IOST Foundation today released the final result of IOST Q2 Contribution Rankings and Rewards. After few days of dispute, there were some notable changes on the final ranking with some node moving higher to a new Tier while some got demoted to a lower Tier and some other node not included in the initial ranking making the list.
Another important change is the amount to be received by each node per Tier with little reduction noticed on each Tier, this is due to the addition of more node to each Tier after the dispute.
Here are some of the differences noticed in each Tier
Tier 1
Two new additions were made to this tier with Alphacoin fund and Attic Lab being the latest inclusion. Alphacoin fund was previously ranked in Tier 3 and Attic Lab previously ranked in Tier 2

Tier 2
Four nodes were added to the final Tier 2 ranking with two other previously ranked Tier 2 node being demoted and 1 previously ranked Tier 2 node promoted.
The new inclusions are IOST Best Node previously ranked in Tier 3, Blackpool previously ranked in Tier 3, Bepal previously ranked in Tier 3 and Rate3 Network which previously didn’t make the ranking.
Demoted nodes from Tier 2 were berminal and endless with both ending up at Tier 3 and Attic Lab being the only promoted node previously ranked in Tier 2 to Tier 1

Tier 3
Blackpool, IOST Best Node, Alphacoin fund and Bepal are previously ranked Tier 3 nodes that were promoted into Tier 2, Tier 2, Tier 1 and Tier 2 respectively .
Endless and Berminal got demoted from Tier 2 to Tier 3.
With nirvanaand nodeasy both previously unranked and Dappreview promoted from Tier 4 being the new addition to Tier 3

Tier 4

IOST Foundation is looking forward to a successful Q3 and increased contribution from Nodes, as well as new nodes joining the ecosystem.
