Distribution
Token reward distribution is a key component of the River Network to align incentives between Node Operators and the goals of the network.
Inflation Schedule
The first year’s inflation of RVR token derives from the existing supply. Subsequent inflation occurs annually, starting at 8% and tapering to 2% after 20 years, per the predefined inflation schedule.
Token Inflation
Inflation is faciliated thorugh the createInflation()
function callable by the DAO on Ethereum Mainnet up to once a year. This function mints the annual allocation of tokens and send them a designated contract on Ethereum Mainnet.
Token Bridging
The aforementioned designated contract automatically bridges the tokens yielded by calling createInflation()
to Base using bridgeERC20To()
function, specifying the Distribution contract address on Base as the destination.
Periodic Distribution
The Distribution contract accumulates the annual rewards and distributes them every two weeks. The distribution, representing 1/26 of the annual supply, is allocated to active operators and delegators from that period via the distribute()
function.
Allocation
At launch, distributions will be allocated equally amongst all approved active Node Operators. Each operator will receive their commission they specified when registering in the Node Operator Registry contract.
The remainder net of commission will be divided pro-rata amongst all the delegators who delegating to that operator for the entire period.
