# Device growth, workload mix, and Rewards profile

* We begin with approximately 25,000 devices focused on VPN workloads, where per-active-device rewards  are in the low-teens USD per month.
* The fleet grows each quarter, and we introduce blockchain full nodes next year. Full nodes earn rewards in the “tens of USD” per active device per month (roughly 2-3× VPN).
* By the end of next year, we target approximately 200,000 devices globally. As the full-node share increases, the blended per-device earnings trend from low-teens toward higher-teens.
* Most devices are active monthly (internally modeled at 80–90%, subject to region, network, and scheduling).

### Quarterly roadmap and workload mix

| Period  | Devices | Workload Mix                    | Per active Device earning |
| ------- | ------- | ------------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| Q4 2025 | 25000   | <p>VPN 100%<br>Full node 0%</p> | Low- teens USD            |
| Q1 2026 | 60000   | <p>VPN 90%<br>Full node 10%</p> | Low to mid teens USD      |
| Q2 2026 | 110000  | <p>VPN 85%<br>Full node 15%</p> | Mid teens USD             |
| Q3 2026 | 150000  | <p>VPN 75%<br>Full node 25%</p> | Mid to high teens USD     |
| Q4 2026 | 200000+ | <p>VPN 70%<br>Full node 30%</p> | High teens USD            |

### Ecosystem Growth and Roadmap

LayerK's growth focuses on node expansion and workload diversification. Starting with VPN, we aim for 200,000+ devices by end-2026, blending in higher-yield jobs like blockchain nodes.
