Question

Answer

Would it be useful to provide a getter that will tell the user what the rewards amount will be if they unstake now?

whats your opinion on a getter get_staking_rewards(pubkey, amount) returning a breakdown of the rewards and principle..

I would make it more generic and not pass the amount. Also we may need to add staked tokens in get_balance. Let me spec it. (Still TBD?)

stakefio, unstakefio is bundled, what is the fee when the bundle count is expired?

TBD: do some analysis of the finished implementation and come up with recommend.

What are the specific logistics of daily_staking_rewards, and total_staking_rewards?

The daily_staking_rewards should only be used to understand if tokens for staking rewards needs to be minted. Both the total and the daily should be incremented together in synchrony otherwise.

do we need to have the Rate of Exchange (ROE) stored in state. We can compute it when needed, it looks like everywhere we need it we are reading the state table with the info anyway, so its just a divide computation to arrive at the value.

its fine to use the values that make up this value and compute it on the fly as needed and not store it in state.

What are the units of SRP. should we come up with a units of SRP for this, i also would like to understand if theres any decimal resolution necessary for SRPs (similar to SUFs)..

lets call them SUS (smallest units SRP) and lets use 9 decimals just as we do SUFs.

When a user performs multiple stakings, lets say day one they stake 200 FIO, day 2 they stake 100 FIO, then they call unstake on 250 FIO. is it safe to assume that unstaking will perform logic that looks for the longest duration staking and apply that ROE for the amount to unstake, perform that unstake, then go to the next staking event and apply the remained to that event, and so on until all of the desired amount is unstaked, the final stake will need to be “adapted” so as to remain accurate, in this case the day 2 stake will need adapted to become 50 FIO instead of the original 100.

we just store SRPs which are computed when we stake, these are additively recorded upon staking, and decremented upon unsticking.

we also store the total number of FIO which are staked per account, these are also additively recorded upon staking a dn decremented upon unstaking.

so we need two numbers stored by account total_SRPs and total_staked_fio.

The FIP will be reviewed with this in mind and we will attempt to clarify this at the FIP level.

Some clarity is needed regarded what to do when there are locked tokens (Mainnet locks, and general locks)

if an account has genesis locked tokens or General (FIP-6) locks are they prohibited from staking?

Accounts are never prohibited from staking.

if the account has main net locked tokens, then the user may stake and unstake the unlocked portion of those tokens in that account (all unlocked tokens are eligible for staking, and should stake and unstake as expected).

if the account has general locked tokens, then the user may stake and unstake the unlocked portion of those tokens in the account (all unlocked tokens are eligible for staking, and should stake and unstake as expected).

the FIP will be examined to see if clarification can be added.

RAM increment amounts are not specified for the actions in this FIP please add details for RAM increment amounts

these will be computed during development, and updated into the FIP a place holder will be added for this.

Add a line in the implementation of actions to check for max FIO transaction size exceeded.

this will be added to the FIP

...

  • When user unstakes FIO Tokens, the TPID attached to the unstake action receives 10% of the difference between tokens being unstaked and FIO Tokens received as a result of SRP to FIO Token conversion. If no TPID is provided, the 10% remains undistributed.

Requirement:

...

  • we must enforce this business rule.

TPIDs will receive a percentage of the Fees AND part of staking rewards.

  • When user unstakes FIO Tokens, the TPID attached to the unstake action receives 10% of the difference between tokens being unstaked and FIO Tokens received as a result of SRP to FIO Token conversion. If no TPID is provided, the 10% remains undistributed.

Requirement: If auto proxy is used in the staking call, the code should not fail voting checks if this is the first call using tpid (when the auto proxy is being established IN the staking call).

  • we must enforce this business rule.

  • Main net (genesis) locks functional testing

  • APPROACH --

    • The approach is to cover the required regression testing as efficiently as possible, transfer fio pub key, voting for producers, staking and unstakingre are the critical calls , requiring testing (and the grant amounts need to be very large grants in the 10s of M in fio), these calls need to be tested so as to ensure overflow errors are not present, and that the proper unlocking is performed by the system according to the schedule. For QA testing it will be important to create test accounts that have been granted the largest and smallest scale of FIO genesis grants (is this 100M and 1M), then test these grants in various ways throughout the unlocking periods.

    • The FIO Protocol will need needs to be set up to have a shorted unlocking period for testing, this will provide efficient time utilization.

    • set the system unlocking period to be a new pre-determined interval (10-20 minutes)

    • load the system with genesis grants that match closely the genesis grants provided at FIO launch

      • at least have a few that use the same scale of locked token values (hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions)

      • perhaps have an account directed at each test case identified.

    • regression test unlocking of genesis grants. (transfer and vote must both be tested to verify they unlock properly after being called)

      • tactic one – skip unlock periods, verify proper unlocking when periods are skipped.

      • tactic two – unlock every period sometime after the unlock

      • tactic three – wait until all unlocking periods pass then transfer or vote.

      • tactic four – error testing.

        • verify that transfers fail with more than the unlocked amount specified.

        • other error scenarios.

      • tactic five – no action scenarios

        • vote multiple times in a row, note that no unlocking occurs on subsequent unlocks.

    • regression test staking and unstaking during unlocking periods.

      • perform stake and unstake

      • shorten the 7 day unlock period on unstake to some pre-determined test duration.

      • perform transfers both before and after the unstaking lock period is expired.

      • error scenarios

      verify staking and unstaking failures

    • inadequate unlocked funds.

    • cannot unstake more than has been staked.

      • more…

      (in the current staking branch for fio.contracts, the current time set for genesis locking periods is 2 minutes.)

    • The fio.test repository should cnfigure the index.js so that the only test to be run is the test stake-mainnet-locked-tokens.js

    • init a dev local test environment by running the 20_debug_staking.sh during chain startup. (the dev branch for staking is already set up to run this script during startup)

    • When the chain is initialized. IMMEDIATELY run the rpm test to run these tests.

    • expected results, the tests will run and the later tests MAY experience a duplicate tx error, this is OK as long as duplicate TX error is the only error you see.

    • these tests run minimal staking tests on the genesis locked token account and they are NOT meant to test token unlocking.

  • Testing Genesis locked token grant unlocking.

    • pre-test setup (not completed yet)

      • set up the 20_debug_staking.sh script to create 2 new locked token accounts

        • one with 1M

        • Test Suite 1 – basic unlock using transfer.

          • unlock funds on both accounts by calling transfer every 2 minutes, and verifying the proper amount is unlocked at each unlock period.

        • Test Suite 2 – basic unlock using vote prducers

          • unlock funds on both accounts by calling vote producers every 2 minutes, and verifying the proper amount is unlocked at each unlock period.

        • Test Suite 3 – intermittent unlocking using transfer

          • unlock at period 3 only then wait for the end of all locks and unlock again using transfer, verify proper amounts are unlocked.

        • Test Suite 5 – intermittent unlocking using voting

          • unlock at period 3 only then wait for the end of all locks and unlock again using vote producers, verify proper amounts are unlocked.
