What is LNT Vault liquidity extraction?​

The LNT Vault gives you control over when and how you access your Node license rewards — breaking free from the slow drip of emissions and turning them into assets you can trade.

In many Initial Node Offering (INO) projects, when you buy a Node license (typically issued as an NFT), you gain the right to operate a Node (or delegate that right) and earn validator rewards gradually over time as the Node produces emissions. This creates a “locked” rewards system because you can’t access the full value you’ve purchased immediately, you earn it bit by bit as the network pays out over time.

The LNT (Liquid Node Token) Vault changes this by letting you deposit your Node license and receive two separate, tradable tokens:

  • VT (Vesting Token): Your right to the baseline guaranteed emissions from qualified Node operations

  • YT (Yield Token): Your right to any excess yield above the guaranteed portion

Both VT and YT can be traded, held, or integrated into DeFi markets so you can realize value from your license straight away.

Why use LNT Vault for liquidity extraction?​

  • Access value now: Convert future validator rewards into tradable rights today
  • Custom exposure: Keep VT for predictable returns, sell YT for upfront liquidity, or mix strategies to match your needs
  • No operational or financial burden: No need to run a Node yourself, or to subscribe to NodeOp's Node-as-a-Service model
  • Market-driven flexibility: Participate in secondary markets for VT and YT and respond to price trends.

Who is this LNT Vault for?​

  • INO buyers who want quicker liquidity than the standard gradual payout model
  • Institutions managing significant inventories of illiquid Node licenses.
