Cardano When will I start receiving my ADA rewards?

<h1 id="when-will-i-start-receiving-my-ada-rewards">When will I start receiving my ADA rewards?</h1>Many of our community members have been asking around when they could start receiving rewards from delegated stake. And the short answer might be as follows: you will begin receiving staking rewards three entire epochs after the epoch during which you delegated your ADA. But let’s take a closer look at the delegation cycle.<hr><h2 id="delegation-cycle-explanation">Delegation Cycle Explanation</h2>Below you can find a graph showing the delegation cycle on the <a href="https://cardano.org/?ref=p2p.org">Cardano</a> network.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/ApO8ZLR.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1630" height="1182" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2020/09/ApO8ZLR.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2020/09/ApO8ZLR.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2020/09/ApO8ZLR.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/ApO8ZLR.png 1630w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>First we need to determine a starting point. For example, <code>P2P</code> stake pool was registered on 11 August 2020. Thus, if you had delegated during the <code>210</code> epoch your stake would have been counted in the snapshot on the <code>210-211</code> epochs boundary.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/2.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1630" height="1182" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2020/09/2.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2020/09/2.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2020/09/2.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/2.png 1630w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>Once the snapshot is taken, we have to wait for the current epoch to be finished so that the stake becomes active. In our case we are going to wait for the <code>212</code> epoch.During the <code>212</code> epoch the snapshotted stake becomes active and participates in the block minting process according to the Ouroboros consensus engine logic.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/3.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1630" height="1182" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2020/09/3.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2020/09/3.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2020/09/3.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/3.png 1630w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>In the following <code>213</code> epoch, the rewards will be calculated properly according to the stake size of each delegator.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/4.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1630" height="1182" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2020/09/4.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2020/09/4.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2020/09/4.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/4.png 1630w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>Finally, you will be rewarded for your patience on the first day of the next epoch. In the <code>P2P</code> case it will be <code>214</code> epoch on August 28.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/5.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1630" height="1182" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2020/09/5.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2020/09/5.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2020/09/5.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/5.png 1630w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><h2 id="takeaways">Takeaways</h2><ol><li>Cardano is a long term investment so you have to make a decision about delegation/redelegation with caution.</li><li>You can terminate the delegation process at any moment by sending your funds from the staking wallet to a new wallet that wasn’t used for delegation.

Polkadot Polkadot overview for newcomers

<h1 id="polkadot-overview-for-newcomers">Polkadot overview for newcomers</h1>August 18th, 2020 - Polkadot almost became a fully-operational network by reaching the 4th of five milestones - opening transfers between accounts. The network is expected to finish the rollout plan this autumn by enabling parachain auctions and cross-chain interaction protocol, but, which might be important for newcomers, now you can legally buy and sell DOT tokens. If you are someone who missed the original 2017 and small 2020 sale but still are interested - this article is for you.<h2 id="which-wallets-to-use">Which wallets to use?</h2>We recommend starting exploring Polkadot with official <a href="https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?ref=p2p.org#/accounts">Polkadot.js browser wallet</a> (you would also need to install <a href="https://github.com/polkadot-js/extension?ref=p2p.org">polkadot.js browser plugin</a>). This is the official wallet supported by Web3 Foundation that provides all possible opportunities for DOT users. If you are not a fan of desktop wallets, you can just walk through all tabs and get a good overview of Polkadot. The full list of supported wallets can be found <a href="https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/en/build-wallets?ref=p2p.org">here</a>.You will notice that a lot of them are in the development stage, but the following ones are fully functional:<ul><li><a href="https://www.parity.io/signer/?ref=p2p.org">Parity Signer</a></li><li><a href="https://lunie.io/?ref=p2p.org">Lunie</a></li><li><a href="https://polkawallet.io/?ref=p2p.org">Polkawallet</a></li><li><a href="https://token.im/?ref=p2p.org">ImToken</a></li><li><a href="https://www.mathwallet.org/polkadot-wallet/en/?ref=p2p.org">Math wallet</a></li></ul>Please note that the wallets may not provide full functionality (e.g., Democracy, Council voting, Extrinsic, etc.) - but all of them support transfers and staking.<h2 id="where-to-buy-dot">Where to buy DOT?</h2>Generally, we don’t give advice on the exchange as your experience may differ based on the country of your residence or KYC/AML procedures. As you’re reading this page, we believe you are already a crypto person and you don’t need common advice like picking a trusted exchange. But there’s one thing you may not be familiar with:On August 21st, Polkadot will go through the redenomination process. It means the “old” DOT will be equal to 100 “new” DOTs. This was the choice of community - you can read more in the <a href="https://polkadot.network/the-results-are-in/?ref=p2p.org">official post</a>. This change will not be done by changing any core code - from 21st 1 DOT will be equal to 10^10 Plancks (the smallest fraction of DOT), while now it’s 10^12 Plancks. If you buy your DOT now, you will just see 100x more DOT on your balance after 21st.