This is a great way to strengthen the network. I thought that the new nodes were going to have a lower entry with no upper limit, but I guess that's not the case. Am I correct to say that with this new introduction of nodes and the reward mechanism is increasing the rewards per epoch for all nodes?
108 core nodes sharing 6000 XDC per epoch = 55.55.. XDC per epoch. That's a bit more than what core nodes usually get per epoch.
The protector nodes will have a slightly lower reward for their participation:
216 protector nodes sharing 10,000 XDC per epoch = 46.2962... XDC.

Are my calculations correct? and if so, will the block creation be increased compared to what the current block creation is now?

Additionally, core validators need to have a step by step on how to add additional XDC to their current 10,000,000 XDC. When I created my nodes some years ago, the masternode website only pulled 10,000,0000 XDC from my wallet even though there was more XDC in my wallet, so it's a bit confusing seeing that we could have staked more XDC. So if I have let's say 11,000,000 XDC staked, will my share of the reward be based on the %8 for standby and 10% for core? or will be based on the 6000 XDC per epoch regardless of how much XDC we stake?
