Roadmap

Blocknode: A decentralized network powered by $LMWR

Blocknode is on a clear path to becoming a fully decentralized network, where all economic flows and key governance processes are transparent and on-chain. In its mature form, every payment within the ecosystem, from Blocknode users to DAO members and Storage Providers, will be conducted in the $LMWR utility token, with the Blocknode smart contract managing the full payment lifecycle openly on the blockchain. Strategic decisions, such as onboarding new node operators, will be determined by the Blocknode DAO, a governance body composed of node operators, the founding team, and core contributors. To enable this, Blocknode will introduce a dedicated governance token that serves as the DAO’s voting mechanism, ensuring that each member has proportional influence over critical network matters. DAO participants will also have the opportunity to earn $LMWR rewards based on their governance token holdings, provided they actively contribute to and engage with the Blocknode network.

Blocknode is natively powered by the LimeWire Token (LMWR), which serves three critical functions:

  1. Blocknode Users: Pre-pay for storage and bandwidth in LMWR tokens to fund the Blocknode smart contract.
  2. Blocknode DAO: Participants (Node operators, Founders and Development Team) receive a small incentive in LMWR tokens based on their Governance Token holdings, in order to maintain and operate the Blocknode systems.
  3. Storage Providers: Providers must stake LMWR to join the network, and slashing applies for SLA violations. Once joined, they receive LMWR tokens based on the performance and usage of their infrastructure.

Blocknode extends the utility of LMWR beyond LimeWire into the infrastructure layer, reinforcing its long-term value and relevance. Exact details on DAO participation and the issuance of the Blocknode governance token will be released throughout 2026.
