# Homnifi Community Update — Global Device Coverage, Delivery Window, Transfers & Claims Date: 4 Sep 2025 ### Summary * Layerk and Homnifi require devices shipped and distributed globally and to remain online to grow real network utility, improve performance, and sustain rewards. * Delivery fee rule (live): once shipping payments are open for processing, pay the delivery/pick-up fee to keep your device active and eligible for rewards. * Announcements will be shared once device shipping payments are available for users. * Grace period for shipping payments update: currently 30 days from purchase; we are extending this to 60 days for all users. As Horysmall is preparing to initiate the shipping payments, the payments service is currently unavailable. * After you pay, rewards will continue for up to another 60 days while your device is shipped, connected, and kept online. * Maintenance fees (live): for in-house / non-delivered NodeK (Gen1/Gen2) machines, a monthly fee is auto-deducted (USDK-W or USDK wallet; partial payments will be tracked as pending and will be deducted when available). * mLYK operations: all pending internal transfers and withdrawals are being processed. Apologies for delays—new cases will be handled at the earliest. *** ### Global Coverage = More Utility & Rewards LayerK + Homnifi scale with active, online devices in as many countries as possible. Wider coverage from the deployments delivers lower latency, higher reliability, unique residential IP’s and capacity for operating utility based services—driving sustainable rewards tied to real contribution.\ \ **Action:**If you’ve purchased a device, complete delivery once the shipping process is opened and keep it powered and online once you receive the devices. *** ### Delivery Fee Rule & Grace Period * Now: You have 30 days from purchase of the product to pay the shipping/pick-up fee. * Incoming update: We’re extending this window to 60 days for all users. You can start the payments once the shipping payments feature is enabled. * After making the payment(once available): Rewards will continue for up to 60 days while your device is shipped, installed, and online. * If unpaid after the grace window, rewards become net zero until the fee is paid (no back-pay). * Your Physical machine cards on NodeK will show a checklist: * Delivery Fee Paid * Machine Delivered * Online Connection Completed This will help you keep track of the status of each machine you own. (virtual machines are not affected). *** ### Maintenance Fees (non-delivered machines) ### — What & Why (in-house / non-delivered machines) * These fees fund the infrastructure and operations that keep capacity available before a device is physically delivered: * Power & hosting readiness: datacenter power availability, racks, cooling readiness. * Server preparation: imaging, OS/hypervisor setup, security hardening, orchestration agents. * Network & monitoring: connectivity, telemetry, alerting, and uptime checks to ensure smooth activation when shipped. * Ongoing updates: patches and configuration updates so machines can join the network immediately on delivery.
**How it works** * Maintenance fee is applied to any devices that are more than a year old from purchase date. * Applied on the 1st of each month, while the machine is not delivered. * Auto-deduct on the 1st from USDK-W or USDK wallets; partial payments or lack of funds are recorded as pending until cleared. *** ### Operations — mLYK Internal Transfers & Withdrawals We’re actively clearing all pending internal transfers and withdrawals and apologize for any delays you may have experienced. Any new pending cases will be prioritized and handled **within 72 hours.** \ \ Track progress in **Wallet → History;** transaction details will appear when broadcast/finalized.\ \ **NodeK Claims — MetaMask Requirement (Mandatory)** Effective immediately, **NodeK claims must be made from a desktop browser with MetaMask pre-configured**. * **Do not use mobile devices** or in-app browsers for claims at this time. * Ensure MetaMask is installed, unlocked, and set to the **LayerK** network before starting. * Keep a small LYK balance if a first-time authorization is requested. We’re shipping reliability improvements and will share updates as support expands.
