RE: Splinterlands SPS Validator Nodes: Can SPS Reach Ludicrous Prices?

The validator license nodes are a separate reward pool than the top DPOS validators. Per the article "In order to try to address that issue we will be offering "licenses" which will allow anyone to earn rewards for running a node without needing to have any staked SPS votes."

The DPOS reward pool monthly is 375,000 SPS whereas the validator node license pool is 3,375,000 SPS monthly which is the reward pool this video uses for its calculations.