<h2 id="how-to-create-an-account">How to create an account?</h2>Please use <a href="https://p2p.org/economy/create-account-in-polkadot-network">our guide</a>. The whole process will take several minutes.<h2 id="how-to-nominate">How to nominate?</h2>We have a general <a href="https://p2p.org/economy/polkadot-nomination-guide">guide on nominating</a>. Here are some additional tips that you might find helpful:<ul><li>You can nominate from 1 to 16 validators from one account. The validator election mechanism will distribute your stake to validators in an optimal way (generally, for one validator). We recommend to nominate trusted validators as the right selection will provide better yield and protect you from <a href="https://p2p.org/economy/Polkadot-overview-for-newcomers#what-is-slashing-and-how-does-it-work">slashing</a>.</li><li>Your nomination status will update every day (around 1PM CET - when the validator election happens). The meaning of each status: Active - your nomination is working, and one of the validators you’ve chosen is in the active validator set. Everything is OK. Inactive - it is OK to have some inactive nomination while you have at least one active - it means that your nomination is working, but some of the validators you’ve chosen are not in the active set. Waiting - you will see this status if you’ve made a nomination but the elections haven’t happened yet. Don’t worry, just wait for the validator elections to be held. Renomination needed - this signals you that you need an update of your nomination.</li><li>Bonding and unbonding Bonding means you’re locking your funds to work in staking. While funds are locked, you can make nominations, update them, vote, etc. To make your funds liquid you should go through unbonding. Unbonding might be performed when you want to stop nominating and move or sell your DOTs. Please be careful - the unbonding period for Polkadot is 28 days, so basically you won’t be able to transfer or stake your DOTs for almost a month!</li><li>Controller account is a special account that might be linked with your primary account (stash in terms of Polkadot) to perform some actions (e.g., staking). It is good practice to have a controller account connected to your stash and don’t touch the last one without a significant reason. What is more important, you can basically share your controller account with 3rd parties to perform staking while keeping your stash keys with you and your funds will be safe!</li></ul>For those of you who have more than 50000 DOT we have a <a href="https://p2p.org/economy/polkadot-nomination-strategies/#p2p-validator-special-offer">special offer</a>!<h2 id="how-do-rewards-work">How do rewards work?</h2>At the moment, Polkadot provides around 14-15% APR on your stake. The following things might influence your profit:<ul><li>Validator fee. The average validator fee is around 3%.</li><li>Luck. The profit for each validator is proportional to the number of blocks produced during the era. These numbers will be equal in the long run, but for some days you may notice a bit more or a bit less profit than predicted - so basically you should not worry about this.</li><li>Total stake on the node. Polkadot provides staking rewards that are almost equal for every validator. After that, the validator automatically distributes the profit for the nominators after taking a validator fee. So, nominating to the validator that has 2M DOT in nominations will bring you twice as much as nominating the one with 4M DOT in nominations.</li><li>Overall validator performance. In the real world, different validators have different hardware resources, connectivity, etc. - all of these factors may affect nominators’ profitability.</li><li>Slashing penalties. <a href="https://p2p.org/economy/Polkadot-overview-for-newcomers#what-is-slashing-and-how-does-it-work">Please take a note on slashing and how it works in Polkadot</a>.</li></ul>Please use our <a href="https://p2p.org/economy/polkadot-nomination-strategies">article with nomination strategies</a> that are based on the stake you holdOther important points on the rewards:<ul><li>Rewards are distributed each era (24 hours for Polkadot).</li><li>By default, the rewards are not claimed automatically. This can be done either by you or by your nominated validator. P2P Validator is periodically claiming rewards for our nominators, so you should not worry about this if you nominate us.</li></ul><h2 id="what-is-slashing-and-how-does-it-work">What is slashing and how does it work?</h2>Slashing is a penalty mechanism that provides economic incentives for validators to play fair and nominators to choose the right validators. Slashing is triggered when a validator makes a double sign or more than 10% of the network goes offline. This can also happen because of a software bug. In such cases, the slashes are applied after 28 days and can be canceled by democracy voting.As the slashing is applied to both validator and its nominators, you may lose some portion of your stake. To minimize risks to be slashed:<ul><li>Select 16 validators in your nomination.</li><li>Select only the validators you know and trust.</li><li>Don’t try to make maximum profits - staking is a marathon, not a sprint. The risk of losing a portion of your stake might outweigh the better profitability of an unknown validator.</li></ul><h2 id="what-resources-to-use-or-follow">What resources to use or follow?</h2>For all newcomers to Polkadot ecosystem, we recommend the following resources:<ul><li>Our <a href="https://p2p.org/economy/category/polkadot/">blog articles about Polkadot</a></li><li>Join the <a href="https://t.me/PolkadotOfficial?ref=p2p.org">official Polkadot group on telegram</a></li><li>Join the <a href="https://matrix.to/?ref=p2p.org#/!FdCojkeGzZLSEoiecf:web3.foundation?via=matrix.parity.io&via=matrix.org&via=web3.foundation">community group in Element</a></li><li>Use the official <a href="https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/en/getting-started?ref=p2p.org">wiki of the project</a></li><li>Get familiar with Polkadot in action using <a href="https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?ref=p2p.org#/accounts">Polkadot.js</a></li><li>Use <a href="https://polkascan.io/polkadot?ref=p2p.org">Polkascan</a> or <a href="https://www.subscan.io/?ref=p2p.org">Subscan</a> to dive deeper in addresses and transactions</li><li>Give <a href="https://kusama.network/?ref=p2p.org">Kusama</a> network, a wild cousin of Polkadot, a try</li></ul><h2 id="about-p2p-validator">About P2P Validator</h2><a href="https://p2p.org/?utm_source=blog&utm_campaign=polkadot_for_newcomers">P2P Validator</a> is a world-leading non-custodial staking provider with the best industry practices and proven expertise.

