Introduction

介紹

Flare Network, an industry-leading blockchain platform, is poised to embark on the second phase of its highly anticipated staking transition. This phase marks a significant milestone in Flare's evolution, opening up validator staking to all network participants and merging the roles of validation and decentralized data provision.

Flare Network 是業界領先的區塊鏈平台，準備開始其備受期待的質押過渡的第二階段。這一階段標誌著 Flare 發展的一個重要里程碑，向所有網路參與者開放驗證者質押，並將驗證和去中心化資料提供的角色合併起來。

Staking Phase 1 Recap

質押第一階段回顧

In July 2023, Flare successfully commenced its transition to a proof-of-stake consensus model. This initial phase witnessed the Flare Foundation strategically staking a predetermined FLR self-bond amount to validator nodes of 33 independent FTSO data providers, onboarding them as the maiden official infrastructure providers. This initial cohort joined the existing 20 professional validators, expanding the total validator set to a robust 53.

2023 年 7 月，Flare 成功開始向權益證明共識模型過渡。在這個初始階段，Flare 基金會策略性地向 33 個獨立 FTSO 資料提供者的驗證者節點抵押預定的 FLR 自債券金額，讓它們成為首個官方基礎設施提供者。這最初的一批加入了現有的 20 名專業驗證者，將驗證者總數擴大到了 53 名。

Flare Improvement Proposal 05

火炬改進提案 05

To facilitate the implementation of Staking Phase 2, the Flare Foundation proposed a comprehensive array of updates regarding key staking services, staking parameters, rewards distribution, and Management Group extension via Flare Improvement Proposal: FIP.05.

為了促進 Stake 第二階段的實施，Flare 基金會透過 Flare 改進提案：FIP.05 提出了關於關鍵 Stake 服務、Stake 參數、獎勵分配和管理組擴展的一系列全面更新。

The community resoundingly endorsed the proposal on September 8, 2023, with an overwhelming 92.02% of the votes cast in favor. Consequently, the network will proceed with a hard fork later in September—the precise date to be confirmed—to incorporate these crucial changes.

2023 年 9 月 8 日，社區以 92.02% 的壓倒性票數支持了該提案。因此，網路將在 9 月晚些時候（具體日期待確認）進行硬分叉，以納入這些關鍵變化。

Inflation Adjustments

通膨調整

Presently, 80% of the inflationary rewards on Flare are distributed to participants within the FTSO system (FTSO providers and community delegators). The remaining 20% is allocated to network validators.

目前，Flare 80% 的通膨獎勵分配給 FTSO 系統內的參與者（FTSO 提供者和社區委託人）。剩餘的 20% 分配給網路驗證者。

FIP.05's approval subtly modifies this ratio, increasing validator rewards to 30%, thereby establishing a new ratio of 70/30. This adjustment serves to further incentivize P-Chain staking participants while compensating for the mandatory lockup periods.

FIP.05 的批准巧妙地修改了這一比例，將驗證者獎勵增加到 30%，從而建立了 70/30 的新比例。此調整旨在進一步激勵 P-Chain 質押參與者，同時補償強制鎖定期。

The third aspect of the infrastructure provider role is attestation provision for the State Connector. This role, along with any concomitant changes to the allocation of inflation, will be introduced at a later date. Any potential modifications to the inflation apportionment associated with the State Connector attestation role will be subject to a subsequent governance vote.

基礎設施提供者角色的第三個方面是為狀態連接器提供證明。這一角色以及通貨膨脹分配的任何隨之而來的變化將在稍後推出。對與 State Connector 證明角色相關的通貨膨脹分配的任何潛在修改都將受到隨後的治理投票的影響。

Staking Phase 2

質押階段 2

Phase 2 unlocks validation for any existing FTSO data provider on Flare or any entity aspiring to become a validator after establishing an FTSO data service on the network and earning FTSO rewards. This prerequisite serves as a critical requirement before an infrastructure provider can qualify for validation rewards.

階段 2 解鎖 Flare 上任何現有 FTSO 資料提供者或任何在網路上建立 FTSO 資料服務並獲得 FTSO 獎勵後渴望成為驗證者的實體的驗證。在基礎設施提供者有資格獲得驗證獎勵之前，此先決條件是一個關鍵要求。

Understanding Staking Mechanics

了解質押機制

It is pivotal to comprehend that Flare comprises three distinct chains:

理解 Flare 由三個不同的鏈組成是至關重要的：

1. C-Chain: The host of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), where the vast majority of the community currently interacts, including WFLR delegation to FTSO providers.
2. P-Chain: The locus of staking for both Infrastructure Providers via self-bonding and general participants through delegating stake to validators.
3. X-Chain: Facilitates swift, straightforward monetary transactions and remains unused at this time.

Infrastructure providers must post a minimum self-bond of 1 million FLR tokens on the P-Chain to their validator(s) and maintain an uptime of at least 80% to remain eligible for the validator reward pool. The minimum lockup period for their self-bond amount ranges from 60 days to a maximum of one year.

C 鏈：以太坊虛擬機 (EVM) 的主機，目前絕​​大多數社區都在其中進行交互，包括 WFLR 委託給 FTSO 提供者。 X-Chain：促進快速、直接的貨幣交易，目前尚未使用。時間，以保持獲得驗證者獎勵池的資格。自擔保金額的最短鎖定期為 60 天，最長為一年。

Infrastructure providers will levy a fee for their validation services and distribute the remaining validation rewards among other participants who delegate stake to their validator(s). The maximum delegated stake per validator is capped at 15 times the self-bond amount. For instance, with a self-bond of 5M FLR, the maximum delegable stake is 5M x 15 = 75M FLR. Even with larger self-bond amounts, the combined total of self-bond and delegated stake cannot exceed 200M FLR per validator. No new stake positions on P-Chain surpassing this 200M FLR threshold can be created.

