The Big Picture
Bonds accumulate based on validator weights over time. BondsMovingAverage controls the smoothing - how much historical weights matter vs recent weights. Longer average = more stable bonds, slower to change. Shorter = more responsive, volatile.
Why This Matters
How quickly do bonds update? Longer moving average means your bond to a miner takes time to build (and decay). This affects dividend calculations and validator-miner relationships.
Example Scenario
Query BondsMovingAverage(netuid=1) returns the smoothing period. Bonds are an exponential moving average of weight history over this period.
Common Questions
- Why smooth bonds?
- Rewards long-term commitment. Validators who consistently support miners accumulate bonds and earn more dividends. Prevents gaming through rapid weight changes.
- How does this affect me?
- For validators: support miners consistently for better dividends. For miners: build long-term validator relationships.
Use Cases
- Understand how fast bonds respond to weights
- Research dividend calculation mechanics
- Model validator-miner economic relationships
- Design subnet bond parameters
- Debug unexpected dividend behaviors
Purpose & Usage
Purpose
Smooth bond value changes - controls how quickly bonds respond to weight changes.
Common Query Patterns
- Query by netuid
- Research bond dynamics
- Model dividend calculations