Polkadot Polkadot Nomination Strategies

While validators in Polkadot work together as the heart of the ecosystem - validate transactions, build the blockchain itself, and maintain network security, nominators supply the blood - they delegate their tokens to the validators they trust and therefore receive rewards and provide supply to the blockchain economy. So, what's the best strategy for a nominator? How to be sure your funds are safe and working at their maximum? We've gathered some strategies that might be useful for you based on the stake you have.<h1 id="500k-dots-and-more-">500K DOTs and more.</h1>You hold a large number of tokens, and the rewards you can get are pretty high (in absolute numbers). Here are some thoughts that you might find useful:<ul><li>The right nomination strategy can add several additional points to your APR, while with the wrong one you can receive only half of the potential profit. "Nominate once and relax" won't work for you because the fluctuations of nominations on the network can change the position of validators you've chosen drastically.</li><li>Selecting the most profitable validators in polkadot.js UI might not be a good idea because your stake is significant enough to change the position of validators in terms of profitability.</li><li>To make the best choice of validator, you should make predictions on the next validator set for each era, which requires development resources and a deep understanding of Polkadot validator election mechanisms.</li></ul>All this can make you think that it's almost impossible to get the maximum from your stake. Luckily, you're reading this text on p2p.org. We're a top-tier validator and can make this happen because of our vast amount of experience accumulated in Kusama and Polkadot.<h3 id="p2p-validator-special-offer-">P2P Validator special offer:</h3><ul><li>Optimized regular nominations to get maximum yield</li><li>Direct support by chat or video call</li><li>Weekly reports on profitability</li><li>Reports for tax authorities on demand</li><li>An immediate reaction in case of active set increases and other changes that can potentially affect your staking rewards.</li></ul>All the mentioned benefits are available for you without any additional fees. Contact us via <a href="mailto:[email protected]">email</a> or <a href="https://t.me/P2Pstaking?ref=p2p.org">join our telegram group</a> to know more.<h1 id="50k-500k-dots">50K - 500K DOTs</h1>We can bet you care about your profits, so you may develop this strategy by yourself - monitor the staking daily and update your nomination to choose the best validators. But the question is - how to choose reliable validator nodes and get maximum rewards from them? Here are some thoughts:<ul><li>Your stake is still significant enough not to use the automatic validator selection on polkadot.js - you're still able to push the specific node from the top profitability position.</li><li>Try not to update your nomination right after the election happens. The same reason being as for the point above - your nomination changes the landscape, so the best time to make an update is about noon CET.</li></ul>Feel free to use a <a href="https://redash.p2p.org/public/dashboards/cviD6Ci7oUDRnSoq8CqNJImrJfq8uuY37DsiF2CY?org_slug=default&ref=p2p.org">dashboard</a> that predicts the next validator set and was designed to find out the best targets for nominations.If you plan to continue staking Polkadot and would contact us during the upcoming month - we are happy to tell you are also able to receive a special offer for 500K+ stakes. Contact us via <a href="mailto:[email protected]">email</a> or <a href="https://t.me/P2Pstaking?ref=p2p.org">join our telegram group</a> to know more<h1 id="10k-50k-dots">10K-50K DOTs</h1>With a stake in this range, you might be interested in increasing profits, but paying too much attention to staking would not cover the costs of your time. The best approach would be to make a nomination and come back, check and update nomination if needed in a week or two. Here are some thoughts that might help you to make the right choice of validator:<ul><li>Choose nodes from a validator you know and can reach in case you have any questions. Polkadot network is permissionless - that means anyone can be a validator. The malicious behavior of a validator results in a punishment (slashing in terms of Polkadot) - which is a lot more harmful to the nominator than the validator.</li><li>If you're using polkadot.js, be careful over choosing validators automatically. This mechanism relies only on the current state of nominations and fees - and tells you nothing about specific validator quality.</li></ul>Use the <a href="https://p2p.org/polkadot?utm_source=blog&utm_campaign=polkadot_nomination_strategies">p2p.org/polkadot</a> web page to find out the best target addresses supported by P2P Validator.