Epoch Based Operations

1. Finality Tracking

• Block Producer records voter data in FastFinalityTracking.
• If no snapshot exists for the period:
  • FastFinalityTracking takes a staking snapshot via Staking and normalizes data.
  • Voter scores are accumulated for the epoch based on snapshot data.

2. Slashing Mechanism

• Block Producer reports block missing validator to SlashIndicator.
• Verification:
  • Validator’s block producer status (RoninValidatorSet).
  • Validator’s maintenance status (Maintenance).
• Actions:
  • Logs missed blocks for eligible validators.
  • Executes slashing when thresholds are met via RoninValidatorSet.

3. Reward Distribution

• Block Producer submits block fees to RoninValidatorSet.
• Reward Flow:
  • Bonus rewards for block production are requested via StakingVesting.
  • Rewards are distributed between validators and delegators based on the commission rate.

Key Insights

• Efficiency: Tracks finality, distributes rewards, and enforces penalties consistently.
• Accountability: Maintains validator performance through slashing.
• Incentives: Encourages participation with bonus and commission-based rewards.
