Pic related does a good job of breaking it down.
The DEX is the first dApp and it's fees will be distributed to the MN holders. If you run a masternode, you'll get
>base MN rewards
>LN-based fees (routing, LN swaps, and private swaps)
For someone running a casa node independently, Lightning fees are so small that it makes adoption slow and haphazard. It's hard for Lightning to find adoption beyond hobbyists because it's not very profitable.
Stakenet's going to use it's masternode network as collateral to bolster LN with a bunch of extra (decentralized) liquidity. That should help to further LN's adoption so it can handle higher volumes and more tx faster.
The MNs can also act as full nodes that host the full BTC or LTC chain. If you were to host a full node, you'd also profit from those tx fees.
Once the DEX is finished, the next goals will be implementing native interoperability with other dApp platforms (ETH/EOS are the first) and launching Viper (XSN's cold storage device that does trustless staking/MN hosting and acts as a LN hub).
Stakenet's dApp platform is code-agnostic. Down the road, they're planning to use the spare power of the collective MN network to form a "supercomputer" of sorts

...I hope that explains it ok. This project goes deep

The open-ended nature towards profitability makes it hard to say exactly how profitable the MNs will be on top of block rewards. They can be purposed in many different ways.
The Lightning components will need to see high volume to become even remotely lucrative. Bitcoin and Litecoin volume is tremendous and it's only expected to grow over time. As LN adoption picks up, they will likely bring the sort of volume needed.
I see the DEX Aggregator being rather profitable as a one-stop for numerous DEX orderbooks.

9 XSN/day/MN from the block rewards with several additional options for more profitability
Right now, that's not even $1/day. Most of us who are in see the potential of it long-term.
I run 4. The MN rewards will pay out enough for me to setup a 5th one by next year assuming I don't buy anymore until then. This has a lot of potential to be a sleeper hit and I don't intend to sell a single coin until the end of 2021/2022.

XSN wants to do everything. Speed, scalability and privacy for ALL assets not just XSN. Any asset they support gets all of these features. XSN benefits by being the network that they all flow through and those using XSN to support the network by either Staking or running a MN get rewarded for that.

I'll give this one more bump if any anons have some questions about Stakenet. I'm happy to help. Otherwise, I'll see you tomorrow.
Here's a new infograph explaining how the MNs will split up their jobs. What do you guys think?
