This proposal requests Council approval to implement GIP-0079: Rewards Eligibility Oracle (REO).
The REO aligns indexing rewards with actual network value by requiring Indexers to maintain reliable infrastructure and minimum service quality.
A significant portion of indexing rewards currently go to Indexers who are not contributing high value added activities to the network
The REO ensures only Indexers meeting basic uptime and query quality criteria remain eligible for rewards.
| Requirement | Description |
|---|---|
| Days Online | Active ≥ 5 days per 28-day period |
| Daily Query | ≥ 1 valid query/day |
| Qualifying Query | HTTP 200 OK, latency <5s, freshness <50k blocks |
If the oracle fails, rewards default to current behavior to avoid disruption.
Full specification:
All stakeholder feedback has been incorporated.
The Foundation recommends the Council vote to approve GIP-0079 for network implementation.
