As we get closer to #Metagraph release let's dive into this formula and break it down and what this means for $DAG and running a metagraph L0 (hybrid node) in the following areas

Price 💹
Staking 💸
Node hardware 💻

Now, if the price of $DAG increases, users are likely to stake more $DAG in the network because the value of their holdings has increased. As a result, the stakedDAG component in the unitMultiplier calculation will also increase.

Since the unitMultiplier is the reciprocal of the sum of (stakedDAG * stakingWeight) and (proScore * proWeight), an increase in stakedDAG will result in a lower unitMultiplier.

When the unitMultiplier decreases, it leads to a reduction in the overall fee (baseFee * unitAmount * unitMultiplier). This means that as the price of $DAG goes up, the fees for submitting metagraph snapshots to the Hypergraph will be lowered,

making it more affordable for users to interact with the network. This mechanism ensures that the network remains accessible and cost-effective even as the value of $DAG fluctuates.

Staked $DAG Amounts and Rewards:
In the formula, the unitMultiplier component considers the stakedDAG amount. The more $DAG a user stakes, the higher their stakingWeight, which in turn reduces the unitMultiplier.

A lower unitMultiplier results in a lower fee, increasing the net rewards for the user. Thus, someone with a higher staked $DAG amount will receive greater rewards compared to those with less staked $DAG.

Hardware Requirements and Rewards:
The computationalCost in the unitAmount calculation represents the hardware requirements for processing transactions.

Nodes with more powerful hardware can handle higher computationalCosts, resulting in an increased byteSize, which leads to a higher unitAmount.

The higher unitAmount implies more work performed by the node. Consequently, the node is compensated with greater rewards, acknowledging the additional resources contributed to the network.
