Staking on Polimec Protocol

Parachains like Polimec can benefit from Polkadot’s security architecture by introducing collators. Akin to validators on the Relay Chain, in parachain networks, collators play a critical role in maintaining the parachain’s functionality by aggregating transactions from users on the parachain and generating state transition proofs for Relay Chain validators.

For this purpose, collators maintain a full node for the Polkadot Relay Chain and another one for the corresponding parachain. This enables collators to retain all necessary information to author new blocks and execute transactions. In the normal course of operations, transactions are collated and executed to produce an unsealed block, which is furnished, along with a proof-of-validity (PoV), to one or multiple validators responsible for proposing a parachain block.

Relationship between the Polimec’s parachain and Polkadot Relay Chain.

Similar to Nominated proof-of-stake (NPoS), where DOT holders can participate as nominators, Polimec’s delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS) mechanism enables PLMC holders to act as delegators. By delegating PLMC to collators, delegators are eligible to receive rewards in PLMC in return. This process, referred to as staking, closely mirrors the procedure for DOT holders on the Relay Chain. During staking PLMC, a staking lock is activated, restricting transfers, evaluations, and participation in projects using the staked PLMC.

Staking rewards for collators and their delegators are paid out in PLMC on a round-by-round basis. The effective staking rewards rate is determined by the amount of PLMC staked in relation to the total supply. The more PLMC staked, the less staking rewards per staked PLMC.

Block Time: ~12 seconds
Minimum Delegation: 50 PLMC*
First Rewards Payout Delay: ~12 hours (3,600 blocks or 2 rounds)
Round Duration/Rewards Payout Frequency: ~6 hours (1,800 blocks)
Rewards Payout: 90% to delegators and 10% to collators
Unstaking Period: ~168 hours/7 days (50,400 blocks or 28 rounds)
Maximum Delegators per Collator: 300

Historical Rewards Rate (HRR): Weighted average rewards rate of last round’s active collator set. PLMC Supply Staked: Amount of PLMC staked in relation to the total supply of PLMC.