<h1 id="0-10k-dots">0-10K DOTs</h1>You don't have enough dots to earn a lot - but that also brings you an advantage - your stake does not significantly change a selected validator's profitability, so there is no need to pay much attention to nominations. The best strategy for you would be to choose around eight top-performing validators from the active set and the rest from the waiting list based on your feelings. We encourage you to put a bet on both big names in validation and include smaller independent validators who are active in community chats.<h1 id="general-thoughts">General thoughts</h1>According to Polkadot network rules, you can choose up to 16 validators in your nomination, and an automated election algorithm will do the rest. It looks like a perfect solution - to nominate once and relax, but there are some pitfalls that might affect your profits:<ul><li>Validators you've nominated might not be elected to the active validator set. This situation might occur if the other nominators that chose the same validators as you will renominate to other nodes. In this case, you're entirely missing any profit - and will continue to miss it until you make a new nomination or other people help your validators reach the active validator set.</li><li>Validators you've nominated become extremely popular and receive many nominations. In this case, you're getting profits on your stake, but they are not optimal. Here's a simple explanation: the reward each validator receives is almost equal for all active validators in the long term. The more nominated stake a specific validator has, the less each nominator gets. Some validators have nominations for 2M, some for 4M DOTs - as a result, the profits for their nominators differ twice!</li><li>There is a small chance the nodes you've nominated would go offline. If you nominate 16, the chance all of them would be down is meager - but it exists.</li></ul>The risks of not paying attention to the actual state of nomination in Polkadot can result in losing profits (partially or even completely). To mitigate our nominators' risks, P2P Validator supplies new validator nodes when the demand for them is growing.Why else should you nominate P2P Validator?<ul><li>We've invested our own funds in Polkadot & ecosystem and stake them via the public validator nodes - the same as you do</li><li>We have a dedicated DevOps and development team with a tremendous amount of experience across Polkadot and other blockchains</li><li>We were the first ones to run validators in both Polkadot and Kusama</li><li>We've achieved top-notch profitability for our nominators in Kusama and have a good track record.</li></ul>How to nominate P2P? Just use the 16 validator nodes listed on our website <a href="https://p2p.org/polkadot?utm_source=blog&utm_campaign=polkadot_nomination_strategies">p2p.org/polkadot</a><h2 id="p2p-statistics-in-kusama">P2P statistics in Kusama</h2>We have accumulated a huge amount of experience in staking Kusama and continue this story in Polkadot.

Polkadot Polkadot Council elections: vote for P2P Validator

After the first council elections and removal of sudo module Polkadot will become a permissionless chain fully governed by the community. Every DOT holder can submit a proposal and suggest parameter changes such as increasing the validator set and many more.P2P Validator is excited to announce our Council candidacy. We have supported both Polkadot and Kusama networks from the very beginning, and, as a result, received more than 50,000,000 DOTs from 250+ users as nominations. As a Council member, we promise to act in the interests of the Polkadot community.<h2 id="why-you-should-vote-for-p2p-validator">Why you should vote for P2P Validator</h2><ul><li>We have a proven track record of 2+ years in the validation business across different networks</li><li>We are active participants in the governance of most groundbreaking blockchains</li><li>We've invested our funds in Polkadot & ecosystem and stake them via the public validator nodes</li><li>We have a dedicated development team and participate in W3F General Grants Program</li><li>We are always open for community requests</li></ul><a href="https://p2p.org/economy/Polkadot-Council-elections-vote-for-P2P-Validator#how-to-vote">Press here to find detailed instructions on voting.</a><h2 id="role-of-a-council-member">Role of a council member</h2>Efficient governance implies an active participation of stakeholders, which is always limited to some extent. It requires continuous monitoring of new proposals and taking actions to check that the outcome is not harmful for the ecosystem. Sometimes, token holders miss the right moment or simply prefer not to participate in voting for various reasons. Councils in Polkadot represent passive stakeholders and have a crucial role in the governance affecting the way of approving/rejecting proposals.Some of their capabilities:<ul><li>Accept or reject treasury spending proposals</li><li>Propose a referendum and change its bias</li><li>Cast "veto" on a malicious proposal</li><li>Cancel slashes that are in a queue for application</li></ul>Initially there are 13 councilors, the number will gradually grow to 23. Elections initially happen once a day. Later, elections will occur on a weekly basis and eventually monthly. Every token holder can pick up to 16 candidates. Stake-weighted votes are distributed automatically based on the Phragmen method the same way as nominating validators. Tokens involved in staking count in the selection of Council members. The vote is considered valid until canceled via extrinsic. Before that DOT are frozen (becoming non-transferable). Unlike unbonding, there is no specific period to wait before unfreezing and they become unlocked and transferable right after submitting a corresponding transaction.