1. Purpose

This “Terms of Use” document serves as a reference of rights, processes, obligations, agreements and information shared between Providers and Delegators.

2. Definition

Managed Rewards Distribution – the classical Ouroboros system is enhanced with re-delegated rewards, that are being sent to a selected individual per pool per epoch. Such selection is determined via:
1. Smart contract – The 2022+ Scenario – preferred way of selecting qualified Delegator who receives extra rewards.
2. Pool script – Current Scenario – same as a smart contract scenario, but calculated on the location of the stake pool.
Collective agreement to Managed Rewards Distribution – Parties agree to task Providers with rewards distribution and to use the margin fee called “Margin for Rewards Distribution” (viz 3. Stake pool Settings) for the extra rewards being sent to one of pool delegators per epoch.
Distribution Levels – apply between basic Ouroboros distribution based on the stake size and pool conditions and on selection of the Delegator.
