On September 30, 2020, Orbs network rewards distribution occurred, as described in the following post.

The Process

Rewards are continuously calculated on the Orbs network; click here for the details. The rewards include Participation (delegation), Guardian Excellency and Validators Rewards.

Starting with election 144 only tokens staked in the updated staking contract participate in the Orbs PoS. For more information on the staking mechanism, see: https://www.orbs.com/introducing-the-new-orbs-locking-mechanism/.

To distribute the rewards to the staking contract, a dedicated Ethereum-deployed contract is used - 0xB52daF3f853bF570814d6AeA1ec7BFF30339BD0c

This contract was loaded with the tokens to be distributed and configured with hashes of transaction batches (the transactions are sent in batches due to gas limitations of the Ethereum platform). The transaction batches themselves were then sent to the contract, which disbursed the rewards.

Rewards displayed

The distributed rewards are displayed in the Hedron UI: https://orbs-network.github.io/voting/reward