<h2 id="the-mission-of-p2p-validator-as-a-council-member">The mission of P2P Validator as a council member</h2>Very simply, we can describe our mission as a council member as follows: to protect the interests of nominators and validators.Although nominators and validators have different roles in the ecosystem, we find that many points are valid for both:<ul><li>Nominators and validators own and earn a certain amount of tokens and are interested in network ecosystem growth.</li><li>Nominators' stake and validators' future profits are in a non-liquid state, so both would not welcome any change that would result in a negative change in value of their holdings.</li><li>In some cases, nominators and small independent validators may not have enough time or expertise to analyze the proposed changes and make a considered conclusion in voting for or against.</li></ul>So, what exactly are we going to do as a council member?<ul><li>Dive as deep as we can into any proposal that is put to the council</li><li>Publicly express our opinion regarding the proposals clearly stating the expected results for both nominators and validators</li><li>Collect opinions from both validators and nominators</li><li>Discuss it with other council members and vote based on the opinions we've got from the community</li><li>Issue regular reports on the network development direction based on the proposals and discussions in the council</li></ul><h2 id="how-to-vote">How to vote</h2>1.

NuCypher NuCypher Worker Node Monitoring Suite

As part of the Technical Contributor Phase of NuCypher’s <a href="https://blog.nucypher.com/come-and-stake-it-incentivized-testnet/?utm_source=p2peconomy">Come And Stake It (CASI) Incentivized Testnet</a>, <a href="https://p2p.org/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=economy&utm_campaign=NuCypher-monitoring">P2P Validator</a> has collaborated with <a href="http://www.nucypher.com/?ref=p2p.org">NuCypher</a> to provide an inexpensive and powerful <a href="https://github.com/p2p-org/nucypher-monitoring?ref=p2p.org">suite of self-hosted NuCypher node monitoring and alerting services</a> using Prometheus and Grafana. This suite is free and open-sourced so that anyone can make use of it to manage their NuCypher node infrastructure.<h2 id="the-need">The Need</h2>The NuCypher Network is a decentralized network of nodes that uses proxy re-encryption to provide secrets management and dynamic access control services. The network facilitates end-to-end encrypted data sharing between parties without exposing plaintext data or private keys to the nodes.NuCypher nodes are incentivized to maintain high uptime and availability to readily provide re-encryption services. Persistent downtime will cause nodes to forgo inflation rewards and policy fees. Therefore, identification and resolution of availability issues quickly is a requirement. This solution is aimed at those who independently set up and run the Worker according to the NuCypher documentation, but who do not have enough experience to implement monitoring and alerting on their own. After successfully running a Worker node, the user should be able to check the state of their node and receive timely alerts about issues that need to be addressed immediately.<h2 id="the-solution">The Solution</h2>Our goal was to provide a seamless setup, simple configuration and enable the user to obtain up-to-date information about their ongoing node operations and the broader NuCypher network. We implemented a Worker endpoint that provides various node metrics and a Grafana dashboard to allow users to visualize these metrics and assess the state of their node.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/1-2.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1240" height="444" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2020/09/1-2.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2020/09/1-2.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/1-2.png 1240w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/2-4.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1240" height="780" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2020/09/2-4.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2020/09/2-4.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/2-4.png 1240w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>Metrics include:<ul><li>CPU / RAM / Disk / Network utilization</li><li>Realtime data on node workload</li><li>Account balances</li><li>Staker information</li><li>WorkLock status</li></ul>Furthermore, alerts can be provisioned based on these metrics through the dashboard to send timely messages when notable issues arise.

