# Creator Pool Design ### 1. **Overview** Creator Pools are a novel staking mechanism that integrates directly with the blockchain at the protocol level of the network, enabling a secure, automated, and trustless reward distribution system. Each Creator Pool is linked to a specific node, serving as an interface for participants to engage in staking while ensuring that all reward calculations and distributions occur within system smart contracts. By embedding reward logic into the node layer, Creator Pools enable a more direct, programmable, and secure staking experience. This unique structure not only strengthens the security of the system but also enhances its scalability where the network maintains a fully trustless and deterministic reward distribution process. This architecture ensures efficiency, security and transparency, making Creator Pools not just a staking solution, but a fundamentally superior model for blockchain-based value distribution - one that is programmable, tamper-proof, and frictionless by design.
### **2. Staking & Reward Distribution Mechanism** Creator Pools function within the broader Revolution staking rewards framework, ensuring equitable allocation of staking incentives across node operators, creators, and fans. Staking rewards are distributed every batch, with newly issued tokens allocated over time and transaction fees eventually sustaining the network. **2.1 Validator & Node-Level Staking** Validator node operators receive rewards based on self-staked tokens (minimum 100,000 tokens per node). Validators take a validator fee between 20% and 50% (default 20%) from rewards allocated to tokens staked via Creator Pools. The remaining rewards are allocated to Creator Pools based on their aggregate stake relative to all staked creator pools. **2.2 Creator Pool-Level Staking** Creator Pools receive a share of rewards proportional to their total stake (creator stake + fan stake). Each creator first receives all rewards corresponding to their self-staked tokens. A creator fee (0% to 100%) is set by the creator, determining their share of remaining rewards. Any remaining rewards are then distributed to staked fans. **2.3 Fan-Level Staking & Rewards** Fans staking into Creator Pools earn rewards proportional to their staked amount within that pool. The final fan rewards are net of validator fees and creator fees, ensuring a transparent and onchain-distributed incentive structure. ### **3. Summary** Creator Pools redefine staking as an interactive economic layer, enabling creators, developers, and brands to integrate programmable incentives, community governance, and financial alignment into their ecosystems. By leveraging delegated staking, automated incentives, and onchain composability, Revolution transforms staking into a high-velocity value system that fuels network effects, engagement, and sustainable growth. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
