f(x)Core Modules

The various parameters of modules in f(x)Core

Mint module

Variables
Description
Value
Minter inflation variables
​
​
Inflation
Initial annual inflation rate (computation on block basis, the inflation rate of each block are different)
0.35
AnnualProvisions
Annual provision (computation on block basis, the inflation rate of each block are different)
0
​
​
​
Params chain variables
​
​
MintDenom
Name of the newly minted token (dependent on sub-chains)
FX
InflationRateChange
Annual inflation change rate
0.3 (30%)
InflationMax
The maximum annual inflation rate
0.416762 (41.6762%)
InflationMin
The minimum annual inflation rate
0.17 (17%)
GoalBonded
Increment or decrement of the annual inflation rate rule: staking ratio (delegated Token / Total circulating token supply, if current bonded ratio less than GoalBonded, annual inflation rate will increase, until InflationMax; if current bonded ratio = GoalBonded, the inflation rate shall remain; if current bonded ratio higher than GoalBonded, the annual inflation rate will decrease, until InflationMin
0.51 (51%)
BlocksPerYear
Estimated annual newly created block number formula: 60 * 60 * 8766 / 5(average per block in 5 sec)
6,311,520 (5 sec/block)
  • Inflation rate will be computed before each block is being created, formula as follows:
    1. 1.
      Request (call) for Minter value & Params variables
    2. 2.
      Request total bonded token in delegation
    3. 3.
      Request BondedRatio = Total delegated token / Total circulating token supply
    4. 4.
      Computing the inflation rate for next block (Annual inflation rate / 6,311,520)
    This will require Params variable and BondedRatio
    Formula: Latest inflation rate = Current inflation rate + ( (1 - Delegated ratio/ GoalBonded) * InflationRateChange ) / BlocksPerYear
    minter.Inflation cannot exceed maximum value (Params.InflationMax) and minimum value (Params.InflationMin)
    • Computing the next annual inflation provision
    Variables needed: Latest inflation rate and Total circulation token supply
    Formula: minter.AnnualProvisions = Latest inflation rate * Total circulation token supply
  • Computing the number of newly generated/minted token on the next block
    Variables required: Latest inflation provision and estimated annual number of newly minted block
    Number of newly minted token = Latest inflation provision / Estimated annual number of newly minted block
    1. 1.
      Sending the number of token that required to be minted to Mint module address
    2. 2.
      Sending transaction fee from Fee module address to Mint module address (transaction fee)
    Example:
    Assume the variables as follows:
    • Total circulating supply: 378,604,525.462891
    • The number of valid delegated token: 20,000,000
    • Block time: 5 sec / block
    • Initial annual inflation rate: 0.35
    • Annual InflationRateChange: 0.3
    Valid BondedRatio = 20,000,000/378,604,525.462891 = 0.05282557036
    Latest inflation rate minter. Inflation = minter.Inflation + ( (1 - valid delagation rate / GoalBonded) * InflationRateChange)
    The inflation rate of next block:
    0.35 + ( (1 - 0.05282557036/0.51) * 0.3) / 6,311,520 = 0.3500000426
    The provision of inflation rate:
    0.3500000426 * 378,604,525.462891 = 132,511,600.04056464
    The number of newly Mint Token on next block:
    132,511,600.04056464 / 6,311,520 = 20.9951960923
  • The currency in f(x)Core is $FX, the initial supply of $FX is 378,604,525.462891.FX has 18 decimal points
  • Total circulating supply of $FX = Delegated asset $FX + Non-delegated asset $FX
    • Delegated asset $FX = Total $FX that delegated in f(x)Core validator node
    • Non-delegated asset $FX = Ethereum cross chain locked fund + Unclaimed reward of validator (including commission and transaction fee) + Unclaimed reward of delegator + Wallet balance + Pool of ecosystem and community + Locked fund of Governance
    • Ethereum cross chain locked fund = Total $FX (ERC20) on Ethereum

true
  • Block reward and distribution mechanic
    Block reward = Total block verification reward + Transaction fee
    Assume the following: Voting rate is 100% (all valid validator node participates the block verification voting); Total block verification reward per block is 20 FX; and the block reward can be further divided into 3 parts:
    • Part 1: The proposal block reward for block proposer:
      Formula: Total block verification reward * ( base proposal block reward + current block proposer reward * (current voting power of the proposing validator node / total validator voting power)
      The proposal block reward: 20 * (0.01 + 0.04 ) * 1 = 1FX
      The remaining balance of block verification reward per block: 20 - 1 = 19FX
    • Part 2: Block verification reward of all valid validator node
      The verification block reward that belongs to all validator nodes:
      Formula: 1 - Block proposer reward portion - Community and ecosystem pool
      Block verification reward: 1 - 0.05 - 0.4 = 0.55
      Block verification reward of each validator node:
      Formula: Total block verification reward * Block verification reward belongs to validator node * Voting power of the validator node
      Assume the voting power of validator node A is 50%:
      Block verification reward of validator node A: 20 * 0.55 * 0.5 =5.5FX
      Assume the voting power of all validator nodse: 100%:
      Block verification reward belongs to all validator nodes: 20 * 0.55 * 1 = 11FX
    • Part 3: Community and ecosystem pool
      Formula: Total block verification reward - The proposal block reward (part 1) - Block reward for validator node (part 2)
      Block verification reward belongs to community and ecosystem pool: 20 -1 -11 = 8FX
  • The distribution of block reward between validator and delegator
    Delegators need to pay commission fee (if any) to the validator that he/she delegates token to
    Assume: The remaining balance of block reward available to delegator is 2FX; Commission rate is 1%
    • The commission fee of validator:
      Formula: The remaining balance of block reward available to delegator * Commission rate
      Commission: 2 * 0.01 = 0.02
    • The block reward of delegator:
      Formula: The remaining balance of block reward available to validator and delegator - Commission collected
      Block reward after commission: 2 - 0.02 = 1.98
  • APY computation of delegator
    The total return of the specific validator and the delegator (that delegates to the specific validator) = Block reward (including inflation and transaction fee) * (1 - Community and ecosystem pool) * The voting power % of that specific validator node
    Return of delegator = (The total return of the specific validator and the delegator (that delegates to the specific validator) * (1- commission rate) / principal

Governance module (gov)

The gov module allows on-chain governance system. A brief explanation of the process flow of submitting a proposal is as follow (for an in-depth explanation and examples, go here):
  1. 1.
    To submit a proposal, it requires an initial deposit of at least 1000 FX, there is a deposit period (max deposit period) for the min deposit to be reached
  2. 2.
    The min deposit is 10000 FX (the initial deposit is counted towards the threshold)
  3. 3.
    voting period starts when the 10000 FX threshold is reached, and will last for 14 days
  4. 4.
    quorum must be reached for the proposal to be valid, which means at least 40% of bonded FX have to participate in voting
  5. 5.
    If 50% or more of the participants (weighted by FX) voted YES, the proposal has reached the threshold and is considered 'PASS'
  6. 6.
    If 50% or more of the participants (weighted by FX) voted no, the proposal has not reached the threshold and is considered 'REJECTED'
  7. 7.
    If 33.4% (veto threshold) or more of the participants (weighted by FX) voted 'NoWithVeto', irregardless of the % of YES, the proposal is considered 'REJECTED'
The parameters are as follow:
