The total stake delegated to a given node (both self-delegated and from third parties) drives its stake-weighted share of rewards and its leader weight in dispatch. The two types of delegation are:
  1. Self-delegation: Stake that Arx nodes commit to themselves.
  2. Third-party delegation: External stakeholders who delegate their assets to Arx nodes.

Rewards distribution

Computation rewards on a Cluster accrue into a per-Cluster pot and are paid stake-weighted at epoch finalization: each Node’s share is pot × node_stake / cluster_total_stake. A node participates in one Cluster at a time, so its rewards come from the pot of the Cluster it is bound to. Nodes must stake a minimum amount of collateral to participate. Node activation and Cluster eligibility each have minimum primary-stake requirements; see the Staking overview section for the exact floors. Additional staking from third-party delegators grows the Node’s stake-weighted share of rewards and its leader weight.