You can check received and pending rewards, balances and current delegations across any amount of addresses for any baker in one place.Try it now at <a href="https://p2p.org/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=economy&utm_campaign=p2p_dashboard_tezos">p2p.org</a><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/Connect-with-manual4b1e6e8eea0a0233.gif" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1440" height="616" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2020/09/Connect-with-manual4b1e6e8eea0a0233.gif 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2020/09/Connect-with-manual4b1e6e8eea0a0233.gif 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/Connect-with-manual4b1e6e8eea0a0233.gif 1440w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>Token holders in the Tezos network are faced with the problem of tracking received and expected rewards from their baker. Often, a user who has delegated his assets does not have the opportunity to check and if the baker delays payment or stops paying at all (as was the case with Flippin Tacos), he loses the reward.All this is even more difficult if you are baking with several bakers or splitting your assets between different addresses.P2P Dashboard gives Tezos users an easy way to track payouts for unlimited addresses for all bakers. By adding one or more addresses to the panel, you can find information about current delegations, balances, and payments.<blockquote>“ In building P2P Validator we have gained a lot of experience and learned about delegators’ needs by communicating with those in the Tezos network. We feel the love from the Tezos community and want to pay something back by solving the problem of tracking Tezos portfolios with multiple addresses. We launched P2P Dashboard and our goal is to make life easier for delegators who have 1 or more Tezos accounts!</blockquote><blockquote>Paul P. - product manager at p2p.org”</blockquote>To start, go to <a href="https://p2p.org/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=economy&utm_campaign=p2p_dashboard_tezos">p2p.org</a> and click on the Get started button in the right corner.

Cyberway Introduction to CyberWay

<h1 id="introduction">Introduction</h1>Since the development of the first blockchain database named “Bitcoin”, complex transaction behaviour was a “Holy Grail” for people wondering how they could pay, bet, play, and even order pizza with such assets.The first complex transaction logic implementation was made available right in “Bitcoin” with a stack virtual machine providing a limited set of operations for the end-user to make some fun with it. Fine example is an Omni-layer built on top of the operations set, which end-user intention is to provide a creation and usage of the custom user-defined assets. Such a system successfully fulfilled contemporary requirements for liquid asset transfer. Unfortunately, such an application logic usage rapidly overflowed the throughput available, so no mass adoption happened.Another attempt to provide the customizable complex transaction behaviour was made with creation of “Ethereum”, which provided some created from scratch programming language called “Solidity” for creation of even more complex application logic, hoping it would not overflow the database throughput. Obviously this lead to another failure. Primal language and naive database architecture understanding did not survive the reality check - in 2017 the protocol was literally down with CryptoKitties hype.The scalability troubles got up again, so another popular solution was rapidly proposed. It’s name was EOS. The solution was to split the computable transaction complex behaviour and to process it with the set of cluster nodes, which were called “Block producers”. This lead to the entrustment of an enourmous responsibility to these “Block producers”. They were now not only about data storage providers, but also computation providers. Now these guys not only store and process your data, but they even define the way your transaction behaves itself, define if they allow such a transaction to be written or not. Futhermore, such an “improvement” lead to the unacceptable database node hardware requirements, which made the support truly awful. Moreover such a split was not enough for building production-ready applications - who would like to find out if the upvote transaction, which was even payed for, was at first queued and then rejected?<h2 id="you-have-something-to-propose">You have something to propose?</h2>Yeap. The following blog post series is about the CyberWay (<a href="https://cyberway.io/?ref=p2p.org">https://cyberway.io</a>) - improved and refactored EOS fork.<h1 id="proposal">Proposal</h1>So what is CyberWay particularily about?<h2 id="eos-compatibility">EOS-compatibility</h2>First of all the backward compatibility is held. The code contains most of the tolerable EOS parts, but excludes the awful ones. So-called “Smart Contracts” API backward compatiblity is held too, but the insides have changed. That means every EOS application could easily become the CyberWay-based one and vice versa. Enough of that. Next.<h2 id="bandwidth">Bandwidth</h2>EOS’s bandwidth distribution is closely related to the amount of asset the particular user owns. Furthermore, it requires for the user to hold the asset to be available for the usage at any time. That means the asset becomes a highly valuable, but also it becomes the non-available for the newcomers one. So no newcoming applications are welcomed to be built with EOS.Striving to eliminate these inconveniences Cyberway introduces some changes.The bandwitdh accounting is split to the couple of categories:<ol><li>Priority-based bandwidth allows a user to get required computational facilities according to the amount of core-asset available.</li><li>Shared bandwidth supplies users with the unused computational power according to the particular user activity.</li></ol><h2 id="state-storage">State Storage</h2>EOS’s state storage is extremely unreliable and does not ensures that data is saved and restored after restart correctly. Futhermore EOS does not provide any convenient API, but supposes the data structure stored inside would be complex.CyberWay solves these troubles. CyberWay uses the external DBMS for the state storage, which means the particular developer favourite query language can be used and the external well-designed replication and clusterisation mechanisms, done by real engineers and scientists, are also about to reduce the hardware costs and make life easier.