Super Representative

Block producers in the Pollux network also referred to as super representatives, are elected by voting. Any account can apply to become a super representative candidate by paying 9999 POX and then participating in the super representative election. Any account can vote for super representative candidates, and the top 27 candidates with the most votes become super representatives. Super representatives need to run a Pollux node to participate in block production and will also receive block rewards and voting rewards. Voters who vote for super representatives will receive voting rewards.

The super representative candidates ranked 28th to 127th are also called super representative partners. Super representative partners do not participate in block production and packaging transactions, but they will receive voting rewards. Voters who vote for super representative partners will also receive voting rewards.

Voting Right

Before participating in the super representative voting process, every account must acquire voting rights, known as Pollux Power (PP). These voting rights are obtained by staking POX. Beyond securing bandwidth or energy, staking POX concurrently provides voting rights. For each staked 1 POX, the account receives 1 PP.

Upon unstaking the staked POX, the corresponding amount of PP is deducted, rendering ongoing votes invalid. The voting system operates on a 6-hour cycle, with super representatives and super representative partners changing every 6 hours. In case an account casts multiple votes before the vote counting, the Pollux network registers only the latest vote, overwriting any previous votes.

Rewards

In the Pollux network, the production of each block results in a reward of a specific amount of POX for both the super representative and super representative partners. This reward is divided into two distinct parts:

Block Reward: For every block produced, the Pollux network grants 0.05 POX to the super representative responsible for its production. The super representative then allocates the remaining portion to voters based on their voting ratio, after deducting the commission ratio.

Vote Reward: Each block's production triggers a reward of 0.15 POX from the Pollux network, distributed among super representatives and super representative partners in proportion to their votes. The voting rewards acquired by these entities are further distributed to voters based on their voting ratio, minus the applicable commission.

Super Representative Brokerage

The brokerage ratio serves as a deduction percentage applied to rewards received by both super representatives and super representative partners. The default ratio stands at 20%, meaning that 20% of all rewards generated through voter voting is allocated as commission compensation to super representatives or super representative partners. Users in these roles have the capability to check the current brokerage ratio via the wallet/getBrokerage interface. Additionally, they possess the authority to adjust the brokerage ratio through the wallet/update brokerage interface.

Block Reward Calculation

For each block they successfully produce, Super Representatives in the Pollux network are entitled to receive 0.05 POX. Given that the Pollux network generates a block every 3 seconds, the total daily block generation amounts to 1440 POX. With 27 super representatives taking turns to produce blocks and assuming a brokerage ratio of 20%, each super representative's daily block reward equates to 53.33 POX. The calculation formula is expressed as follows:

    Reward = 1440 / 27 * 20%  

The rewards for super representative voters for one day are:

Reward = 1440 / 27 * 80% *（votes / votes obtained by this SR） 

Vote Reward Calculation

In the Pollux network, a voting reward of 0.15 POX is generated for each block's production, resulting in a daily total of 4320 POX. If we assume a brokerage rate of 20% for a Super Representative (SR) or a Super Representative Partner (SRP), the voting reward that an SR or SRP receives for one day is:

Reward = 4320 * votes obtained by the SR or SRP / the total votes of all the SR and SRP  * 20%

The voting rewards for the voters of super representative and super representative partner for one day are:

Reward = 4320 * votes obtained by the SR or SRP / the total votes of all the SR and SRP  * 80% *（ votes /  votes obtained by the SR or SRP ） =  4320 * votes / the total votes of all the SR and SRP  * 80%

Committee And Proposal

The Pollux committee comprises the current 27 super representatives entrusted with overseeing and adjusting dynamic parameters within the Pollux network. These parameters include block rewards, transaction fees, and other crucial aspects. While every super representative, super representative partner, and super representative candidate holds the right to propose modifications to Pollux network parameters, only super representatives are eligible to cast votes.

Proposals within this system operate on a binary voting mechanism, where a "yes" vote signifies agreement with the proposal. In contrast, the absence of a vote from super representatives indicates disagreement. Proposals remain valid for three days from their creation. Throughout this period, super representatives can either vote on the proposal or retract their previous vote. To pass, a proposal must secure 18 or more super representative votes during its validity period. If, by the expiration date, the proposal lacks sufficient votes, it becomes invalid.
