# Edge Node Tokenomics
By running OORT's edge node and providing storage, compute capacity, or bandwidth, one can help these applications to scale easily while earning mining rewards.
## Network Growth
To ensure sustainable supply-demand balance and support the long-term, healthy development of OORT Edge, new Deimos devices can only join the network once the average utilization rate of total storage and computing power reaches 70% over a 3-month period. This mechanism prevents oversupply and maintains network efficiency and stability.

After the expansion, the total daily mining rewards will remain unchanged.
{% endhint %}
## Inflation Reduction
The OORT Foundation will host community voting to decide whether to reduce mining rewards and how much should be reduced every few months after OORT Edge launches, based on the amount of token circulation.
{% hint style="info" %}
**What is inflation reduction?**\
Reducing mining rewards in a network. \
\
\&#xNAN;*For example, the community can decide to reduce mining rewards in half.*
