VIP Delegators have delegated 100% of their WFLR to PriceKraken on their Main Wallet (EOA). If a PDA is active, it must also be 100% delegated. VIP status unlocks exclusive Loyalty Rewards — additional rewards on top of regular FTSO delegation rewards.

Click your status badge in the header or the “Become VIP” button in the Rewards tab. This opens a guided onboarding: activate PDA, delegate Main Wallet 100%, delegate PDA 100%. Each step is live-checked — already completed steps are skipped.

Yes. If you don’t have an active PDA, you only need your Main Wallet delegated 100% to PriceKraken. The PDA is optional — but if you activate one, it must also be 100% PK for VIP status.

VIP Delegators get access to: 1) Loyalty Rewards — additional FLR rewards on top of regular FTSO delegation rewards. 2) Tax Report — export your complete claim history in CoinTracking CSV format for tax reporting (coming soon). More VIP features are planned.

The Claimbot is an automated service that claims your rewards for you. You authorize it as a Claim Executor via the Flare ClaimSetupManager contract. It can only claim rewards — it cannot access, transfer, or delegate your tokens. You can revoke access at any time.

Tentacle (0.5 FLR/claim): Claims PriceKraken delegation rewards only, standard gas, regular queue. Activation delegates your PDA 100% to PriceKraken — existing PDA delegations are replaced — because Tentacle only claims PK rewards. Kraken (5 FLR/claim): Claims all delegation rewards (every provider), staking rewards, priority gas for fastest inclusion. Kraken also lets you choose a custom claim recipient and never touches your existing PDA delegations.

Go to Rewards → Claimbot and click "Disable Claimbot". This opens a guided process: first removes claim recipients, then revokes the executor authorization. The Claimbot is immediately deactivated after the transactions confirm.

Yes. The Claimbot uses the official Flare ClaimSetupManager contract — a standard protocol feature. It can only claim rewards to your pre-registered recipient addresses. It cannot move, delegate, or spend your tokens. The executor role is strictly limited by Flare's smart contract design.

Rule: Claims may only be sent to an EOA (receives native FLR) or a PDA (receives WFLR). Other smart contracts are blocked. With Kraken the EOA or PDA may also belong to someone else.

Kraken exclusive. During Kraken activation, you choose where rewards go: your PDA (recommended) or a custom wallet address. The system auto-detects the address type — your own PDA, your main wallet, a foreign PDA, or a foreign EOA — and shows a confirmation with warnings for addresses you don't control. Your own wallet and smart contracts (like PDAs) receive rewards as WFLR. Foreign EOAs receive native FLR (instead of WFLR). Foreign smart contracts that are not PDAs are not supported.

⚠️ Heads-up on exchange deposit addresses: Sending claims directly to an exchange wallet is technically possible but not officially supported. Rewards arrive on-chain from a Flare protocol smart contract via the Claimbot executor — not from your own wallet. Exchanges bound by the FATF Travel Rule / EU TFR must attribute incoming transfers to you, which usually requires a self-hosted-wallet ownership proof. With a smart-contract sender that proof can't be produced, so the exchange may hold, return, or freeze the funds. Safer path: claim to your own wallet, then deposit to the exchange yourself.

No. The Claimbot only delegates your PDA, never your main wallet. Your EOA delegation stays exactly as you set it — you can delegate to any providers you like. After activation, a hint appears if your EOA is not yet delegating to PriceKraken, but this is optional and entirely your choice.

Yes. Claimbot fees are set on-chain and may be adjusted at any time. The current fee is always displayed in the Portal before you authorize or use the service. Since we do not collect contact information, we cannot notify you individually — please check the Portal periodically. If you disagree with a fee change, you can deactivate the Claimbot for free at any time.

Delegation rewards are tied to a vote-power snapshot taken at a random block within each reward epoch (~3.5 days). You can't miss the snapshot of an epoch that hasn't started yet — but a delegation made during a running epoch almost never counts for that same epoch, because its snapshot has typically already passed. Whether you're captured by the next epoch's snapshot is partly luck — it depends where in the epoch the random snapshot block falls. Worst case you wait two full epochs (~7 days) before you first earn, plus another ~3.5 days until that reward becomes claimable. The Reward Eligibility Timeline at the top of the Rewards tab shows exactly which epochs you qualified for and when your first claim opens.

Three types: 1) Delegation Rewards — earned from FTSO vote power delegation, distributed each reward epoch (~3.5 days). 2) Staking Rewards — earned from P-Chain validator staking. 3) Loyalty Rewards — exclusive to VIP Delegators, distributed by PriceKraken's custom smart contract.

Delegation rewards are available after each reward epoch (~3.5 days / 302,400 seconds). Staking rewards accumulate continuously. Loyalty (VIP) rewards are not periodic — PriceKraken unlocks them irregularly as bonuses or compensations (for example, to comp a failed epoch). When unlocked, they typically stay claimable for about 4 weeks, so check the Rewards tab regularly.

