Checker Reward

Checkers are the verification layer of Pictor Network. Their role is to validate rendering jobs, ensuring that outputs are correct, fair, and free from tampering. This layer is critical for maintaining trust and reliability across the network. To incentivize their contribution, Checkers receive a share of the job payment.

Reward Mechanism

🔹 Reward Pool: For each job executed on the network, 10% of the job payment is allocated to the Checker Node reward pool.

🔹 Reward Distribution: At the end of each epoch, rewards from the Checker Nodes' Rewards pool are allocated and distributed to Checkers based on the number of staked NFTs and the duration of staking.

🔹 Eligibility:

• A Checker must stake Pictor Checker Node NFTs in a Checker Node to be eligible.

• Rewards are proportional to the number of NFTs staked and the duration they remain staked within the epoch.

🔹 Staked NFTs: Rewards are distributed proportionally to all NFTs staked in checker nodes during that epoch.

• If an NFT is staked at the beginning of the week, it accrues rewards for the full epoch.

• If an NFT is staked mid-week, it only accrues rewards from the staking time until the end of that epoch.

🔹 Unstaking NFTs: If a user unstakes NFTs before the epoch ends, those NFTs will not receive any reward for the current epoch.
