Eligibility criteria for receiving stake from Marinade
For the Stake Auction Marketplace:
-
Validator is not blacklisted (i.e., not running harmful mods or engaging in commission rugs).
-
Validator runs a node version that is in the specified semver bounds.
-
Validator's final inflation commission is ≤ 7% (bids and MEV commissions can be used to offset a higher public commission).
-
Validator's uptime was >80% in each of the last three epochs, calculated using the stake-weighted average of vote credits.
-
Validator has created and funded its PSR bond. The PSR bond must contain enough SOL for:
-
One epoch of downtime (1 SOL per 10k SOL)
-
One epoch of "Maximum Yield" for the epoch based on the amount of stake received (as set by the validator)
-
One epoch of bids (as set by the validator)
-
-
Bond Size Estimation:
- This calculator can be used to estimate the required bond size for a given amount of stake.
For MNDE Votes:
All the constraints listed above apply, with the following slight differences:
-
"Max Bid" Exclusion:
- The "max_bid" is not taken into account in the validator's effective commission.
-
Bid Charging:
- Bids are not charged for the stake distributed through MNDE. However, a PSR bond protecting the downtime and the yield for that stake must still be in place.
