Earning Power

This page explains earning power in relation to levels and profile reward points.

Earning Power determines the number of rewards a user can earn on the platform. Users with higher earning power receive greater rewards when they participate in voting on the platform. The earning power is derived from stake points and profile reward points. The calculation for the earning points is calculated as per the following formula: Earning Points = Stake Points + Profile Reward Points

Stake Points

The stake points calculation is as below:

$\text{Stake Points} = \frac{\left( \frac{\text{Claimable Stake Rewards}}{\text{Precision}} + \frac{\text{Harvested Stake Rewards}}{\text{Precision}} \right)}{n}$

Where:

• Claimable Stake Reward = The rewards a user has accumulated but not yet claimed.

• Harvested Stake Reward = The rewards a user has already claimed.

• Precision = 10^18 (Flock token decimal converter).

• n = 1 (configurable value).

Profile Reward Points

The profile reward points are the sum of the points that the user has earned from answering questionnaires on their profile page.

Earning Points

Therefore, the total earning points the user has is calculated as per the equation below:

$$\text{Earning Points} = \left( \frac{\left( \frac{\text{Claimable Stake Rewards}}{10^{18}} + \frac{\text{Harvested Stake Rewards}}{10^{18}} \right)}{n} \right) + \text{Profile Reward Points}$$

Earning Power

The earning points that a user has are mapped to earning powers - an example is shown below: If a user has a total of 17,934 earning power points, this falls in the range between 14,300 and 23,2000 and therefore that user would have an earning power of 6.
