decimalpride.Technical components of the validator
Servers used for nodes
The main issue for us before launching the validator was the choice of server equipment, its power, geographical location, and the company providing rental services for this equipment. We believe that this is a matter of paramount importance, as the stable operation of the servers depends on the stability of the validator's operation and, consequently, the network itself, as well as the security of our delegators' coins. Numerous tests were conducted with various equipment configurations and different ways of using them. As a result, we came up with an ideal equipment configuration, in our opinion:
- Servers are rented exclusively from foreign service providers.
- Three node servers are used (one primary and two backup). In case of unforeseen circumstances and failure of the primary server, the validator is launched on one of the backup servers in the shortest possible time. The third server is necessary to provide backup for the primary and backup servers, practically eliminating the possibility of a lack of functioning servers for our validator.
- Servers are located in different data centers, which eliminates the possibility of simultaneous disconnection in case of a disaster.
- The rented capacities we have exceed the network's requirements for stable operation of the masternode by tens of times, and they are also not used for any purposes other than supporting the DecimalChain network. This means that our equipment operates stably and will not require upgrading for a very long time.
Protection of delegators' coins from penalties
To protect the validator from penalties, developers have created special software that allows timely disconnecting the validator from the network and avoiding sanctions amounting to 1% of the total stake of coins (read the DecimalChain White Paper). We, of course, took advantage of this opportunity and installed this software on all three servers. It is impossible to completely eliminate the risk of receiving a penalty, but we believe it is necessary to do everything possible to minimize these risks.
Error and malfunction monitoring programs
To promptly detect equipment malfunctions and improper validator operation, we use various monitoring programs. They help us react promptly to any abnormal situation with the equipment. We consider this measure necessary because prolonged absence of the validator in the network entails losses of delegators' rewards and partly weakens the operation of the network itself.
Validator maintenance team
We have approached the selection of personnel servicing our validator with special attention. Currently, it is a team of professionals with over 20 years of experience in the IT industry. Our IT department operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, promptly fulfilling tasks related to validator maintenance and blockchain replica software updates.
Validator projects
Delegating coins to our validator
The validator's plans include attracting a wide range of audiences to the network. A separate funnel website will be created for each audience, along with corresponding advertising campaigns. Training, instructions, chat rooms, and channels will be provided for each new client to generate interest in DecimalChain. Continuous advertising and a well-established system for handling incoming traffic will give appropriate publicity to the DecimalChain project and increase the stake of our validator.
Partnership program for delegators
To implement all projects based on the PRIDE validator, it was necessary to create a one-tier partnership program. Currently, we see two ways to implement the partnership program: through blockchain (linking wallets together through transaction descriptions) or by creating a separate service (a website with a database). The first option will be implemented initially, followed by the second option with sufficient funding. The partnership program does not involve reducing the base reward for delegators when delegating coins to the PRIDE validator. To participate in the partnership program, it is necessary to have at least 200 coins delegated to the PRIDE validator.
Loyalty ecosystem on the DecimalChain blockchain
One of the main directions of our validator is the project to create a loyalty system for real businesses implemented on the DecimalChain blockchain. We named it Crypto Club (working title).
Key points of creating Crypto Club:
- Crypto Club website. Creating a website with store cards where any DecimalChain user can view all the necessary information about a business integrated into the network (store location and description, business coin parameters, conditions for receiving cashback, gifts, and discounts in business coins, other information).
- Support service. Assistance for business owners (training, coin creation, staff training). Customer support service (dedicated Telegram and WhatsApp lines for assisting customers from connected businesses, training bots, and instructions for using DecimalChain for new clients).
- Advertising. Launching advertising targeted at business owners through various online channels. Preparation of materials (videos and presentations) and forming an initiative group for onboarding businesses "on the ground." Creating initial use cases.
- Earning for PRIDE delegators. Creating an opportunity for PRIDE delegators to onboard businesses to Crypto Club and receive bonuses through a referral program. The scheme works as follows: any user who comes from a business connected by a PRIDE delegator becomes their referral.
To be able to onboard businesses, PRIDE delegators will need to undergo special training, pass an exam (free of charge), and obtain a "Store Onboarding" certificate.
Giveaways, quizzes, marathons, rewards
Stimulating rewards are provided for our delegators' activity on social media. Here are some of them:
- Prizes for giveaways.
- Prizes for knowledge marathons.
- Prizes for quizzes.
- Prizes for activity and assistance to newcomers.
Partnership
We are pleased to consider any collaboration proposals both within the DecimalChain network and from external projects using other blockchain technologies or not using cryptocurrency at all. We believe that productive collaboration between competing projects and fair competition contribute to the overall development of the industry and any business as a whole, as well as the emergence of strong and interesting products for end users.

Economy
Delegating coins to the PRIDE validator
Each of the DecimalChain validators sets a commission charged from the rewards of their delegators. This is the validator's earnings, which are an integral part of the DecimalChain ecosystem. For our validator, we have set a commission of 6%. This is an acceptable figure for delegators and optimal for us.
This commission will allow us to maintain the functionality of all our servers and systems, as well as implement all the projects mentioned below and create a competitive product in the DPoS and PoS mining market, as well as in the cryptocurrency market as a whole.
It is impossible to accurately determine the profitability of the DecimalChain network for a delegator, as it depends on certain changing network values. As of March-April 2021, this is approximately 0,29 % — 0,31 % per day (taking into account the commission of the PRIDE validator).
Delegator rewards in the partner program
- First option (wallet attachment in transaction description) — 1 % of the referral’s deposit when delegating coins to the PRIDE validator, one-time.
- Second option (wallet attachment in a separate service) — 2 % of the referral’s rewards received when delegating coins to the PRIDE validator, forever.
Delegator rewards in the loyalty ecosystem
Any interested PRIDE delegator participating in our partner program and obtaining a "Business Connection" certificate will receive all the clients of that business who delegate coins to PRIDE into their partner program through Crypto Club. In other words, they will receive 2% of the rewards from the referral who delegates coins to the PRIDE validator, forever.
PRIDE validator earnings
Funds received from the activities of the validator mentioned below will be used exclusively to improve this activity, develop validator projects, pay employee salaries, maintain the validator, provide grants and gifts to delegators. In our view, DecimalChain is a project that is ahead of its time and has many advantages and prospects for any innovator. Our team is made up of enthusiasts interested in promoting the project by implementing their own solutions and innovations. The income generated will help us realize these ideas.
Logo
In the logo, we depicted interconnected blockchain nodes that sign a block with transactions. The logo symbolizes the unity and integrity of the network, just like the name of our PRIDE validator.
