Staking

Staking on Atoms or Triples is how users signal their conviction in identities and claims and rewards are designed to incentivize early interaction with true and useful data.

Users deposit ETH into by depositing ETH in the vaults associated with Identities/Atoms and Claims/Triples. When users stake or unstake on an Atom or Triple, they pay a fee to all current shareholders of the vaults invested in.

Atoms

The use of funds for deposits on Atoms is summarized below.

Share Purchase​

When staking on an Atom, shares are purchased in the Atom.

Fee Payment​

When staking on a Atom fees are paid to all existing shareholders of the Atom.

Triples

The use of funds for deposits on Triples is summarized below.

Share Purchase​

When staking on a Triple, shares are purchased in:

  • The Triple
  • The Subject’s Atom
  • The Predicate’s Atom
  • The Object’s Atom

Fee Payment​

When staking on a Triple fees are paid to the shareholders of:

  • The Triple
  • The Subject’s Atom
  • The Predicate’s Atom
  • The Object’s Atom
  • The Protocol

It is important to note that Positive and Negative Triple Vaults are entirely independent—they don't share shareholders or fees, even though they might be related in the future. Atoms only have one Vault, which generally represents support for that Atom.

To support the bootstrapping of the knowledge graph, the incentive structure is based on most heavily rewarding users adding to the knowledge graph in the form of creating and depositing on Atoms, the foundational primitive in the Intuition system.