基礎設施提供者將對其驗證服務收取費用，並將剩餘的驗證獎勵分配給將權益委託給驗證者的其他參與者。每位驗證人的最大委託權益上限為自抵押金額的 15 倍。例如，如果自綁定為 5M FLR，則最大可委託權益為 5M x 15 = 75M FLR。即使自抵押金額較大，每位驗證者自抵押和委託權益的總和也不能超過 2 億 FLR。 P-Chain 上無法創造超過 2 億 FLR 門檻的新質押部位。

Infrastructure providers are permitted to operate up to four (4) validator nodes linked to their single FTSO entity.

基礎設施提供者可以運行最多四 (4) 個連結到其單一 FTSO 實體的驗證器節點。

Community participants can delegate FLR stake to any chosen validator, subject to a minimum stake delegation amount of 50,000 FLR and a minimum lockup period of two weeks for delegated staked tokens. Each infrastructure provider will specify a staking fee and associated lockup period when their validator is added to the system. Stake delegators can define their own lockup period within the validator's self-bond window. Stake delegators must re-delegate their stake upon the expiration of a lockup period or when their preferred validator's self-bond expires, whichever occurs first. Initially, the staking fee set by infrastructure providers will be fixed and cannot be altered until the validator's own self-bonded stake parameter expires.

社群參與者可以將 FLR 質押委託給任何選定的驗證者，但最低質押委託金額為 50,000 FLR，委託質押代幣的最短鎖定期為兩週。當他們的驗證者被添加到系統中時，每個基礎設施提供者都會指定一個質押費用和相關的鎖定期。權益委託人可以在驗證人的自綁定視窗內定義自己的鎖定期。質押委託人必須在鎖定期到期或首選驗證人的自債券到期時（以先發生者為準）重新委託其質押。最初，基礎設施提供者設定的質押費用將是固定的，並且在驗證者自己的自抵押質押參數到期之前無法更改。

In summary, the community retains the flexibility to continue delegating to FTSO data providers on the C-Chain to earn FTSO rewards or opt to delegate stake to validators on P-Chain to earn validation rewards. However, it is not feasible to utilize the same tokens to earn rewards on both systems concurrently during Phase 2.

總之，社群保留了繼續委託給 C 鏈上的 FTSO 資料提供者以獲得 FTSO 獎勵的靈活性，或選擇將權益委託給 P 鏈上的驗證者來獲得驗證獎勵。然而，在第二階段，使用相同的代幣同時在兩個系統上賺取獎勵是不可行的。

Community Participation in Staking

社區參與質押

The community can initiate staking transactions on P-Chain via a user interface currently under development and scheduled for release upon the public launch of staking in October.

社群可以透過目前正在開發的用戶介面在 P-Chain 上啟動質押交易，該用戶介面計劃在 10 月公開啟動質押後發布。

Staking rewards in Phase 2 will be calculated off-chain using an algorithm script publicly available for community review and verification. Validation rewards will be distributed through the validator rewards contract on C-Chain.

第二階段的質押獎勵將使用公開供社群審查和驗證的演算法腳本在鏈外計算。驗證獎勵將透過C-Chain上的驗證者獎勵合約進行分配。

Eligibility for FlareDrops and Governance

FlareDrops 的資格與治理

Participants who delegate stake to validators on P-Chain will have their amounts reflected on C-Chain through a mirroring service (smart contract), allowing staked token amounts to continue qualifying for monthly FlareDrops and participation in governance voting matters. This will also apply to validator self-bond amounts throughout Phase 2.

將質押委託給P-Chain 上的驗證者的參與者將透過鏡像服務（智能合約）將其金額反映在C-Chain 上，從而允許質押的代幣金額繼續有資格獲得每月FlareDrops 和參與治理投票事務。這也適用於整個第二階段驗證者的自保證金金額。

Infrastructure Provider Management Group (IPMG)

基礎設施提供者管理小組 (IPMG)

Formerly known as the FTSO Management Group, this network body comprises infrastructure providers and serves as an invaluable network security layer and community protection mechanism.

該網路機構以前稱為 FTSO 管理集團，由基礎設施提供者組成，充當寶貴的網路安全層和社區保護機制。

The network is designed to withstand significant collusion attacks, but the IPMG further mitigates these risks by proactively identifying potential data collusion or cloned algorithms, facilitating open and transparent discussions with all involved parties, and voting on resolutions in a decentralized manner.

該網路旨在抵禦重大共謀攻擊，但IPMG 透過主動識別潛在的資料共謀或克隆演算法、促進與所有相關方進行公開透明的討論以及以去中心化的方式對決議進行投票，進一步降低了這些風險。

The community approved the extension of the IPMG throughout Phase 2 as part of FIP.05.

作為 FIP.05 的一部分，社群批准將 IPMG 擴展至整個第 2 階段。

Staking Phase 3

質押階段 3

Once secure communication between the P- and C-chains is established, staking rewards will be managed entirely on-chain. The ultimate objective is for funds staked on the P-Chain to enjoy the same privileges as wrapped FLR on the C-Chain, enabling the potential to earn FTSO rewards, FlareDrops, and participate in governance.

一旦 P 鍊和 C 鏈之間建立安全通信，質押獎勵將完全在鏈上管理。最終目標是讓質押在 P 鏈上的資金享受與 C 鏈上的 FLR 包裝相同的特權，從而有可能獲得 FTSO 獎勵、FlareDrops 並參與治理。
