MASSA Staking Formula

Massa Improvement Proposals
1

Does the MAS Team have any thoughts about adjusting the formula of staking?

Currently the top 30 stakers control like 65% of all staked tokens
Theres currently 1377 stakers and all those 30 will basicly get most of rewards

Is adding a new variable to formula a good idea??
Adding Total Number of Stakers. The more stakers the more diveded the tokens will be rewared

A big staker will just split his rolls on multiple addresses without increasing his cost, and the result would be the same no?
It won’t increase decentralization

3

Hes gonna lose more and others will win more
The more he devides the more others will get

What do you mean exactly by “The more stakers the more diveded the tokens will be rewared”? Can you propose a formula ?

Keep in mind that holders can easily concentrate all their rolls onto 1 address, or spread 1 roll per address to pretend they are many small stakers depending on what is more profitable. This is a fundamental property of permissionless staking. Currently if people spread 1 roll per address, we could see 1376293 apparent stakers. That’s more than a factor 1000 of possible manipulation.

Now with that in mind:

  • if we reduce rewards for adresses wit lots of rolls, big stakers will just spread their rolls over many addresses to pretend they are many small stakers
  • if we add a higher cost of address creation (currently it is just the storage costs) it will mostly penalize small users and only be a temporary loss for attackers

I do get what you mean, was just brainstorming any ideas to help those little stakers.
Cuz like i said those top 30 kinda getting all rewards and basicly controling the sell pressure.

If couple of them decide to sell everything theres a big crash

You’Re right but it depends who are those stakers. @damir, without reealing the identiy of those stakers, can we at least know which stakers are Massa Team related (Fundation, Massa Team, Massa Projects/Bounty, ambassadors)

This could help a bit to reassure stakers.

I support this. Some kind of Tags for the big wallets, like Massa foundation, Mexc wallet, Bitget wallet … would be a big step towards trust (not for us but for new comers)
