# Node Staking

### Access Yield from the Bluwhale Intelligence Layer

When users stake their BLUAI nodes, they’re not just locking tokens—they’re plugging directly into Bluwhale’s intelligence economy.

Each node represents a share in the Bluwhale Intelligence Layer, our AI-powered personalization and data infrastructure that powers thousands of dApps and enterprises across web3.

By staking, users are entitled to a portion of the network revenue, distributed in the form of APYs.

The longer the lock-up, the higher the alignment—and the greater the reward.\
As seen on the dashboard:

* 90D Lockup → \~11.34% APY\ <br>
* 180D Lockup → \~22.68% APY\ <br>
* 1 Year → \~45.36% APY\ <br>
* 3 Year → \~136.08% APY\ <br>
* 4 Year → \~181.44% APY\ <br>

Each node staked contributes to the network’s intelligence throughput.\
Each node staker earns from the real usage of the protocol by AI agents, dApps, and enterprise partners.

You’re not farming inflation—you’re earning from demand.
