For Masternode Operators

Own the FlowKeep the SpreadSettle on Dash

Your masternode already secures the network. Dash Intents turns that same collateral into a revenue channel: you quote the trade, you keep the spread, and settlement lands on Dash Evolution instead of a chain you do not control.

No bridges. No wrapped assets. No intermediary custody.

The opportunity

Three ways an operator earns

Running a masternode is already a commitment of capital. Dash Intents puts that same capital to work on a second revenue path, with the pricing levers in your hands.

Quoting spread

You quote the rate. The gap between the input amount you accept and the output amount you deliver is yours. You set the ceiling with maxSpreadBps in the solver strategy, so your edge is a number you choose — not a rate handed to you by an external pool.

Tiered protocol fees

Protocol fees are charged in basis points on a published schedule that steps down as trade size grows: 15 bps to $1,000, 10 bps to $10,000, 7 bps to $100,000, and 5 bps above that. Each boundary falls into the first matching tier, so a $1,000 trade pays 15 bps.

Treasury allocation

A share of every settled intent flows to the builder treasury, and masternode operators allocate it to funded proposals. The balance and the proposal list are published on the treasury page — the spending decision sits with the operator set.

Fee schedule

Rates step down as size grows

Protocol fees are charged in basis points on a published schedule. Each boundary falls into the first matching tier, so a trade at exactly $1,000 pays 15 bps.

Trade value	Protocol fee	Equivalent
Up to $1,000	15 bps	0.15%
$1,000 – $10,000	10 bps	0.10%
$10,000 – $100,000	7 bps	0.07%
Above $100,000	5 bps	0.05%

Masternode revenue comes from the quoting spread and from treasury allocation. The protocol fee schedule above is separate from both.

Why not somewhere else

Route the flow through the network you secure

Third-party settlement networks accept your liquidity and hand the execution to their own validator set. Dash Intents keeps the operator in the loop at every stage.

Settlement lands on Dash Evolution

Elsewhere

Execution is owned by an external chain or validator set.

Dash Intents

Settlement lands on Dash Evolution, and the value stays in the Dash economy your masternode already secures.

You are the solver, not a supplier

Elsewhere

Liquidity is pooled and the operator's role is to hand assets over.

Dash Intents

Solvers are verified Dash masternodes. You quote, you compete, and you keep the spread your quote earns.

No wrapped assets, no bridge risk

Elsewhere

Cross-chain value is represented by a derivative on the destination chain.

Dash Intents

There is no lock-and-mint step and no derivative token standing in for your balance. The trade settles atomically.

Your stake is the credential

Elsewhere

Participation is open to anonymous capital.

Dash Intents

Every counterparty is a masternode verified against the masternode list, with collateral already at stake.

Getting started

You already own the hard part

The expensive part of being a solver is the stake, and you have already committed it. Registration verifies the masternode you are running today.

1. Verify

Registration checks your proTxHash against the masternode list. Active status, owner address, and payout address are all confirmed from the chain.

2. Configure

Set maxSpreadBps for your quoting ceiling, supportedPairs for the markets you will serve, and minOutputAmountDelta for the smallest edge worth taking.

3. Quote

Read open intents, publish offers, and let the protocol rank you against other operators. Best price that satisfies the intent's constraints wins.

Operator questions

The things you are about to ask

What do I actually earn as a solver?

Two separate things. First, the spread between the input amount you accept and the output amount you deliver — you configure the ceiling with maxSpreadBps. Second, your position in the operator set that directs how treasury funds are allocated. The protocol fee is a separate line item charged on the published tier schedule.

Do I need to hold inventory across many chains?

No. Settlement is atomic and lands on Dash Evolution. There is no wrapped asset and no separate chain balance to maintain, so your working capital is not fragmented across bridge contracts.

How is the protocol fee calculated?

In basis points on a tiered schedule. Trades up to $1,000 pay 15 bps, up to $10,000 pay 10 bps, up to $100,000 pay 7 bps, and anything above pays 5 bps. Each boundary falls into the first matching tier, and the applicable rate is recorded at settlement.

Can I change my pricing after I start?

Yes. maxSpreadBps, supportedPairs, and minOutputAmountDelta are all part of your solver strategy configuration, so you can widen or narrow your quoting as conditions change.

What stops a bad counterparty?

Verification. Solver status is checked against the Dash masternode list, so every participant is identified by an active masternode rather than an anonymous address.

Does this replace my masternode rewards?

No. It sits alongside them. Your masternode continues to earn block rewards. Intents add a second, independent revenue path on top of the collateral you have already committed.

Put your stake to work

Register the masternode you are already running, set your spread, and start quoting open intents. Settlement lands on Dash Evolution.
