The Fair dPoS Delegate System is now operational on the ADAMANT network, and the delegate list has been reordered accordingly.
The new ranking system considers two factors: Node Productivity and the number of user votes. The final formula for vote weight is:
Vote weight = ADM / Votes × Productivity
This means a delegate’s effective vote weight is determined by the amount of ADM held by supporters divided by the number of votes received, multiplied by the node’s productivity. The formula rewards delegates who maintain reliable nodes and discourages vote concentration by penalizing delegates with large numbers of low-stake votes.
Important: All nodes running versions below 0.4.0 have been rejected by the network. Node operators must update to the current version to continue participating in consensus.
