Customers and delegators evaluate an Arx node’s reputation offchain using criteria such as uptime, response time, operational history, and the Node Operator’s security practices. Program rewards follow the Arx node’s stake and its Cluster’s reward pot.

Node incentives and rewards structure

Primary stake and third-party delegation contribute to an Arx node’s stake-weighted reward share. The Node Operator can also configure a percentage fee on delegated rewards. Epoch settlement records each Arx node’s claim from its Cluster reward pot. Delegators claim their portion after the Node Operator’s fee. See Staking overview for settlement details and Pricing and incentives for customer charges. Operational reputation informs Cluster invitations and delegation decisions.
