Delegation Return Calculator

Any custom coin of the Minter network with a CRR of not equal to 100% when delegated to the validator has a value different from the market one.

Manually it is difficult to make the necessary calculations, so different projects offer their services for calculating the profitability of delegation in different coins. Consider the most famous of them.

Calculator inaccuracy


It should be noted that any such calculators can calculate the reward only on the basis of current or historical values ​​of the Minter network:

The size of the rewards depends on the number of coins delegated by all participants of the Minter network. It is impossible to predict how many coins will be delegated each day. Constant redelegation reduces the actual size of the reward compared to the ideal result.
The size of the rewards depends on the fees paid by all Minter network members. Each transaction, each message in the transaction, each issue of coins - all this requires payment of a commission. It is not possible to predict how many transactions will be sent each day. Commission from transactions increases the actual size of the reward compared to the ideal result.
The size of the reward depends on the current value of the Custom coin and how much of the issue is delegated.
In addition to the direct calculation of remuneration, many Validators use various Loyalty Programs in the form of accruing cashback, which cannot be taken into account in the calculator.
Therefore, the actual size of the award may vary up or down.
