ETH on shards and ETH on mainnet? #38

Closed pirapira closed 6 years ago

pirapira commented 6 years ago

After reading https://github.com/ethereum/sharding/blob/develop/docs/doc.md, I have two questions

hwwhww commented 6 years ago

  1. is COLLATOR_REWARD applied on the shard? Yes.

  2. Does the expression "COLLATOR_REWARD ETH" imply that shards also have ETH? Yes. And in Phase 2 (two-way pegging), the preliminary idea is that user can call txToShard function in validator manager contract to create a receipt (with receipt ID) to a specific shard chain user address, and then the shard chain user can create a receipt-consuming transaction with the given receipt ID to spend this receipt. That's how can ETH be transferred to shard chain.

(TBD) In phase 1 (no main chain fork), maybe the easiest way to encourage validators to take part in is using validator manager contract to give some rewards ETH to the succeeded addHeader caller.

Thank you. It's much clearer to me now.
