# Node Types

CubiC introduces a **tiered node system** designed to support liquidity, incentivize participation, and accelerate ecosystem growth. Each node tier represents a different level of contribution, with corresponding access to rewards and benefits within the network.

| Node Type    | Investment | Token Ratio | Release                 |
| ------------ | ---------- | ----------- | ----------------------- |
| **Standard** | 500 USDT   | 1:0.6       | 100 days linear release |
| **Advanced** | 3,000 USDT | 1:0.8       | 100 days linear release |
| **Premium**  | 6,000 USDT | 1:1         | 100 days linear release |

The tiered structure allows participants to choose their level of involvement, while the **linear release mechanism**promotes long-term alignment and reduces short-term volatility within the ecosystem.
