+The DataHive network implements a performance-based delegation system where nodes with higher tiers and better hardware capabilities receive proportionally more tasks and rewards.
+
+## Task Delegation Structure
+
+**Higher Tier Benefits**
+- More complex legal data processing tasks
+- Increased validation responsibilities
+- Priority task allocation
+- Enhanced network privileges
+
+## Hardware-Based Allocation
+
+| Node Type | Processing Capacity | Task Allocation | Reward Potential |
+|-----------|-------------------|-----------------|------------------|
+| LN4 (Tier 13-15) | Highest (64GB RAM, Dual Xeon) | Maximum workload | Highest rewards |
+| LN3 (Tier 9-12) | Advanced (16-32GB RAM, Xeon/EPYC) | High workload | Enhanced rewards |
+| LN2 (Tier 6-8) | Intermediate (16GB RAM, i9/Ryzen 9) | Moderate workload | Standard rewards |
+| LN1 (Tier 1-5) | Basic (4-16GB RAM, i5-i7/Ryzen 5-7) | Base workload | Base rewards |
+
+## Performance Incentives
+
+The [delegation algorithm](/docs/onboarding/delegation.md) automatically assigns more tasks to nodes that demonstrate:
+- Consistent high performance
+- Superior hardware capabilities
+- Higher tier status
+- Proven reliability
+
+This ensures that nodes with greater capabilities are fully utilized while being compensated proportionally for their enhanced contribution to the network.
