# Fluence SRB

FluenceSRB is a benchmark that represents the reward rate of staking the asset.

FluenceSRB is calculated and published by Staking Rewards via the [Fluence Profile](https://www.stakingrewards.com/asset/fluence-2) and [Data API](https://www.stakingrewards.com/data-api).

> **TL;DR:** Fluence staking rewards are based on FLT token earnings and Compute Unit assignments within Capacity Commitments. The formula combines FLT earned times price with a Compute Unit bonus, scaled by a 0.2 factor.

$$
FluenceSRB = (

fa
​
×fp
​
+(0.33×cu
​
)
​
)×0.2
$$

<table><thead><tr><th width="149">Formula key</th><th width="193">Metric name</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>fa</td><td>FLT earned</td><td>Total staking rewards to be paid out during the current Block</td></tr><tr><td>fp</td><td>FLTPrice</td><td>Sum of all the FLT staked by all the participants in the network.</td></tr><tr><td>cu</td><td>CUCount</td><td>Number of CUs assigned to a specific Capacity Commitment (CC).</td></tr></tbody></table>

#### Slashing

* The **slashing rate** for one failed **epoch** per **Compute Unit (CU)** is set to **0%** for the first month of the Mainnet, with plans to increase it in the future.
* **Slashing** penalizes **Capacity Commitments** when **CUs** fail to prove their claimed capacity or act maliciously against the network. As a security measure, the **collateral** locked in the **Capacity Commitment** ensures that the **Peer** consistently submits the required number of proofs for each **CU** in every epoch throughout the commitment's duration.
* A portion of slashed funds is rewarded to those who report violations, while the rest goes to the If a Peer fails to submit the required proofs for some **CUs** during an epoch, the **CC collateral** is slashed based on the **slashing rate** at the end of the epoch.

  The total amount of collateral slashed is determined by the formula:

  $$
  TotalSlashedCollateral=TotalFailCount×CollateralPerUnit×SlashingRate
  $$

### FluenceSRB Validators Staking Reward Rate: FluenceSRB (v)

Staking Rewards calculates the FluenceSRB for each validator based on their individual performance and commission rate.

$$
FluenceSRB(v) = FluenceSRB\* (1-cr)
$$

<table><thead><tr><th width="159">Formula key</th><th width="172">Metric name</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>cr</td><td>Commission Rate</td><td>The percentage commission rate the validator has set as a delegation fee for all delegators</td></tr></tbody></table>

#### Observation Period:

* The FluenceSRB is determined based on the latest generated block at the point of evaluation, with each epoch corresponding to 1 day.
* This data is then annualized for a comprehensive year-long projection.

#### Calculation

The calculation happens every 2 hours and is immediately published via [Data API](https://www.stakingrewards.com/data-api).

#### Limitations

* FluenceSRB does not guarantee the specified reward rate for individual validators, as it is subject to various factors such as network conditions, validator performance, and adherence to protocol rules.
* FluenceSRB's annual projections are estimates and may fluctuate due to changes in network participation, Ethereum usage patterns, and evolving network dynamics, making long-term predictions inherently uncertain.

### FluenceSRB Real Reward Rate: FluenceSRB ^R

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

$$
FluenceSRB ^R=1 + FluenceSRB /(1+ir) -1
$$

<table><thead><tr><th width="140">Formula key</th><th width="144">Metric name</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>ir</td><td>Inflation Rate</td><td>The annual provisions divided by the circulating supply.</td></tr></tbody></table>
