Delegation 101

You don't have to run an oracle to take part. By delegating your FLR's vote power to a provider, you share in the rewards they earn — while keeping full custody of your tokens.

How it works

1. Wrap your FLR into WFLR (1:1, reversible any time). Only wrapped FLR carries vote power.
2. Delegate that vote power to up to two providers (by percentage). Delegation is a signal of trust — no tokens are transferred and the provider can never touch them.
3. The provider submits data each round. When they earn accuracy rewards, those are shared with their delegators, minus the provider's fee.

The 2.5% cap

To keep the oracle decentralised, any single provider's effective weight is capped at 2.5%of the network when rewards are computed. Weight above the cap is redistributed. Practically: a provider who is already very large gives diminishing reward-rate to new delegators, while a strong, smaller provider can offer a better rate. Bigger isn't automatically better.

Choosing a provider

• Accuracy — how often they land in the reward bands. Compare everyone on Providers.
• Fee — the cut they keep. Lower fee, more to you — but only if accuracy holds up.
• Eligibility — providers must meet minimum conditions or rewards are withheld.
