TokenStaking

TokenStaking

TokenStaking is the main staking contract of the Threshold Network. Apart from the basic usage of enabling T stakes, it also acts as a sort of "meta-staking" contract, accepting existing legacy NU/KEEP stakes. Additionally, it serves as application manager for the apps that run on the Threshold Network. Note that legacy NU/KEEP staking contracts see TokenStaking as an application (e.g., slashing is requested by TokenStaking and performed by the legacy contracts).

TokenStaking is upgradeable, using OpenZeppelin's Upgradeability framework. As such, it is required to satisfy OZ's guidelines, like restrictions on constructors, immutable variables, base contracts and libraries. See https://docs.openzeppelin.com/upgrades-plugins/1.x/writing-upgradeable

stake

function stake(address stakingProvider, address payable beneficiary, address authorizer, uint96 amount) external

Creates a delegation with msg.sender owner with the given staking provider, beneficiary, and authorizer. Transfers the given amount of T to the staking contract.

The owner of the delegation needs to have the amount approved to transfer to the staking contract.

stakeKeep

function stakeKeep(address stakingProvider) external

Copies delegation from the legacy KEEP staking contract to T staking contract. No tokens are transferred. Caches the active stake amount from KEEP staking contract. Can be called by anyone.

setMinimumStakeAmount

function setMinimumStakeAmount(uint96 amount) external

Allows the Governance to set the minimum required stake amount. This amount is required to protect against griefing the staking contract and individual applications are allowed to require higher minimum stakes if necessary.

Staking providers are not required to maintain a minimum T stake all the time. 24 hours after the delegation, T stake can be reduced below the minimum stake. The minimum stake in the staking contract is just to protect against griefing stake operation. Please note that each application may have its own minimum authorization though and the authorization can not be higher than the stake.

disableApplication

function disableApplication(address application) external

Disables the given application. The disabled application can't slash stakers. Also stakers can't increase authorization to that application but can decrease without waiting by calling forceDecreaseAuthorization at any moment. Can be called only by the governance.

function unstakeT(address stakingProvider, uint96 amount) external

Reduces the liquid T stake amount by the provided amount and withdraws T to the owner. Reverts if there is at least one authorization higher than the sum of the legacy stake and remaining liquid T stake or if the unstake amount is higher than the liquid T stake amount. Can be called only by the owner or the staking provider. Can only be called when 24h passed since the stake has been delegated.

unstakeKeep

function unstakeKeep(address stakingProvider) external

Sets the legacy KEEP staking contract active stake amount cached in T staking contract to 0. Reverts if the amount of liquid T staked in T staking contract is lower than the highest application authorization.

Reverts if there is at least one authorization higher than the sum of remaining legacy NU stake and liquid T stake for that staking provider or if the untaked amount is higher than the cached legacy stake amount. If succeeded, the legacy NU stake can be partially or fully undelegated on the legacy staking contract. This function allows to unstake from NU staking contract and still being able to operate in T network and earning rewards based on the liquid T staked. Can be called only by the delegation owner or the staking provider. Can only be called when 24h passed since the stake has been delegated.

  • 0 T if KEEP stake type specified i.e. min = 40 T max - (10 T + 30 T worth of NU) = 0 T

  • 10 T if NU stake type specified i.e. min = 40 T max - (10 T + 20 T worth of KEEP) = 10 T

  • 0 T if T stake type specified i.e. min = 40 T max - (20 T worth of KEEP + 30 T worth of NU) < 0 T In other words, the minimum stake amount for the specified stake type is the minimum amount of stake of the given type needed to satisfy the maximum application authorization given the staked amounts of the other stake types for that staking provider.
