Stake Usage Guide
USER MANUAL
This manual was developed by GolosCore team for CyberWay blockchain users and can be used as reference material. The manual contains a brief description of the operations performed on the staked tokens, as well as examples with their use.
Terms used
Delegator — a user who delegates part of his/her stake to another user.
Stake — bandwidth share (RAM, NET, CPU and Storage) allocated to a user in the system for executing transactions. These resources are presented at their cost in the form of tokens. The user can dispose the share of resources both independently and/or hand it over to another user (delegate the share of resources).
Staked tokens — tokens allocated for the use of the part a part of the system resources. A staked tokenrepresents a token that has been locked up for a time period.
The concept of using system resources
User activity within the network (publish posts, send comments, vote, execute token operations, etc.) such as system resources are available to him - bandwidth resources (CPU, NET, RAM and Storage). A more active user requires more system resources. Amount of system resources available to the user depends on the number of the user's staked tokens.
A stake is a cost (in tokens) of system resources. For example, if the stake is 1000 tokens, of which 50 tokens belong to a user, then this user is allocated a share of the system resources (CPU, NET, RAM and Storage) in the amount of 5 %.
To enable a user to execute transactions, the user has to transfer part of the active tokens to stake. User activity is limited by the number of staked tokens. The user can increase the share of bandwidth. To do this, she/he should acquire active tokens and transfer them to the stake (get additional resources).
If the user's activity decreases, she/he can reduce the share of the system’s resources. To do this, she/he has to either withdraw a part of the tokens back from the stake to the active state, or delegate this part to another user.
When executing transactions, a user does not have to worry about which specific resource will be consumed more (or less) and how the staked tokens should be spent. The system dynamically and optimally distributes the user's staked tokens.
Stake token operations
transfer
transfer operation is intended to transfer active tokens to the stake. This operation is executed by the cyber.token contract. cyber.stake contract should be specified as a recipient of the funds.
Option_1. Transfer tokens to a stake for yourself.
1
$ cleos push action cyber.token transfer '[<user account>, cyber.stake, "quantity CYBER"]' -p <active key>
Copied!
Arguments:
user account — user transferring tokens to a stake.
quantity CYBER — number of tokens being transferred.
active key — user’s active key.  
The liquid balance of user tokens in cyber.token contract is reduced by the quantity. The balance of the user's staked tokens in cyber.stake contract is increased by the quantity.
Example:
1
$ cleos push action cyber.token transfer '[alice, cyber.stake, "100.0000 CYBER"]' -p [email protected]
Copied!
User alice transfers 100 CYBER tokens to stake, due to which she can increase her activity on the network. The command is signed with the active key [email protected].
Option_2. Token transfer to another user's stake.
1
$ cleos push action cyber.token transfer '[<user account>, cyber.stake, "quantity CYBER", <recipient account>]' -p <active key>
Copied!
The user account argument is a recipient of the staked tokens.
Example:
1
$ cleos push action cyber.token transfer '[alice, cyber.stake, "100.0000 CYBER", bob]' -p [email protected]
Copied!
User alice transfers 100 CYBER tokens to stake for user bob. In this case, the alice liquid balance will be reduced by the 100 CYBER. The bob balance in cyber.stake contract is increased by 100 staked tokens. The command is signed with the active key [email protected].
Option_3. Transfer tokens to a stake via using the "system stake" operation.
1
$ cleos system stake <user account> "quantity CYBER"
Copied!
Example_1: Transfer tokens to a stake for yourself.
1
$ cleos system stake alice "100.0000 CYBER"
Copied!
User alice transfers 100 CYBER tokens to stake. Unlike transfer, this operation does not require an active key signature.
Example_2: Transfer tokens to a stake for another user.
1
$ cleos system stake alice "100.0000 CYBER" --beneficiary bob
Copied!
User alice transfers 100 CYBER tokens to stake for user bob. Unlike transfer, this operation does not require an active key signature.
withdraw
withdraw operation is intended to withdraw tokens from the stake to active state. This operation is executed by the smart contract cyber.stake.
1
$ cleos push action cyber.stake withdraw <account name> "quantity CYBER"
Copied!
Tokens are withdrawn immediately without any delay. The withdrawal is executed if the remainder of user’s stake, taking into account the funds being withdrawn, as well as the funds delegated to other users, covers the costs of the resources used by the user.
Example:
1
$ cleos push action cyber.stake withdraw alice "100.0000 CYBER"
Copied!
After this operation is completed, user alice stake will decrease by 100 CYBER tokens. At the same time, active tokens will be credited to the alice account balance.
delegateuse
delegateuse operation is intended to transfer part of the stake resources (RAM, NET, CPU, Storage) to another user. However, resources are not directly delegated. Instead of resources, their cost is delegated — number of staked tokens.
The operation is executed by the smart contract cyber.stake.
1
$ cleos push action cyber.stake delegateuse '[<delegator account>, <recipient account>, "quantity CYBER"]' -p  <active key>
Copied!
Arguments:
delegator account — user delegating staked tokens.
quantity CYBER — number of staked tokens.
active key — delegator's active key.
Example_1:
1
$ cleos push action cyber.stake delegateuse '[alice, bob, "10.0000 CYBER"]' -p  [email protected]
Copied!
Alice user delegates 10 tokens to userbob. The operation is signed by the alice active key.
Example_2: delegatebw operation can be executed using the specialized cleos command.
1
$ cleos system delegatebw alice bob "10.0000 CYBER"
Copied!
undelegatebw
undelegatebw operation is intended to return delegated stake. This operation is performed in two stages:
Stage_1 request for a return of delegated staked tokens.
Stage_2 crediting returned amount of staked tokens to a stake.
Stage_1 recalluse operation can be executed to revoke a delegated stake:
1
$ cleos push action cyber.stake recalluse '[<delegator account>, <delegated stake recipient>, "quantity CYBER"]' -p  <delegator’s active key>
Copied!
Example_1:
1
$ cleos push action cyber.stake recalluse '[alice, bob, "10.0000 CYBER"]' -p  [email protected]
Copied!
User alice revokes 10 tokens that were delegated to userbob. The operation is signed by the alice active key.
Example_2: The operation undelegatebw can also be executed using the specialized cleos command
1
$ cleos system undelegatebw alice bob "10.0000 CYBER"
Copied!
Stage_2 claim operation can be executed to credit the returned amount of staked tokens to a stake:
1
$ cleos push action cyber.stake claim '[alice, bob, "CYBER"]' -p  [email protected]
Copied!
or execute the specialized cleos command
1
   cleos system claimbw alice bob "CYBER"
Copied!
Stage_2 operations should only be performed 30 days after completion of stage_1 operations.
Note:
The differences between delegation and crediting to another user are:
when delegated, the staked tokens are transferred. These tokens can be taken back without the recipient’s signature.
when crediting to a stake, the transfer comes from liquid balance.
newaccount
newaccount operation is intended to create a user and delegate staked tokens to him/her.
1
$ cleos system newaccount <creator account> <new account> <quantity of staked tokens>
Copied!
If the --transfer flag is added to this command line, then staked tokens will be transferred irrevocably to the created account.
listbw
listbw operation is intended to obtain a list of users to whom a stake has been delegated
1
$ cleos system listbw <delegator account>
Copied!
The delegator receives a list of users to whom he/she has delegated the stake.
