# V1 vs V2 The main difference between EthernodesV1 and EthernodesV2 is that we went from a simple staking profitability model for our clients to a **revenue share model as an operator**. * In V1, all rewards distributed to our clients come from two layers of validator profitability: consensus and execution. * In V2, we added three new layers of profitability, which are based on our ability to attract external volume to our carrier infrastructure. **The external volume received generates new commissions and opportunities**, which we share with our direct deposits! These are the different layers of EthernodesV2 #### Layer 1 - Consensus rewards #### Layer 2 - Execution rewards #### Layer 3 - Commissions for volume derived from Liquid Staking protocols with collateral (Stader / Diva / Lido) #### Layer 4 - Commissions for volume derived from Liquid Staking protocols without collateral (Lido / Stader) #### Layer 5 - Distribution of tokens received through protocol agreements We will go through in detail how each of the layers works. The important thing is that you know that your deposit in Ethernodes will not only serve you to access the profitability of staking... But you will access the staking sector as a node operator! --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
