StaFi Validator Incentive Program

Detailed information 

Currently, StaFi has opened a limited number of seats for nominators, and many validators who have contributed a lot to StaFi are still in the waiting list. To make up for that, the StaFi team launched a nomination incentive program to motivate validators who have made significant contributions. In the initial issuance of FIS, the StaFi team has allocated up to 40% of FIS in order to pay for those community members. For example, the rewards for Phase1 of Sitara incentive testnet and StakingDrop will be taken from this allocation. Team will roll out more campaigns including StakingDrop or DevelopmentDrop to help the community grow. The token incentives for outstanding validators were also from the community incentives.

Nomination rules 

Team favor those validators who

1. Actively participated in the Sitara incentive test network
2. Are willing to speak up and answer others’ questions in the community
3. Have experience in node operation
4. Attracted many votes from a lot of nominators, even in the waiting list

Team may not consider a validator who

1. Is currently running multiple nodes, out of which at least one has been elected.
2. Got the nomination from too many nominators than what was allowed (A validator can be nominated by up to 256 nominators currently.)

Withdrawal of nomination

Team select and nominate outstanding validators to facilitate the development of StaFi. Therefore, team will withdraw the nomination even by the end of one cycle when a validator:

1. Whose network is very unstable, fails to sign or drops out multiple times.
2. Performs double-signature or multi-signature.
3. Attacks the StaFi network.