Loyalty Rewards are exclusive to VIP Delegators. PriceKraken distributes additional FLR rewards via a custom smart contract based on your vote power and delegation history. Rewards are calculated as: votePower × APY × epochDuration. Each reward epoch has its own claim window. You can claim as FLR or wrap directly to WFLR.

Loyalty Rewards are only visible to VIP Delegators. You need to delegate 100% of your WFLR to PriceKraken on your Main Wallet (and PDA if active). Use the VIP Onboarding to get set up.

Loyalty (VIP) rewards are not periodic. They're bonuses or compensations — for example we used them to comp a failed Epoch 383 — and occasionally we unlock random drops when things are running well. The idea: alongside loyal delegation, checking the portal regularly pays off. Drops are time-limited (typically 4 weeks claimable), so active Portal/App users notice them in time — don't sleep on the Rewards tab.

The Tax Report is a VIP-exclusive feature that lets you export your complete claim history in CoinTracking CSV format — the global standard for crypto tax reporting. It includes all delegation rewards, staking rewards, and loyalty rewards with timestamps and amounts. Compatible with CoinTracking, Koinly, and other tax tools. Coming soon.

It's the per-epoch overview at the top of the Rewards tab. Each card represents one reward epoch and shows whether your wallet was captured by that epoch's vote-power snapshot: qualified (green), snapshot pending (gold dashed), currently running (gold solid), or not qualified (grey). Below the timeline you see the date when your first claimable reward becomes available. Fastest way to answer "why no rewards yet?".

Delegation means lending your vote power (WFLR) to an FTSO data provider like PriceKraken. The provider uses your vote power to submit price data to the Flare Network. In return, you earn delegation rewards proportional to your vote power. Your WFLR never leaves your wallet — only the voting rights are delegated.

FLR is the native gas token of Flare Network. To delegate and earn FTSO rewards, you need WFLR (Wrapped FLR) — an ERC-20 version of FLR. Wrapping is a 1:1 conversion: 100 FLR = 100 WFLR. You can unwrap at any time. Always keep some FLR unwrapped for gas fees (we recommend at least 5 FLR).

Vote power is the amount of WFLR you have delegated to a provider. It determines your share of the rewards. Vote power is snapshotted at a specific block each reward epoch — this is called the vote power block. You need to have your WFLR wrapped and delegated before this snapshot.

Yes. On Flare you can delegate to up to 2 providers from a single address, splitting your vote power by percentage (e.g. 60% PriceKraken + 40% another provider). However, VIP status with PriceKraken requires 100% delegation to PriceKraken.

You stop earning delegation rewards from that provider immediately (effective from the next vote power snapshot). Your WFLR stays in your wallet — nothing is locked. You can re-delegate at any time. If you had VIP status, you lose it until you delegate 100% again.

Go to Portfolio → Main Wallet and click "Delegate Now" or use the VIP Onboarding. The process automatically clears your existing delegations and delegates 100% to PriceKraken in one flow.

EOA stands for Externally Owned Account — a regular wallet controlled by a private key (e.g. MetaMask, Ledger). This is your main wallet where your FLR and WFLR live. In contrast to a PDA (smart contract wallet), an EOA is directly controlled by you and can send transactions on the blockchain.

Flare has two separate reward mechanisms. FTSO delegation (C-chain) lends your vote power as WFLR to a data provider like PriceKraken — you never move the tokens, and you earn a share of the price-oracle rewards. P-chain staking is validator staking: you lock native FLR on the Platform chain and delegate it to a block-producing validator, earning consensus rewards. Both can run in parallel with the same wallet and the two reward streams stack.

Staking as a delegator (to an existing validator) requires a minimum of 50,000 FLR. The minimum lock-up period is 14 days, the maximum is 365 days. Your delegation cannot end later than the validator's own staking end date, so in practice you pick a validator whose stake runs long enough to cover your chosen duration. Running your own validator requires 1,000,000 FLR and is out of scope for this guide.

Staking happens on the P-chain, but your FLR lives on the C-chain. You need a two-step cross-chain transfer:

1. Export from C-chain: burns FLR on C-chain and produces a cross-chain UTXO. A small C-chain gas fee applies.
2. Import on P-chain: consumes that UTXO and credits the FLR on P-chain.

The easiest way is the official Flare Portal (Stake → Move FLR to the P-chain) or Bifrost Wallet (mobile, built-in stake flow). Ledger is fully supported via both. Reserve ~2 FLR on C-chain to cover gas. After the import, you'll see your P-chain balance in the same portal.

Once your FLR is on the P-chain:

1. Open Flare Portal → Stake and pick Delegate.
2. Choose a validator. Things to check: uptime ≥ 99%, delegation fee (typical 5–15%), remaining free stake capacity, and an end date that is further out than your own chosen end date.
3. Enter the amount (≥ 50,000 FLR) and the duration (≥ 14 days). The UI shows the expected APY and when rewards and principal will unlock.
4. Sign the delegation transaction. It is locked until the end of the period — there is no early withdrawal.

PriceKraken runs its own P-chain validators — the easiest path is to stake directly with one of them. The active node IDs (and their uptime, fee, remaining capacity) are listed under Our Validators on pricekraken.de. Delegating your stake to a PriceKraken validator stacks perfectly with delegating your FTSO vote power to the PriceKraken data provider — one wallet, two reward streams, same team.