<h2 id="event-engine">Event Engine</h2>Because of the storage internals being factored out the separate service, the additional transaction contents-based event engine implementation is required. It is now impossible to alert the CyberWay executable from the various database if something happened or not, just like it was in EOS. Monitoring-purposed event engine, implemented as a part of updateable application, takes back the ability to track changes coming with every transaction, even if the data storage is completely outside.<h2 id="virtualization">Virtualization</h2>Just like EOS, CyberWay requires for the transaction behaviour to be updated easier, than updating the whole cluster software. That is why the WebAssembly engine is used for the virtualization purposes and with C++ as primary language for the application development.<h1 id="separation">Separation</h1>Why don’t just patch EOS?Several troubles are about the data itself, and not the code:<ol><li>EOS’s architecture made the memory quant an expensive one: according to the <a href="https://eosrp.io/?ref=p2p.org">https://eosrp.io</a> the cost of such a memory quant fluctuates from \$0.2 to \$0.5. That means any transaction-intensive application (e.g. some social applications) with even a quite small amount of active users (e.g. 2000-3000) would take at least 400MB per week, which would cost up to \$200,000.</li></ol>EOS’s custom transaction behaviour is stored inside the huge hash-table allocated over a shared memory and the access is provided with an interface, based on quite sofisiticated executable logic, which also costs.The obvious solution - to make a cache service and process the data all inside it - is also quite a task because:<ol><li>The so-called “Constitution” of EOS defines the largest time interval available for the unused data to be stored with the same ownership as 3 years. This is quite unacceptable with some kind of applications (e.g. social ones) demanding data availability from the very beggining, but the changes are hard to make because lots of other application types are perfetcly fine with this.</li><li>EOS is made to produce replication packages as fast as it can - about half of a second. Such a frequency is fine for marketing purposes, but it significally reduces the complexity of custom transaction logic. This is also unacceptable.</li><li>Reduced amount of validators - only 21, and no significant increase is expected because of EOS protocol restrictions.</li><li>Censorship availability for validators implemented right in the protocol core.</li></ol><h1 id="applications">Applications</h1>Applications are welcomed to use the following.<h2 id="shared-bandwidth">Shared Bandwidth</h2>Shared bandwidth sets a limit for the user activity based on its’ staked asset amount, but no less than some basic threshold. This is required to prevent spam to database from the newcomers, and redistribute more computational resources to the succesful application developers.Shared bandwidth is accounted separately for the network, RAM and CPU usage.Coming to accounting - this is done with particular application bandwidth balance, which shares the convenient part for the user performing the transaction. That is why this is called “Shared” bandwidth. The application is a multisignature account, which requires at least one additional signature from the particular user, for its’ bandiwidth to be used.This type of bandwidth allows CyberWay to provide applications with free on-boarding of users at early stages via CyberWay Acceleration Program. Later successful application could get CYBER tokens within Acceleration Program from special fund.<h2 id="priority-based-bandwidth">Priority-Based Bandwidth</h2>Priority-based bandwidth is required for the user to surely write the transaction. It is formed with the amount of core asset staked by the particular user and guarantees the transaction gets written right at next replication time. The whole amount of staked core asset forms the bandwidth market.Each account gets a share from the whole bandwidth market according to the amount of core asset the account has staked. Considering the case some user owned and staked the significant part of the whole bandwidth supply means the reduction of the resources available for other users. This is definitely not something requiring applications want.That is why CyberWay introduces the prioritization of the bandwidth. That means the bandwidth gets split to a couple of categories:<ol><li>Guaranteed bandwidth, which works exactly as EOS’s one.</li><li>Priority bandwidth, which is defined according to the particular account priority.</li></ol>How do account earn the priority?There are couple of ways:<ol><li>Perform less transactions using the currently available guaranteed bandwidth. The priority lowers as more transactions gets put inside with a single user.</li><li>Stake more core asset.</li></ol>The guaranteed/prioritized bandwidth split ratio is set by the cluster validators.<h2 id="memory-rent">Memory Rent</h2>Cluster RAM is something the applications require to work. In contrast to EOS, CyberWay supposes the RAM to be rented from so-called block producers, but not to be owned. The rules are the following:<ul><li>Every block producer sets a price for 1Kb memory per month. The price begins from the median price value across all block producers.</li><li>Users place their orders for some particular memory amount rent per month.</li><li>The order is recognized as emplaced for a week, after that it gets evaluated in case the cluster-wide demanded memory is lower than the amount of proposed one.</li><li>In case the proposed amount of memory is lower than demanded, proposed memory gets auctioned.</li></ul>In case the memory rent time is up, but there is still some user data stored inside, the archive operation is introduced. Block producers are in charge of initiating such an archivation and the restore is available for the user for the price median-valued among block producers.