🧠Allora SRB

Learn how Allora staking rewards are calculated. AlloSRB formula covers custom block emissions, validator cut, blocks per month, community tax, and total bonded tokens.

ALLOSRB is a benchmark representing the mean, annualized staking rate across all active Allora validators.

ALLOSRB is calculated and published by Staking Rewards via the Allora Profile and Data API.

TL;DR: Allora uses a custom emission model where block rewards are split between cosmos validators (25%) and Allora network participants (75%). The validator staking reward rate is derived from the validator cut per block, annualized and adjusted for community tax, divided by total bonded tokens.

ALLOSRB = (vc * bpm * 12) * (1 - ct) / bt

Formula key

Metric name

Description

Validator Cut

The per-block ALLO emission allocated to cosmos validators, sourced from the custom mint module's emission_info endpoint

bpm

Blocks Per Month

The number of blocks produced per month, sourced from the emission_info endpoint (currently ~471,300)

Community Tax

The percentage of staking rewards directed to the community pool (currently 2%)

Bonded Tokens

The total amount of ALLO tokens bonded (staked) across all active validators

Non-compounded: ALLOSRB excludes returns from reinvestment of rewards, presenting the base annualized rate.
Validator Emissions Only: The SRB uses the validator cut (25% of total block emissions). The remaining 75% goes to Allora network participants (workers and reputers) and is excluded from the staking reward rate.
All Rewards Counted: Includes both claimed and unclaimed staking rewards across all validators.
Community Tax Adjusted: The community tax (currently 2%) is deducted before calculating the effective staking reward rate.

ALLO Emission Model

Allora is a Cosmos SDK L1 blockchain focused on decentralized AI, but it replaces the standard Cosmos mint module with a custom emission model. The standard /cosmos/mint/v1beta1/* endpoints are not implemented.

Here's how the emission model works:

Custom Mint Module: All emission data is served through the /mint/v5/emission_info endpoint, which provides validator cut, blocks per month, emission per month, and circulating supply in a single call.
Split Emissions: Each block's emission is split: 25% to cosmos validators who secure the network, and 75% to Allora network participants (workers producing AI/ML inferences and reputers scoring outputs).
Bitcoin-Like Decreasing Emissions: Total emissions decrease over time using an EMA smoothing mechanism, targeting a hard cap of 1,000,000,000 ALLO.
Delegation: Token holders delegate ALLO to validators. Validators charge a commission (minimum 5% enforced on-chain) on delegator rewards. Rewards are distributed proportionally to stake.

Validator-Level SRB: ALLOSRB(v)

ALLOSRB(v) = ALLOSRB * (1 - c)

Formula key

Metric name

Description

Commission

The validator's commission rate (5–100%), representing the percentage of delegator rewards retained by the validator. Minimum 5% is enforced on-chain.

Observation Period

Determined based on the latest emission data from the custom mint module at the point of evaluation. The validator_cut and blocks_per_month values reflect the current emission state.
Annualized by multiplying monthly emissions by 12 for a comprehensive year-long projection.

Calculation Frequency

The calculation happens every 6 hours and is immediately published via Data API.

Slashing

ALLOSRB does not factor in the possibility of slashing occurrences. Allora implements slashing for both downtime (0.01% slash) and double signing (5% slash), with a signed blocks window of 9,000 blocks and a minimum 33% signing requirement.

Allora Real Reward Rate (ALLOSRB^R)

The real reward rate calculates the ALLOSRB adjusted for inflation in the network.

ALLOSRB^R = 1+ALLOSRB /(1+i)-1

Formula key

Metric name

Description

Inflation Rate

The annual inflation rate of the ALLO token supply, calculated as: (emission_per_month * 12) / total_bank_supply

Inflation Rate Behaviour

Allora's inflation rate is calculated using total bank supply (not circulating supply) to provide a meaningful metric. The circulating supply (~231M ALLO) is significantly smaller than the total minted supply (~787M ALLO) due to locked vesting tokens (~556M ALLO). Using circulating supply would produce a misleadingly high inflation figure (~137%). The actual inflation rate against total supply is approximately 0.4%. As the ecosystem treasury depletes over time and emissions decrease via EMA smoothing, the inflation rate will continue to decline toward zero as supply approaches the 1B ALLO hard cap.
