Hello Akashians,

We’re PrithviDevs and we’re announcing the Akash Delegator Reward Program where, the primary objective of this delegation program is to help delegators to engage more with the community, in addition to supporting smaller validators and network contributors.

Founder of Terra Money, Do Kwon, insisting holders to delegate to smaller validators and increase decentralization

Background

We’re a developer group, focused on building decentralized applications & contribute not only by providing web3 infrastructure but also add value by working with multiple networks & their communities. We have 2+years of experience in developing distributed applications, along with that we worked with most of the ecosystem projects like

  • OmniFlix Network: NFT based p2p media network
  • Comdex: Decentralized commodity exchange with maximizing transparency, efficiency, and immutability

… along with other independent projects.

This experience helped us to operate testnets, and mainnets of few projects, and based on this we started our journey towards exploring other networks within the ecosystem.

Journey with Akash

We closely follow and develop apps in the Cosmos community from the very beginning. We prioritized and believed in it even further in ~2018 when Greg Osuri tweeted about Jack Zampolin joining Akash.

We have gone through Akash Net’s technical details on Disco, Akash n/w at that time along with the idea of DeCloud.

This is where we started our journey with Akash Net in the Founders Challenge-1 and from there with the community support, we now run an active validator, the PrithviDevs Validator, securing Akash Net. This is our first network to participate as a mainnet validator.

Launch of the Delegator Reward Program

giving back to our community of supporters

Delegators are one of the key stakeholders that help secure the network and their active participation in governance, leads to spectacular community decisions leading the entire network to progressively decentralize.

Using this as the frame of reference, we decided to introduce the PrithviDevs Validator — Delegator Reward Program that will mutually benefit PrithviDevs Validator, our delegators & the wider Akash community. It will help delegators to earn extra rewards based on their delegation amount if they delegated to PrithviDevs.

The following differentiates PrithviDevs from other validators

For this, we as PrithviDevs launching a delegator reward programmer with 1.8% rewards of our validator.

  • This means, our delegators will earn extra 1.8% rewards apart from their original delegation rewards (per block rewards, after the validator commission) per Year.
  • Max rewards per delegator are 500AKT per Month
  • The distribution of tokens will be the first week of the coming month.
  • A 3months time period starts from March 1st, 2021.

Let us explain with an example:

Delegator Rewards Distribution

Alice delegated to Prithvi 3000 AKT

Bob delegated to Prithvi 88,9705 AKT

Per day rewards earning of Alice: 3000 * 0.0049315 % = 0.148 AKT similarly

Per day rewards earning of Bob: 889705 * 0.0049315 % = 43.88 AKT,

the more you delegate, the more rewards you get.

rewards per month of Alice = 0.148 * 30 = 4.438 AKT

rewards per month of Bob = 43.88 * 30 = 1316.27 AKT

We send 4.438 AKT to Alice, 500 AKT to Bob (max delegation reward per month). As you see, the primary objective of this program is to mutually support validator and delegators.

Early rewards to delegators

After the Twitter post on 16th, we have received a huge response from our community, so for this reason we decided to give rewards to early delegators, who delegated between the 16th to 25th. They will receive the rewards (1.8% per year) from PrithviDevs based on their delegation amount. The distribution of early rewards to delegators on 27th Feb.

In addition to that, we provide a Monthly report about your everyday earning rewards and distribute the tokens on the 5th before 1500UTC of each month...

You can track your Monthly rewards through,

In the future, we will decide whether to extend or not and more innovative programs that will help both delegators and validators along with the community.

Finally, we hope this will help delegators/validators to actively contribute to the community towards decentralization.
