🪐 Great conversation we couldn't pay attention to
@ufc fights thinking about these tweets in orbit from
@mooning_soon and
@ValuableTX. Just some food for thought. We really need to see cycle close since blocks produced by which validator and what market transactions are unknown in advance.
🪐Stake size ≠ security on VeChain.
🪐Security = uptime, correct configuration, and proper consensus behavior.
🪐Staking type affects block probability (Validator stake 2×, X-Node 1.5×, Eco 1×) and economics — not consensus weight. Every validator must meet the same security and consensus standards. So APY isn’t “higher for less secure validators.
💫APY has layers and depends who’s looking into the Tesseract:
1️⃣ Validator APY
30% of VTHO generated, plus any priority-fee rewards (edge case rewarded to validators for securing the network).
(Self-delegated NFTs like validators that hold legacy X-Nodes get treated like delegators for 70% pool purposes.)
2️⃣ Individual Delegator APY
Your mix of NFTs (and their reward multipliers) determines your proportional share of the 70% delegator VTHO pool (i.e., how big your slice of the pie is).
That cycle’s VTHO output is then annualized to determine each delegator’s individual APY.
3️⃣ Average Delegator APY (shown on validator pages)
Total VTHO generated ÷ Total Stake (Validator Stake Delegator Stake).
It’s just an average naturally pulled upward by higher-tier multipliers and downward by lower-tier multipliers and won't reflect exactly what an individual delegator realizes.
Large validators tend to generate more absolute VTHO due to higher block probability.
🔭 The number that truly matters:
👉 The actual VTHO each delegator receives at the end of the cycle based on the NFTs they hold and the VET they staked.
We need Cycle 1 to close 🚀 — and we definitely need coffee.
