Example Reward Calculator
Deploy the reward calculator contract for validator and delegator rewards
The Reward Calculator determines how staking rewards are distributed based on validator uptime and delegation amounts.
What is the Reward Calculator?
The ExampleRewardCalculator is a reference implementation that:
- Calculates rewards based on validator uptime percentage (80% threshold)
- Uses a linear, non-compounding reward formula
- Implements the
IRewardCalculatorinterface
Customization for Network Control
This is an example implementation that can be modified to control your network's economics:
- Adjust reward rates to incentivize or limit new permissionless validators
- Balance power dynamics between original PoA validators and new entrants
- Implement custom logic like tiered rewards, bonuses, or penalties based on your network's needs
The reward calculator gives you fine-grained control over how attractive it is for new validators to join versus maintaining the influence of your initial validator set.
Deploy the Contract
When deploying, you'll specify the Reward Rate in basis points, where 100 basis points equals 1% annual percentage rate (APR). For example, entering 500 would set a 5% APR for staking rewards.
