# Changes to Payout Rules for Nodes

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Changes to Payout Rules for Operating Nodes in Japan, Brazil, Thailand, and Vietnam**
{% endhint %}

Due to the recent frequent offline issues of nodes in Japan, Brazil, Thailand, and Vietnam, significant gaps in customer resource demand have suddenly occurred, affecting the onboarding of other resources. As a result, we are adjusting the payout rules for nodes in these regions.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience these changes may cause and appreciate your understanding. We earnestly hope that you will continue operating your node to secure stable earnings.

**Updated Payout Rules:**

1. **Earnings Distribution:** Payouts will only be issued once the total operating time reaches 7 days.
2. **Earnings Lock-up:** Earnings for the most recent 7 days will be locked. Only days with a minimum of 2 hours of operation will count toward the 7-day requirement.

**Supplementary Detailed Explanation:**

* If your total operating time has not yet reached 7 days, your earnings will be locked and not distributed.
* The earnings from the most recent 7 days will remain locked, 
  * On **Day 8**: 60% of **Day 1** earnings will be released (remaining 40% stays in Lockup Pool);
  * On Day 9: 60% of Day 2 earnings will be distributed;
  * \[...] This pattern continues daily thereafter.
* Each day is counted only if your node has operated for at least 2 hours. If the operating time is less than 2 hours on a given day, that day will not be counted until the required operating time is met, after which payouts will commence.
