FIP-101: Guide for Staking Users
This guide serves only as a reference for users.
FIP-101 introduces Fractal's Standard Indexing Service, a framework designed to make indexing more open, permissionless, and economically aligned with the network. It enables indexers to participate in maintaining Fractal’s indexing layer, while FB holders can stake FB to support indexers. Index Mining is the block reward mechanism for this system, distributing FB rewards to eligible indexers and stake participants who help support the indexing network.
Index Mining Staking Rewards
For every 3 Fractal blocks, 1 block is produced by Index Mining
Fractal block reward: 25 FB per block
Index Mining block rewards will be distributed among indexer operators and staking participants
Please note that rewards from each block will become claimable after a 7-day settlement period; Rewards earned will not be immediately available for claiming. Please wait for the settlement period to complete.

Commission is the percentage of an index operator’s allocated FB staking rewards that is charged by the index operator as a fee.
You can click View Details on the right side of each indexer to see more information about that indexer.
