Will a 10K Node be more powerful than a 10M node in the manufacturing process?

It absolutely could be. While large nodes may dominate the VPND reward pool, the playing field will get levelled with manufacturing. With new attributes for manufacturing being added to all nodes, it’s possible that there will be nodes that are in higher demand on the secondary market because of their manufacturing attributes, even if their TVL is lower than other nodes. Nodes are more than just the sum of their TVL. A nodes TVL will play a huge role in certain value experiences, whereas in others — TVL may play a less critical role. As the role of nodes expands in our ecosystem, the addition of new node attributes beyond TVL will begin. As a guiding principle, we seek to use on-chain data to inform how attribute values are assigned — not randomized assignment.
