Validation
Scorum uses a Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus model, ensuring the network’s security and stability through a set of network validators. Anyone can become a validator and receive SCR as a reward while contributing to network security.
Network validators are responsible for verifying all user transactions. If all validators reach consensus that a transaction is valid, it is included in the blockchain. Invalid transactions are rejected.
Validators receive compensation from a reward pool for their efforts in maintaining network integrity and security. The reward pool for validators is funded by a percentage of the Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) from the Aviatrix game, which operates on both web2 and web3 versions:
Web2 Contributions: 0.25% of the GGR from transactions within the web2 version of Aviatrix contributes to the reward pool.
Web3 Contributions: An additional 2.5% of the GGR from the web3 version of Aviatrix is allocated to the reward pool.
The distribution of rewards for validating the Scorum Network follows the standard system used in the Cosmos SDK, with rewards distributed with each block and no withdrawal fees for accessing these rewards.
If a validator does not participate in creating blocks and signing transactions for a significant amount of time during a validation round, they could potentially be jailed and fined.
