Restaking Incentives for Restakers

Restakers (delegators) earn two types of yield on Tangle:

1. TNT incentives for delegating assets (APY/cap-driven, pre-funded).
2. Service fee revenue from blueprint services they help secure (paid in the service’s payment token).

How You Participate

• Deposit supported assets into the on-chain MultiAssetDelegation restaking contract.
• Delegate to an operator and choose a blueprint selection mode:
  • All: you are exposed to all blueprints the operator participates in.
  • Fixed: you choose which blueprint IDs you accept exposure to.
• Optionally apply a lock multiplier (1–6 months) to boost reward share.

TNT Deposit Incentives (RewardVaults)

TNT incentive rewards are paid from RewardVaults:

• One vault per staking asset (native, TNT, etc.).
• Governance sets apyBps, depositCap, and incentiveCap.
• Rewards are paid in TNT from a pre-funded InflationPool (no minting).
• Utilization matters: if deposits are below the cap, only that fraction of the maximum reward budget is distributed.

Service Fee Revenue (ServiceFeeDistributor)

When customers pay for a service, the protocol splits fees and routes the restaker portion per operator to ServiceFeeDistributor. From there, fees are distributed to delegators who restaked with that operator based on:

• Delegated amount (and optional lock multiplier)
• Blueprint selection (All vs Fixed)
• Optional per-asset commitments and USD weighting (if a price oracle is configured)
• Optional streaming over a service’s TTL (for streamed payments)

Exposure-Based Protocol Rewards (InflationPool)

If enabled, ServiceFeeDistributor records “exposure” (USD×time) into TangleMetrics. InflationPool can allocate a restaker budget in TNT based on that exposure score.

• Claim via InflationPool.claimRestakerRewards().

Risks

• Slashing reduces the withdrawable value of operator positions using share/exchange-rate accounting.
• Use Fixed blueprint selection if you want to scope exposure to specific blueprints.
