Moonbeam orbiters program: provides a new way for collectors to participate in moonbeam and Moonriver

Moonbeam and Moonriver It has continued to flourish since its successful launch , And each has built an active collector community . In order to promote the continuous expansion of the network ,Moonbeam The foundation is pleased to announce the introduction of new entrances to the collector ecosystem , Encourage to continue to enrich and diversify the collection pool , And provide opportunities for new participants to collect human experience .

Moonbeam Foundation in Web3 Foundation and Parity Push poca and Kusama Based on the successful operation of the verifier plan, model the plan . The new plan is called Orbiters Program, It aims to maintain the security and decentralization of the network . As the demand for collector slots increases ,Orbiters Program The plan allows collectors with fewer resources to remain competitive and continue to participate in the collector pool .

After successfully submitting the plan , Participating collectors will rotate in fixed collector slots , In fact, multiple collectors share slots . Based on this sharing system , Participants will enjoy the stability of the structured environment , Compared with the standard active collector set , The reward will be less . The program aims to reduce the pressure on collectors and share rewards with independent collectors in more communities .

Because when waiting for the next round , The production of active blocks per collector will be reduced , The reward of participants will also be lower than that of the full slot . The trade-off of reducing the number of rewards is to maintain the stability of the remaining active collectors . This will help avoid pressure between rounds , Worry about cancelling the pledge , Buy at current price GLMR/MOVR To maintain a concentration of active collectors , wait . Each collector will need to be clear Orbiters Program The stability provided by the plan / Whether the reward balance is suitable for them .

1  How do collectors help maintain the network

Collect human production blocks and support the activity of blocks on the network . They provide blocks to the shared verifier set on the relay chain for final confirmation . Collect human roles with Boca and Kusama The verifier on is similar , But the collector node will not need to verify the block to promote the security of the network .

Collect people's activity on the Internet 、 De centralization 、 Anti censorship and security are essential . Essentially , The collector is responsible for Poka based and Kusama The verifier of the relay chain will prove the state transition and maintain complete nodes in the relay chain and parallel chain in which it operates .

The plan is to support Moonbeam Projects and opportunities to acquire expertise , At the same time, you can also get real network rewards , Such as Moonbeam Of GLMR as well as Moonriver Of MOVR.

2 Orbiter Program Operation principle

Orbiters Program The plan will be on 2022 year 7 month 19 in Moonriver Start the . When the , Due to the strong demand for the plan , The collector pool will be increased to 8 Slots . All details of the plan can be found in Moonbeam Database Orbiter Page to find （ go online Moonbeam The specific time has not been determined ）

https://docs.moonbeam.network/cn/node-operators/networks/collators/orbiter/

When the plan starts ,Moonriver and Moonbeam The collector pool of will be increased to 8 Slots , from Moonbeam The foundation provides support . As part of the first phase , The number of collectors will increase 24 individual , Each slot 3 A collector , Subsequently, the number will be gradually increased according to the demand to maintain good participation .

At present, the plan is in the experimental stage ,Moonbeam The foundation will make appropriate adjustments to the evaluation results . The specific end time has not been determined , However, the test may end or undergo major changes during the whole test period . Encourage participants to provide feedback throughout the program , And please note that the concepts explained here may change .

In the experimental phase , The principle of plan operation is as follows ：

• The preset number of collectors will occupy each initial collector slot . The specific quantity can be obtained from the official database page , But it may be different according to different networks and changes in needs . Collectors will be evenly distributed among available Orbiter In the slot

• There will be a rotation every three rounds . Rotation will be carried out according to a fixed sequence , Rotate each before starting Orbiter The collector in the slot

• The reward will be based on the number of blocks successfully generated , Each round of distribution

• The collector is expected to get the information of the collector that can be referenced on the network 1/x Reward , among x Is the number of collectors sharing slots . Like all collector rewards , Awards will be given based on performance 、 The delay is different from the frequency of block production

3  Conditions of the selected candidates

Selected to participate Orbiter Program The collector of the plan needs to complete the following conditions ：

1. Provide the initial binding quantity . stay Moonriver Up for 400 individual MOVR,Moonbeam The amount of binding on has not been determined . This part of the binding amount will not be included in the pledge reward . This is to prevent the malicious operation of the collector , And there will be certain punishment according to the situation

2. Whether or not the collector is currently active during the rotation , Need to continuously run the collector

3. If you want to leave the pool, you need to notify in advance , In this way, new collectors can be selected and enter the rotation stage . in addition , Re entering the pool, there may be one “ Cooling off period ”

4. Measure according to the performance of people at the same level , Collectors need to maintain a good reputation . If their reputation is below an acceptable threshold , They will be removed from the pool and demoted to Moonbase Alpha At the back of the waiting list . New on the waiting list Orbiter Will occupy its place

Collectors who fail to meet these conditions will be temporarily transferred from Orbiters Program Remove a week from the plan . If the collector continues to fail to meet these conditions, he will eventually be removed Orbiters Program plan .

4 Orbiters Minimum standards for collectors

Existing collectors will take priority in the pilot phase of this program . If successful ,Orbiters Program The plan will apply to new applicants .

Orbiters On a first come, first served basis , Welcome to the Moonbeam Collectors Discord Channel collectors came to participate . The following factors will be used as the criteria for the first stage of evaluation ：

• As Moonbase Alpha、Moonriver or Moonbeam Existing collectors

• Historical block production ： There is no production gap , Can satisfy SLA

• Benchmark the performance of previous nodes , Measure by running commands on nodes

If the plan enters the second stage , New applicants need to meet the following criteria ：

• Past performance as an infrastructure supplier , Including block production indicators 、 Upgrade schedule and overall performance

• Discord And other channels

• Node location decentralization

• Governance in the past

Planning conditions

Orbiter You need to meet the following conditions to participate ：

• Due to the planning characteristics , Every Orbiter Both need to pass identity authentication and cannot be residents of specific restricted countries

• Orbiter There is no way to Orbiter The identity of runs another active collector node in the same network . However , They can use Orbiter The identity is Moonriver Run on and on Moonbeam Run an active collector node on , vice versa , As long as they are not on the same network Orbiter Just run two nodes as

• Must prove past compliance with the prescribed Collector's Guide

How to apply

Any hope to become Orbiter All of you need to fill out the following application form and complete the application process , At the same time, it needs to meet the conditions .

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/13kz8HE67P_cFhhVNdTrClIEpIQLwuyvWM0JXDcoXjwY/viewform?edit_requested=true

Collectors need to prove that they can migrate to Moonriver and Moonbeam Before that Moonbase Alpha The ability to run nodes on . About more becoming Orbiter The steps required , Please check the official database Orbiter Page 「 Application and accession process 」 part ：
