Scaling Rewards: O(1) Scalar Index Implementation for Node Operators

Node Operator Experience
1

Hi Rocket Pool Community,

I’ve been analyzing the efficiency of reward distribution within Liquid Staking protocols. The main scaling bottleneck remains the O(n) gas cost complexity for node operator settlements.

I’m presenting the UltraCore RFT (Rift) Engine — a settlement standard based on a Scalar Reward Field.

Technical Value:

  • O(1) Complexity: Reward accounting and claims cost the same regardless of the number of active minipools.

  • Deterministic State: Uses a scalar index to track cumulative value, eliminating manual calculation overhead.

  • Sybil Resistance: Built-in weight functions make capital fragmentation mathematically sub-optimal.

I am offering this architecture as a public good to the Rocket Pool ecosystem to ensure it maintains its lead in gas efficiency and decentralization.

Technical Demo & Architecture: GitHub - 9261834245z-ui/ultracore-rft-solana-demo: Deterministic RFT engine (O(1) reward distribution) with invariant-based accounting model. · GitHub

I am open to discussing the mathematical implementation with the core dev team.

Regards, Lead Architect, UltraCore Protocol
