IV.7 The evolving node generations

On the DeFi, there is a problem that many node projects face:
The higher the price of the native token, the harder it is to get the funds necessary to create a node.
With the Prometheus Protocol, we want to make the cost of creating a node affordable for everybody.
Therefore, as the price of the token increases, the cost of a node will decrease.
An example (not indicative):
The Zeus node costs 100 $PHI.
If the price of the $PHI token increases to $100, then the 100 $PHI node will cost $10,000.
In this case, we deploy a second generation of nodes that balances things out. They will cost half as much (and also pay half as much).
With this system, the cost of the Zeus node will drop to 50 $PHI instead of 100 $PHI.
Important: the decay of each node will remain the same, regardless of the node generation deployed.
In order to make it clearer, here is an explanatory table (not indicative):
