🎉 Massa Fusion Nodes – Simplifying Staking for All Users and Incentivizing Node Operators

Hello Massa Community! :wave:

I’m thrilled to share a concept called “Massa Fusion Nodes” that aims to make staking on Massa easy and accessible for everyone, especially non-technical users like family members, friends, our work colleagues, etc . This proposal is about allowing users to stake any amount of MAS with ease while also offering great incentives for node operators. Here’s how it could work:


:bulb: Massa Fusion Node Concept

:rocket: 1. Single-Click Staking in Wallets

  • Objective: Imagine being able to stake any amount of MAS, even just 10 MAS, with a single click right from your wallet – even on mobile! This approach makes staking as simple as possible without requiring users to manage rolls or navigate technical setups.
  • Goal: This feature, similar to platforms like Ethereum, Solana, and Sui, could attract a wider, more diverse community to Massa by making staking effortless.

:arrows_counterclockwise: 2. Suggested Methods for Fusion Node Pooling

To make Fusion Nodes work efficiently, here are two methods that could help the Massa team and community decide on the best approach. These are just suggestions for the admins to consider – both would allow users to stake seamlessly with any amount.


Method 1: Network-Wide Pooling :globe_with_meridians:

  • Overview: In this model, contributions from all users are combined into a network-wide Fusion Pool. Each time the pool reaches a 100 MAS increment, a roll is created and assigned to a Fusion Node.
  • How It Works: This pool serves as a dedicated vault, gathering MAS from all users. Rolls are created as soon as contributions reach 100 MAS, so no MAS sits idle.
  • User Benefits: Even users staking as little as 10 MAS can get started immediately, as the network-wide pool combines contributions and creates rolls automatically.
  • Result: This pooling method dynamically activates MAS for staking and keeps contributions actively working.

Method 2: Node Operator Stake Contribution :hammer_and_wrench:

  • Overview: Here, each Fusion Node operator has their own dedicated pool of MAS. If user contributions in this pool fall short of the 100 MAS needed for a roll, the Fusion Node operator can contribute their own MAS to complete it.
  • Operator Incentive: By completing rolls, Fusion Node operators earn a proportional share of rewards based on their contribution, plus a 5% commission for managing the node.
  • User Benefits: This method ensures small user contributions can earn rewards right away, as operators can step in to meet the roll requirements.
  • Result: This model encourages Fusion Node operators to keep pools active and allows users to stake smaller amounts without delays.

:closed_lock_with_key: Vault and Dynamic Roll Allocation

  • Mechanism: MAS contributions are gathered in a vault or smart contract. Once the pool balance hits each 100 MAS increment, a roll is created. Any leftover MAS (e.g., if the balance is 105 MAS) stays in the pool until it reaches another 100 MAS from random users.
  • Growth Potential: Rewards generated by the Fusion Nodes are reinvested, allowing the pool to grow and create additional rolls over time.

:trophy: Proportional Rewards and Operator Commission

  • For Stakers: Each user’s reward is based on their contribution percentage in the pool. For example, if a user stakes 50 MAS in a 200 MAS pool, they’ll receive 25% of the rewards generated.
  • For Node Operators: Operators would receive a 5% commission on the pool’s rewards. In Method 2, they would also earn rewards based on any MAS they contribute to complete rolls.

:mag: Enhanced Requirements for Fusion Nodes

  • Minimum Rolls: Fusion Nodes would require at least 100 rolls to qualify, which sets them apart from regular nodes requiring only one roll.
  • Incentive to Run Multiple Nodes: Since users are randomly assigned to Fusion Nodes, operators have an incentive to run multiple Fusion Nodes to increase the chance of receiving staker assignments and commissions.
    • Example: An operator with 500 rolls might run five Fusion Nodes with 100 rolls each instead of one large node with 500 rolls, allowing them to maximize the potential commission from each Fusion Node.

:earth_africa: Automatic, Decentralized Node Allocation

  • Random Assignment: Users are randomly assigned to Fusion Nodes, regardless of node size, to ensure decentralization.
  • Seamless Reallocation: If a Fusion Node goes offline, stakers are automatically reallocated to another active Fusion Node, keeping staking and rewards uninterrupted.

:star2: Key Benefits of Massa Fusion Nodes

  1. Accessible Staking for Everyone: Allows anyone to stake any amount of MAS, even just 10 MAS, with a single click in order to increase MASSA TVL.
  2. Increased Demand for Node Operators: The 5% commission incentivizes operators to create Fusion Nodes, which may lead them to run multiple nodes to maximize their earning potential.
  3. More Servers in the Massa Network: By encouraging multiple nodes, this approach adds more servers to the network, increasing decentralization and robustness.
  4. Efficient Activation of Contributions: Both methods ensure that even small user contributions are activated promptly, making the most of all MAS in the network.
  5. Growing Massa’s Community: By lowering the barrier to staking, Massa can attract a broader, more diverse audience and grow its user base.

:mega: Your Thoughts and Feedback!

I believe the Massa Fusion Node concept could make staking easier and more attractive while encouraging network growth. These two methods are suggestions to help the admins and community find the best approach.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas to make this concept even better! Whether it’s feedback, concerns, or new ideas, feel free to join the conversation. Together, we can refine this proposal to help Massa grow!


TL;DR:

  1. :rocket: Boost in Staking TVL: A game-changer for growing Massa’s staking value.

  2. :iphone: Easy Staking: Users can stake any MAS amount with one click in a mobile wallet.

  3. :shield: More Servers, More Security: Increased servers = stronger security and decentralization.

  4. :chart_with_upwards_trend: Higher MAS Demand: Staking demand will drive MAS value up.

  5. :moneybag: Fusion Node Incentives: 5% commission attracts more node operators.

  6. :earth_africa: Community Growth: Both non-tech users (stakers) and tech-savvy users (node operators) join Massa.

I think these updates and innovations will be very useful for the community. They should all be implemented. I support them.

If I understand correctly, this proposal is about implementing delegation ?

Note: It is quite hard to read through and understand chatgpt-generated proposals
