Seoulite Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Interesting video from Flare Community. He also discusses the effect of the 10% cap. Didn't notice that Sundara has slashed its fee. Are we about to see a race to the bottom in fees? I think not right now, because the difference in rewards rates are still large. If Sundara moved up the list to around 70 or 80% of the A-FTSO reward, then it suddenly looks like a much better proposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly if you check the contracts, 5 days ago he put it back to 20% starting from epoch 6. That's not to say it will stay that way, but that's the current status, 2% for epochs 3,4,5, back to 20% epoch 6.

That’s what SGB is for I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seoulite Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 I remember Hugo said in the latest Uphold interview that providers can’t just suddenly change their fee rate, which makes sense. You don’t want constant chopping and changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made changes to significantly improve win rate a few days ago. They called it v2 and this was their way of rewarding/attracting delegators. They were pretty open about it and that it’ll go back to 20% with epoch 6. Reasonable strategy. Gives them 3 weeks to be a good FTSO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following every FTSO provider discord and telegram doesn't seem practical. Anyway it's a good idea, and it's good to see fees starting to be optimised for various uses. ftso_au 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware he'd announced he was going back to 20%. I did wonder why he chose epoch 6 though, but that's been answered now, thanks. Edit: I now see his statement from 10hrs ago.

I'm sure Tim will add this to FlareMetrics.io soon. For now, you can query the contract yourself, "getDataProviderScheduledFeePercentageChanges" in https://songbird-explorer.flare.network/address/0xc5738334b972745067fFa666040fdeADc66Cb925/read-contract Muellhart, Seoulite and BillyOckham 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will report back here next week. xrp-pat and Tull 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great service. I was thinking more of a kind of forum, or place where providers can put announcements. I don’t know how it would work, who would control it, or how it would be profitable. I’m just seeing the potential for it since we currently have info and announcements spread across a bunch of places. Maybe it’s not needed. ftso_au 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I want to load them up right now…. I’d prefer they work towards helping the roll outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be easy enough to incorporate a "Fee Change" field and the epoch it takes effect. He's hired a Dev to assist him with the site, so I think you can expect to see more changes soon.

Brings down peak reward rate to 5% per FTSO. Things are going to get interesting this epoch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