Current P-chain staking rewards are in the ballpark of 10–14% APY, depending on network participation, the validator's fee and how long you lock. Rewards are paid out to the C-chain at the end of your lock-up period together with your principal. Staking rewards are independent of FTSO delegation rewards — you can (and should) collect both.

After the lock-up period ends, the tokens automatically become available on the P-chain (they don't move back on their own). Bring them home via:

1. Export from P-chain: creates a cross-chain UTXO.
2. Import on C-chain: credits the FLR back to your normal wallet balance.

In Flare Portal this is Stake → Move FLR to the C-chain. A small P-chain + C-chain fee applies (usually < 1 FLR combined). Once back on C-chain, the FLR can be wrapped to WFLR, delegated, restaked, or sent as usual.

Yes — and it's the recommended setup. The two mechanisms use completely separate balances: WFLR on C-chain for FTSO delegation, native FLR on P-chain for validator staking. You can run both on the same EOA and collect both reward streams independently. Staked FLR on the P-chain does not contribute to your FTSO vote power, so only C-chain holdings influence your PriceKraken delegation.

VIP status is based on FTSO delegation: 100% of your C-chain WFLR delegated to PriceKraken on both EOA and (if active) PDA. P-chain stake is a separate pool and does not enter the VIP calculation, but it also does not hurt — a wallet that stakes on P-chain and delegates 100% of its WFLR on C-chain is fully VIP-eligible.

A data provider submits price feeds to the FTSO system on C-chain and is rewarded in WFLR from the inflation pool; delegators lend vote power and share those rewards. A validator runs a P-chain consensus node and is rewarded for producing blocks; stakers lock native FLR with a validator and share those rewards. On Flare the two roles are tightly coupled: every FTSO data provider is required to also run a P-chain validator with a self-bond of at least 1,000,000 FLR (3,000,000 FLR or more is considered healthy and is what serious operators run). In other words, every legitimate FTSO provider is also a validator — PriceKraken is no exception. That's why staking to a PriceKraken validator and delegating FTSO vote power to the PriceKraken data provider go to the same team, the same infrastructure, and the same reward stack.

The Rich List adds up native FLR + WFLR + sFLR per C-chain address. P-chain stake is tracked on a different chain by a different address format and is not currently counted. If you moved a large balance to the P-chain, your displayed tier may look smaller than your real holdings — this is expected and will be updated once Flare exposes a stable cross-chain lookup.

A PDA (Personal Delegation Account) is a smart contract wallet created by the Flare Network's ClaimSetupManager. It holds your delegated WFLR separately from your main wallet, shielding you from the most common phishing attacks and accidental transfers. Your EOA private key still controls the PDA via the ClaimSetupManager — so this is not a defence against a stolen key. The protection is against bad signatures: funds can only leave the PDA by first being withdrawn to your main wallet, so a scam dApp that tricks you into signing a direct WFLR transfer or a malicious ERC-20 approve simply can't reach the PDA balance.

A PDA is optional but recommended. It adds a layer of protection for your delegated WFLR. You can be a VIP Delegator without a PDA (just delegate 100% from your main wallet). But if you activate a PDA, it must also be 100% delegated to PriceKraken for VIP status.

All WFLR in your PDA is automatically transferred back to your main wallet. The PDA contract is deactivated (but not deleted — you can re-enable it later). Your delegation is removed since the WFLR moves. You may lose VIP status if the PDA was part of your delegation setup.

Go to Portfolio → Transfers. Select the Wallet → PDA direction, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. Your wallet may show a warning about sending to a contract address — this is normal and safe for PDAs.

Go to Portfolio → Transfers, flip the direction to PDA → Wallet, and transfer. This uses the ClaimSetupManager.withdraw() function which transfers WFLR directly — it is not an unwrap, your WFLR stays as WFLR.

Flare is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain designed for decentralized data acquisition. It provides protocols like the FTSO (Flare Time Series Oracle) that deliver reliable price data on-chain. FLR is the native token used for gas, governance, and delegation.

FTSO data providers like PriceKraken submit price feeds (e.g. FLR/USD, BTC/USD) to the Flare Network every ~90 seconds. Providers are rewarded for accurate submissions. Delegators who lend their vote power to a provider share in these rewards.

Yes. The PriceKraken Portal is a non-custodial interface. We never have access to your private keys, seed phrases, or funds. All transactions require your explicit approval in your wallet (MetaMask, Bifrost, Ledger, etc.). The Portal only reads blockchain data and sends transactions that you sign.

No. Delegation only lends your vote power — your WFLR never leaves your wallet. You can undelegate at any time. There is no slashing on Flare Network. The only cost is opportunity cost if you delegate to an underperforming provider.

PriceKraken charges a delegation fee (a percentage of your FTSO rewards, set on-chain). The Claimbot has separate per-claim fees: Tentacle at 0.5 FLR/claim, Kraken at 5 FLR/claim. Loyalty Rewards have no additional fees.
