Marshal

Becoming a marshal

To become a marshal, you need to stake at least 1,000 PTM tokens in the vault contract. After the staking, you will need to open a proposal on why the community should vote and accept you as a marshal.

Working of a marshal

Once chosen, marshals are tasked with examining the evidence before voting in an A/B manner for the party they believe correct.

Marshal reward

Marshals will be rewarded from the fee charged for the dispute resolution and the commission against their DeFi holdings.

Marshal rating

Marshals are rated based on the feedback from the traders and successful operations handled. This helps eliminate the bad from the good. If a marshal misses more than 3 summons, 50 PTM will be deducted from his staked account. Also once a marshal’s staked tokens amount goes below 1,000 PTM, the marshal will be disabled from being summoned and thus will not be rewarded. In extreme cases, marshals can be blacklisted, in rare situations like this, the marshals will lose all their staked PTM tokens.
