Configure and Use the PowerUp Resource Model

Overview

This new system will create a new optional NET and CPU marketplace which displaces (over time) the existing staking system and REX market. Under the old model, system token holders own NET and CPU and may choose to use it themselves, delegate it to others, or make it available for others to rent using the REX market. Under this new model, the chain owns almost all NET and CPU resources and the only way to access these resources is through the new powerup action. It channels fees to the REX pool to enable token holders to profit off the new market.

Configuration

// configure the `powerup` market. The market becomes available the first time this action is invoked
void cfgpowerup( powerup_config& args );

struct powerup_config_resource {

// Do not specify to preserve the existing setting or use the default;
// this avoids sudden price jumps. For new chains which don't need
// to gradually phase out staking and REX, 0.01x (10^13) is a good
// value for both current_weight_ratio and target_weight_ratio.
std::optional<int64_t> target_weight_ratio; // Linearly shrink weight_ratio to this amount. 1x = 10^15. 0.01x = 10^13.

// staked and total rented by REX at the time the power market
// is first activated. Do not specify to preserve the existing
// setting (no default exists); this avoids sudden price jumps.

// 10^12 is probably a good value.

std::optional<uint32_t> decay_secs; // Number of seconds for the gap between adjusted resource
// utilization and instantaneous resource utilization to shrink

// total token supply. Do not specify to preserve the existing
// setting or use the default.

Preparation for Upgrade

  1. Build the reference-contracts with powerup code.
  2. Deploy eosio.system contract to eosio.
  3. Create account eosio.reserv and ensure the account has enough RAM, at least 4 KiB.
  4. Deploy powup.results.abi to eosio.reserv account using setabi. The ABI can be found in the build/contracts/eosio.system/.powerup/ directory.
  5. Enable the REX system (if not enabled).

Using PowerUp

Executing an order

The action to power up an account is powerup. It takes a payer of the fee and a receiver of the resources. The days must always match state.powerup_days. net_frac and cpu_frac are the percentage of the resources that you need. The easiest way to caclulate the percentage is to multiple 10^15 (100%) by the desired percentage. For example: 10^15 * 0.01 = 10^13.

cleos push action eosio powerup '[user, user, 1, 10000000000000, 10000000000000, "1000.0000 TST"]' -p user
executed transaction: 82b7124601612b371b812e3bf65cf63bb44616802d3cd33a2c0422b58399f54f  144 bytes  521 us
# eosio <= eosio::powerup {"payer":"user","receiver":"user","days":1,"net_frac":"10000000000000","cpu_frac":"10000000000000","...
# eosio.token <= eosio.token::transfer {"from":"user","to":"eosio.rex","quantity":"999.9901 TST","memo":"transfer from user to eosio.rex"}
# eosio.reserv <= eosio.reserv::powupresult {"fee":"999.9901 TST","powup_net_weight":"16354","powup_cpu_weight":"65416"}
# user <= eosio.token::transfer {"from":"user","to":"eosio.rex","quantity":"999.9901 TST","memo":"transfer from user to eosio.rex"}
# eosio.rex <= eosio.token::transfer {"from":"user","to":"eosio.rex","quantity":"999.9901 TST","memo":"transfer from user to eosio.rex"}

You can see how much NET and CPU weight was received as well as the fee by looking at the eosio.reserv::powupresult informational action.

It is worth mentioning that the network being used for the example has not fully transitioned so the available resources are minimal therefore 1% of the resources are quite expensive. As the system continues the transition more resources are available to the PowerUp resource model and will become more affordable.

Processing Expired Orders

The resources in loans that expire do not automatically get reclaimed by the system. The expired loans sit in a queue that must be processed. Anyone calling the powerup action will help with processing this queue (limited to processing at most two expired loans at a time) so that normally the expired loans will be automatically processed in a timely manner. However, in some cases it may be necessary to manual process expired loans in the queue to make resources available to the system again and thus make prices cheaper. In such a scenario, any account may process up to an arbitrary number of expired loans by calling the powerupexec action.

The orders table powup.order can be viewed by calling:

cleos get table eosio 0 powup.order
{
"rows": [{
"version": 0,
"id": 0,
"owner": "user",
"net_weight": 16354,
"cpu_weight": 65416,
"expires": "2020-11-18T13:04:33"
}
],
"more": false,
"next_key": ""
}

Example powerupexec call:

cleos push action eosio powerupexec '[user, 2]' -p user
executed transaction: 93ab4ac900a7902e4e59e5e925e8b54622715328965150db10774aa09855dc98  104 bytes  363 us
