KNC holders who want to stake their tokens, but don’t have the time to
participate regularly in voting in every epoch can delegate their voting power
to a 3rd-party ‘pool’ operator to vote on their behalf. Staked operates a
non-custodial pool to make this process easy.
Vote delegation is 100% non-custodial. KNC holders retain full control of their
KNC throughout the staking and voting process, and can withdraw or
re-delegate anytime without penalty. There are no staking or delegation
lock-up periods.
When delegating to a 3rd party, KNC holders must delegate their entire stake
(no partial stake delegation), and can only delegate their stake to one pool
operator at a time.
There is a one epoch delay between staking and voting, and a one epoch delay
between voting and being able to claim rewards. After staking or delegating in
epoch 0, KNC holders are eligible to participate in voting and earn rewards in
epoch 1, and can claim rewards from epoch 1 starting in epoch 2.
Rewards Fees generated from trading on the Kyber Network are distributed to
KyberDAO stakers as voting rewards, and to liquidity reserve managers as
performance bonuses / rebates. Fees are also used to buy KNC on the open
market that is then burned to decrease the circulating KNC supply.
Currently, 65% of the exchange fees will be allocated to voting rewards, 30% to
reserve rebates and 5% to KNC burning. KNC holders will be responsible for
voting on the fee allocation parameters going forward.
After every epoch, ETH will be allocated to voting rewards. The amount of
voting rewards will be determined by trade volume, network fees earned in the
prior epoch, and the proportion of fees allocated to voting rewards. Available
staking rewards are calculated as the network fees generated * the fee
allocation to voting rewards (65%). Individual staking rewards are calculated
using KNC staked on a pro-rata basis, after adjusting for successful votes per
epoch.
