Introduction

介绍

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 是行业领先的区块链平台，准备开始其备受期待的质押过渡的第二阶段。这一阶段标志着 Flare 发展的一个重要里程碑，向所有网络参与者开放验证者质押，并将验证和去中心化数据提供的角色合并起来。

Staking Phase 1 Recap

质押第一阶段回顾

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 成功开始向权益证明共识模型过渡。在这个初始阶段，Flare 基金会战略性地向 33 个独立 FTSO 数据提供商的验证者节点抵押预定的 FLR 自债券金额，让它们成为首个官方基础设施提供商。这最初的一批加入了现有的 20 名专业验证者，将验证者总数扩大到了 53 名。

Flare Improvement Proposal 05

火炬改进提案 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.

为了促进 Stake 第二阶段的实施，Flare 基金会通过 Flare 改进提案：FIP.05 提出了关于关键 Stake 服务、Stake 参数、奖励分配和管理组扩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，社区以 92.02% 的压倒性票数支持了该提案。因此，网络将在 9 月晚些时候（具体日期待确认）进行硬分叉，以纳入这些关键变化。

Inflation Adjustments

通胀调整

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% 的通胀奖励分配给 FTSO 系统内的参与者（FTSO 提供商和社区委托人）。剩余的 20% 分配给网络验证者。

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这一比例，将验证者奖励增加到 30%，从而建立了 70/30 的新比例。此次调整旨在进一步激励 P-Chain 质押参与者，同时补偿强制锁定期。

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.

基础设施提供商角色的第三个方面是为状态连接器提供证明。这一角色以及通货膨胀分配的任何随之而来的变化将在稍后推出。对与 State Connector 证明角色相关的通货膨胀分配的任何潜在修改都将受到随后的治理投票的影响。

Staking Phase 2

质押阶段 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.

第 2 阶段解锁对 Flare 上任何现有 FTSO 数据提供商或任何在网络上建立 FTSO 数据服务并获得 FTSO 奖励后渴望成为验证者的实体的验证。在基础设施提供商有资格获得验证奖励之前，此先决条件是一个关键要求。

Understanding Staking Mechanics

了解质押机制

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

理解 Flare 由三个不同的链组成是至关重要的：

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 链：以太坊虚拟机 (EVM) 的主机，目前绝大多数社区都在其中进行交互，包括 WFLR 委托给 FTSO 提供商。 P 链：基础设施提供商通过自绑定和一般性进行质押的场所X-Chain：促进快速、直接的货币交易，目前尚未使用。基础设施提供商必须在 P-Chain 上向其验证者发布至少 100 万个 FLR 代币的自抵押，并且保持至少 80% 的正常运行时间，以保持获得验证者奖励池的资格。自担保金额的最短锁定期为 60 天，最长为一年。

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.

基础设施提供商将对其验证服务收取费用，并将剩余的验证奖励分配给将权益委托给验证者的其他参与者。每个验证人的最大委托权益上限为自抵押金额的 15 倍。例如，如果自绑定为 5M FLR，则最大可委托权益为 5M x 15 = 75M FLR。即使自抵押金额较大，每个验证者自抵押和委托权益的总和也不能超过 2 亿 FLR。 P-Chain 上不能创建超过 2 亿 FLR 阈值的新质押头寸。

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

基础设施提供商可以运行最多四 (4) 个链接到其单个 FTSO 实体的验证器节点。

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.

社区参与者可以将 FLR 质押委托给任何选定的验证者，但最低质押委托金额为 50,000 FLR，委托质押代币的最短锁定期为两周。当他们的验证者被添加到系统中时，每个基础设施提供商都会指定一个质押费用和相关的锁定期。权益委托人可以在验证人的自绑定窗口内定义自己的锁定期。质押委托人必须在锁定期到期或首选验证人的自债券到期时（以先发生者为准）重新委托其质押。最初，基础设施提供商设定的质押费用将是固定的，并且在验证者自己的自抵押质押参数到期之前无法更改。

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.

总之，社区保留了继续委托给 C 链上的 FTSO 数据提供商以获得 FTSO 奖励的灵活性，或者选择将权益委托给 P 链上的验证者来获得验证奖励。然而，在第二阶段，使用相同的代币同时在两个系统上赚取奖励是不可行的。

Community Participation in Staking

社区参与质押

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.

社区可以通过目前正在开发的用户界面在 P-Chain 上启动质押交易，该用户界面计划在 10 月份公开启动质押后发布。

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.

第二阶段的质押奖励将使用公开供社区审查和验证的算法脚本在链外计算。验证奖励将通过C-Chain上的验证者奖励合约进行分配。

Eligibility for FlareDrops and Governance

FlareDrops 的资格和治理

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.

将质押委托给 P-Chain 上的验证者的参与者将通过镜像服务（智能合约）将其金额反映在 C-Chain 上，从而允许质押的代币金额继续有资格获得每月 FlareDrops 和参与治理投票事宜。这也适用于整个第二阶段验证者的自保证金金额。

Infrastructure Provider Management Group (IPMG)

基础设施提供商管理小组 (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.

该网络机构以前称为 FTSO 管理集团，由基础设施提供商组成，充当宝贵的网络安全层和社区保护机制。

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.

该网络旨在抵御重大共谋攻击，但 IPMG 通过主动识别潜在的数据共谋或克隆算法、促进与所有相关方进行公开透明的讨论以及以去中心化的方式对决议进行投票，进一步降低了这些风险。

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

作为 FIP.05 的一部分，社区批准将 IPMG 扩展至整个第 2 阶段。

Staking Phase 3

质押阶段 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 链和 C 链之间建立安全通信，质押奖励将完全在链上管理。最终目标是让质押在 P 链上的资金享受与 C 链上的 FLR 包装相同的特权，从而有可能获得 FTSO 奖励、FlareDrops 并参与治理。