<h2 id="dbms-based-state-storage">DBMS-based State Storage</h2>Inspite of existing so-called “blockchain” databases, CyberWay does not intend to implement the database management software and uses the external DBMS as a state storage for more reliability. For now, only MongoDB is available, but in case of requirements, more are coming. Such a configuration considered to be troublesome for managing, but more reliable in long term.Embedded state storage is also available in CyberWay. RocksDB is used for the in-memory and in-daemon storage management component that is faster than MongoDB.<h2 id="event-engine-1">Event Engine</h2>As the state storage engine is incapsulated and factored out of the controller daemon, the event engine is implemented as a helper application, syncronizing and managing the data in external storages.The input of such an application is a transaction set, each of which gets registered as “processed” and only after this the data are unpacked to state storage.Such an approach allows to make sure the routine data operations are processed as required and to split the data managing daemon to single-responsibility micro-services.<h1 id="domain-names">Domain Names</h1>Every created account is not identified with a key as other databases do, but it gets a unique 8 byte identifier encoded in base32. Also a human-readable 63 byte length unique names are available for the assignment for every user. In case of the amount of such names is greater than one, it gets charged and called a “Domain Name”.Every domain name can be auctioned from base protocol or created by owner of a lower-level domain name. Domain names are transferable and reassignable. Therefore, a need for conversion between a domain name and account identifier gets satisfied with a newly introduced sufficient mechanism as much as need for domain transactions. Domain transactions are transactions which get applied to the data only related to the particular domain-name/application.<h1 id="protocol-properties">Protocol Properties</h1>Protocol properties are also got changed comparing to EOS’s ones.<h2 id="block-generation">Block Generation</h2>First of all, block generation time is increased for achieving more stable node replication. EOS’s 0.5 second block replication time is fine for most application in case of all the nodes are located in the same datacenter. But for truly distributed protocol, this requires to be increased due to increased network latency. CyberWay supposes the block replication time to be 3 seconds.<h2 id="block-producers">Block Producers</h2>Block producers are the key members of a protocol. They keep the database safe and consistent and get rewarded for that.Inspite of EOS’s 21 default block producers, in CyberWay the number of block producers is to be increased up to 101 in the future. This is required for more decentralization to be achieved.<h2 id="consensus-algorithm">Consensus Algorithm</h2>CyberWay consensus algorithm is heavily inspired by Tezos’ and Cosmos’ one. So, active users are rewarded for voting and non-active users are punished for not voting.Every account is allowed to vote for several validators with staked tokens.Block producer’s weigh is determined as follows: w = m / sqrt(S), where m is a number of votes for any particular candidate, S is a total number of votes for any particular candidate (or number of stakes tokens as 1 vote is 1 token)A particular block producer receives a reward from the emission and redistributes a share of it among his supporters. In case of misbehavior, e.g. a block omission, the block producer as well as his supporters are fined. The staked tokens are burned. This novelty makes block producers more responsible, and voters more careful and thoughtful.The block producers get a share of emission. The share depends on the total amount of staked tokens. The more tokens are staked, the less inflation is. Thus, the CyberWay has in-built incentives for users to participate in governance via voting. Moreover, the passive users are diluted as they do not get any rewards from validators.What if some user considers another user to understand better, which block producer is the best service provider? This gets covered by CyberWay with a proxy mechanism which ensures that some user could delegate his own assets to another user called “Proxy”. The proxy user gets fees for its service.<h2 id="censorship">Censorship</h2>In contrast to EOS, CyberWay completely removes any inequality between the users. There are no privileged accounts, no so-called “Constitution”, no blacklists.<h2 id="workers">Workers</h2>Workers are the mechanism first introducted in BitShares. These are users, who get their issuance share for making improvements for the protocol. The improvement can be registered and referenced by any user, particular improvement to resolve is selected via voting by validators.<h1 id="conslusion">Conslusion</h1>CyberWay is one more fork of EOS, specified to handle more complex applications with more decentralization available. Workers are considered to be the most powerful tool for decentralized protocol improvements. The scalability and performance CyberWay introduces is fine enough for running complex social applications or financial service apllications or gaming applications. The absence of censorship and priveledged accounts makes CyberWay even more decentralized, which is coming in the next blog post.

Staking How to delegate Cosmos Atoms using Lunie wallet

Lunie (previous name “Voyager”) is an official audited web wallet and UI for interacting with the Cosmos Hub. The process of sending, staking and redelegating atoms could be done in a simple and secure way. Lunie will not ask for your private keys or seed phrases. To interact with it you need to have Ledger device. Following this two-step guide will not take more than 5-10 minutes.<blockquote>Note: If you participated in the fundraiser, you should be in possession of a 12-word mnemonic. When setting up a Ledger wallet, enter the seed phrase to access your digital assets obtained through an ICO. We advise you to connect a new Ledger device, in case of replacing the seed phrase on the working device, all data will be overwritten.</blockquote><h2 id="step-1-set-up-your-ledger">Step 1.
