NodeOps Network Unveils Innovative Pre-Sale Price Discovery Mechanism

The AI-powered DePIN Orchestration layer for general purpose compute with over 700k verified users

NodeOps Network, the AI-powered DePIN Orchestration layer for general purpose compute with over 700k verified users, has announced a novel pre-sale price discovery mechanism that will allow crypto communities to redeem tokens for use on the network before they are listed.

The network is offering a gamified token conversion model that will enable $NODE token holders to convert their tokens into credits that can be used across the NodeOps ecosystem, such as the NodeOps Console and NodeOps Marketplace, ahead of the public listing.

Announcing the news, Naman Kabra, CEO of NodeOps, explained that the network is “not going to release the token into a bear market.”

“Our users deserve more, and by allowing $NODE to be converted into credits at a fair price, we can circumvent the current market conditions and let them access the services they know and love in NodeOps Console and NodeOps Marketplace.”

According to a press release shared with ZyCrypto, the pre-sale tokenomics model provides immediate utility for the community and ensures they receive a fair price for their tokens.

The token price discovery mechanism combines time-decay economics and demand-responsive adjustments to align incentives, prevent market manipulation, and create transparent valuation signals, addressing one of the biggest challenges in crypto fundraising.

The mechanism rewards early ecosystem participants who hold $NODE while ensuring that the prevailing market conditions do not negatively impact the token’s floor price.

NodeOps was ranked among the top 4 DePIN projects in 2024 and among the top 3 recurring revenue projects in 2025. According to Dune, it currently boasts more than $3 million in annual recurring revenue.

According to the NodeOps Network documentation, the model comprises three key aspects that provide strategic advantages compared to traditional models.

The first aspect is the conversion mechanism, which blends two mathematical frameworks to balance early participant rewards with sustainable liquidity management. A time-based decay allows early participants to receive up to $0.75 per $NODE while maintaining a floor of $0.10 per $NODE. The second part of the conversion mechanism features a demand-responsive adjustment that limits the 24-hour redemption to $50,000.

NodeOps Network has also made the tokens non-transferable, thus preventing speculative accumulation. It also provides a credit limit of $5 million to guard against liquidity shocks.

The final aspect of the pre-sale tokenomics model addresses the deployment of the converted USD credits via the NodeOps console, which the network says creates an immediate ecosystem value rather than abstract speculation.

According to the announcement, Phase 1 of the credit conversion, which takes place pre-Mainnet, features a 60-day conversion window with $5M in total credits, while Phase 2 (post-listing) is designed to ensure a seamless transition to market-driven pricing.

Kabra believes that NodeOps’ token price discovery mechanism presents a fundamental shift from speculative token sales to utility-driven value accrual. “Credits play a critical role in the network economy for NodeOps Network. With this gamified conversion, we are redefining how protocols bootstrap their network by tying token economics directly to the supply and sidelining the narrative that trading activity leads to utility,” he said.
