DELEGATORS

Delegators are ORBS token holders who assign their voting weight (stake) to Guardians, empowering them to maintain security and uphold the long term vision of the ecosystem.

Stake your ORBS tokens!

Roles and Responsibilities

Actively contribute to the network’s success by staking your ORBS tokens. Read these instructions on how to stake using the Orbs Tetra wallet
Select a worthy Guardian to delegate your voting power to
Staked tokens will be locked for a period of 14 days. Read more on the Orbs locking mechanism

Economic Incentives

Token holders that delegate to an active Guardian are rewarded in proportion to their stake
Annual reward is up to 8% of the Delegator’s staked tokens (subject to an 80M Orbs Token cap on total rewards). Find out more about the Orbs reward system.
Only delegation to an active Guardian that participates in the elected committee receives rewards. Also, it is important to note that staking rewards may vary between Guardians, so choose your Guardian carefully!

GUARDIANS

Orbs Guardians represent the Orbs community; they maintain the security of the network and uphold its long term vision, investing time and efforts in the network success.

Roles and Responsibilities

Guardians operate the Orbs network nodes and run the virtual chains for the subscribed applications.
Guardians are responsible for the staking rewards distribution to their community of delegators
Orbs is a hybrid blockchain, utilizing Ethereum for added security and transparency of the Orbs PoS ecosystem. Thus, Orbs Guardians are required to run an Ethereum node.
Guardians have an option to be part of the Certified Committee and operate virtual chains that require certified Guardians. Certified Committee members are eligible for added incentives.
Guardians are expected to be committed to their communities and their Delegators’ staked tokens. Therefore, Guardians are required to have a self-stake of at least 8% of their total delegated stake

Economic Incentives

Applications running virtual chains on Orbs pay fees directly to the Guardians, representing the cost of the computational resources allocated to the virtual chain.
Guardians receive staking rewards of at least 4% of their delegated stake (subject to an 80M Orbs Token cap on total rewards), for operating the network and contributing to the network’s security.
Guardians who choose to participate in the Certified Committee receive a bootstrap fund distributed in DAI
