The Revenue module manages validator compensation based on performance metrics and payment schedules.

​
Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
reward_assetstringToken denomination used for compensation payments
reward_quoteobjectQuotation of the reward asset with amount and asset fields
blocks_performance_requirementobjectPerformance thresholds for block signing
oracle_votes_performance_requirementobjectPerformance thresholds for oracle vote submissions
payment_schedule_typeobjectType of payment schedule (monthly, block-based, or empty)
twap_windowint64Time window in seconds for calculating asset price averages

​
Reward Quote

  • amount: USD value of compensation for validators with 100% performance
  • asset: The name of the quote asset (e.g., “USD”)

​
Performance Requirements

  • allowed_to_miss: Maximum miss rate for full rewards (0.0-1.0)
  • required_at_least: Minimum performance threshold (0.0-1.0)

​
Queries

Response:
  • stats: Performance metrics and revenue calculation for the validator

​
QueryValidatorsStats

Retrieve performance metrics for all validators. Response:
  • stats: Array of validator performance metrics

​

​
Events

​
revenue_distribution

Emitted when revenue is successfully distributed to a validator. Attributes:
  • validator: Validator operator address
  • revenue_amount: Amount of revenue distributed
  • performance_rating: Validator’s performance rating
  • in_active_valset_for_blocks_in_period: Number of blocks validator was in active set
  • committed_blocks_in_period: Number of blocks committed by validator
  • committed_oracle_votes_in_period: Number of oracle votes provided by validator
  • total_block_in_period: Total number of blocks in the payment period
  • effective_period_progress: Current payment period progress

​
revenue_distribution_error

Emitted when revenue distribution fails for a validator. Attributes:
  • validator: Validator operator address
  • payment_failure: Error message describing the failure
  • revenue_amount: Amount that failed to be distributed

​
revenue_distribution_none

Emitted when no revenue is distributed due to zero period revenue. Attributes:
  • revenue_amount: Zero revenue amount
  • effective_period_progress: Current payment period progress

​
Key Concepts

  • Performance-Based: Compensation based on validator performance metrics
  • Payment Schedules: Configurable payment periods (monthly or block-based)
  • TWAP Calculation: Uses Time-Weighted Average Price for asset valuation
  • Treasury Funding: Requires funding for validator compensation
  • Governance Updates: Parameters can only be updated through governance proposals
