and cryptocurrencies. Lederer was the former Senior Director at Block.one and has two decades of experience in leadership positions at companies like Nike.

StrongBlock offers nodes that support the Ethereum network and can be either purchased as a service or brought by users themselves. Although over 350 nodes have been registered for rewards by the community, nodes-as-a-service is the protocol's key value proposition deemed interesting to most users.

Anyone can "rent" a node that StrongBlock hosts and maintains. Users that want to bring their own node have to contribute 10 STRONG to the community, which are used as follows:

• 10% are reserved for future use.
• 10% are allocated to rewards in STRONG-ETH and LINK-STRONG liquidity pools.
• 20% go to the StrongPool for rewards
• 60% are allocated to node rewards.

Whether owned or rented by STRONG holders, all nodes are rewarded daily. Furthermore, nodes can receive rewards by signaling for a node, with both the node and the signaler receiving the reward. Each mined STRONG entitles the miner to signal one node. Mining rewards for STRONG tokens were reduced after the tokenomics changed and are based on elapsed Ethereum blocks, resulting in much lower gas fees.

This system enables the protocol's Node Universal Basic Income (NUBI). The STRONG earned through NUBI is used to govern the protocol and regulate the community's contributions per node, the level of monthly maintenance fees (currently $14.95), burning STRONG for NFTs, and more. In the future, the protocol plans to issue NFTs in addition to its native token as a reward.

STRONG is the protocol's governance token. In November 2020, StrongBlock decided to update its tokenomics and burn 94% of the original 10 million STRONG. The new total supply of STRONG is 535,000, with a current circulating supply of 138,000. This decision led to a massive surge in the token price from under $50 to an all-time high of almost $1,200. The token serves as a reward for the node operators running on Ethereum and as a means to vote in the protocol's governance.

The token distribution is as follows:

• 330,365.57 STRONG are for Community rewards for nodes and miners directly supporting the protocol
• 96,784.62 STRONG are for Shareholders of StrongBlock, creators of the StrongBlock DeFi protocol
• 101,735.81 STRONG are for the Team (developers of the protocol)
• 0 STRONG is allocated to StrongBlock

With this tokenomics change, the team switches to a low-inflation model that emphasizes node participation and pushes the number of nodes from the hundreds to the thousands.

STRONG is available on KuCoin, Gate.io, Bitrue, Hoo, and Uniswap (V2).
