Node payout status

Status last updated: November 5, 2026.

As of November 5, 2026, node payouts are delayed. On the recommendation of TokenOS's legal counsel, the funds for payouts are being moved through institutional over-the-counter (OTC) onboarding, so that payouts can be sent on-chain in USDC.

TokenOS has been approved by its OTC partners. The bank is now completing a final compliance check on TokenOS, which is the last step before the funds are released by Fedwire to the OTC partners. Once the Fedwire is complete, the OTC partners complete the onboarding.

Every step follows the institutional process: business verification (KYB), source-of-funds verification, exchange compliance, OTC onboarding, transaction limits, counterparty approval and settlement. These steps are run by third parties, and TokenOS cannot control their timelines, so there is no confirmed payout date. This is the latest status, not a guarantee.

TokenOS will not send individual bank wires, make individual payment arrangements or offer anyone a deal, because any other route risks further delay. TokenOS will not message you about your payout. Anyone who claims to offer you a wire, an early payout or a deal is trying to scam you. Report it in a ticket.

The delay affects when payouts are sent. It does not change the amount owed for a completed node term under your node agreement. Nodes run for a fixed 30-day term, and no service fees are credited after the term ends.

Operators whose nodes were deployed before identity verification was introduced do not need to verify their identity to be paid for those nodes. That exemption does not cover tax forms.

Every operator must submit a tax form, including operators with earlier deployments and payouts still owed. If you do not, your payouts are still sent, but IRS rules require TokenOS to deduct backup withholding tax from them, at the IRS rate of 24% for 2026, and pay it to the IRS. Sign in to your compute.tokenos.ai dashboard and complete the W-9, W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E form there to avoid that withholding tax. Once your form is submitted, TokenOS does not withhold tax, and you are responsible for paying your own taxes. See Tax forms (W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E) and withholding.

If you have a question about your own payout, for example the amount owed, your payout wallet, a completed node term that is not showing or your tax form, submit a ticket with your wallet address and deployment details so the team can check it directly.
