5ire Faucet
The 5ireChain faucet is a web-based service that provides mock 5ire Coins to users of the testnet. While these 5ire Coins have no ‘real world’ value, they will allow users to try out testnet features without having to spend real 5ire Coins on the mainnet.
The Testnet Faucet is currently available on the 5ireChain Explorer.
Validator & Nominator App
Validators and Nominators play vital roles in maintaining the security, stability, and decentralization of the network. It’s essential to understand the roles and responsibilities of Validators and Nominators within the 5ireChain ecosystem.
Let’s explore the crucial roles played by them within the 5ireChain ecosystem, along with the minimum requirements to utilize their functionality, and most importantly, their significant contributions to the growth and security of the 5ireChain network.
Who are Validators?
Validators play a crucial role in maintaining the security and functionality of 5ireChain through the consensus mechanism (SPoS). They validate transactions, create new blocks, and ensure network finality.
To become a 5ireChain Validator, participants must stake a minimum of 100,000 5IRE tokens as a guarantee of good conduct. The network rewards Validators for their security contributions and highly incentivizes them for their Sustainability and Reliability scores.
However, if a Validator violates rules or exhibits bad behavior, the network automatically deducts a portion of their stake (slashing) as a penalty.
Being a Validator carries significant responsibility, as they are accountable for both their stake and the stake of their Nominators.
Prerequisites for Becoming a Validator
To become part of the validator whitelist, participants will need to stake 5ire coins in the validator-specific staking pool and input the 5ire Native Chain address associated with their 5ire wallet.
The details for the validator-designated staking pool are as follows:
Minimum stake: 100,000 5ire tokens
Lock-up period: 12 months
Staking APY Rewards: 20%-35%
Click here to visit the validator-specific staking pool.
Please note that validators will receive APY rewards in addition to the testnet incentivization program; APY rewards do not factor into the total airdrop rewards for validators.

Validator Application
The Validator Application provides 5ire Validators with a user-friendly interface to monitor and manage their nodes efficiently. By using this application, Validators can contribute to the stability and security of the blockchain while earning rewards.
The Validator App allows Validators to perform tasks such as validating transactions, facilitating block creation, and participating in consensus with other Validators.
To begin your journey as a Validator on the 5ireChain, simply click on this link after meeting the minimum requirements. It will guide you through the process of becoming a Validator.
Who are Nominators?
Nominators play a key role in the consensus mechanism (SPoS) by selecting and financially backing trusted validators who create new blocks and validate transactions. This promotes decentralization and enhances network security. Unlike validators, nominators passively participate without running nodes or managing uptime — which further ensures an accessible and balanced ecosystem.
Prerequisites for Becoming a Nominator:
5ire Wallet Extension: Ensure you have downloaded the 5ire Wallet Extension on your browser and your wallet is set up.
Stake: To become a Nominator, it is essential to stake a minimum of 5000 $5IRE Coins in the nominator-specific staking pool.
Click here to visit the nominator-specific staking pool.
Nominator Application
The Nominator App offers a user-friendly interface to monitor and manage their nominated stake and associated Validators. Nominators actively participate in the 5ireChain network by staking their 5ire Coins to support the selection of trustworthy Validators. In return for their support, Nominators receive a portion of the Validators’ earnings/rewards.
You can find more information on the process and details of onboarding as a nominator by clicking here.
Incentivized Testnet Airdrop
Through Testnet Thunder: GA, we invite individuals, enterprises, and node operators to take part in our incentivized testnet program by becoming contributors to the 5ireChain network and operating as validators and nominators within the testnet. Validators and nominators are eligible for an airdrop from a pool of 5.25 million $5IRE coins on the mainnet.

Conclusion
Validators and Nominators are essential components of the 5ireChain ecosystem, each playing a crucial role in maintaining the security, stability, and decentralization of the blockchain network. Validators ensure the integrity of transactions and contribute to overall security, while Nominators support the selection of Validators and participate in the consensus mechanism. By utilizing the Validator and Nominator apps provided by 5ireChain, these participants can efficiently contribute to the network’s functionality and be rewarded for their contributions.

5ire Staking
February 2024 saw the successful launch of Staking v1 on the Ethereum chain, marking a significant leap forward in maximizing the value of your crypto assets. In this inaugural release, users could enjoy a lucrative 12% Annual Percentage Yield (APY) with a secure 45-day lock-in period.
This contributed immensely to not only the stability of the network but also helped establish a robust foundation for the 5ire ecosystem. Excitingly, by the end of the month, we will introduce more staking options with auto-adjustment of APYs and diverse lock-in periods, offering users greater flexibility in tailoring their staking strategies.
5ire Staking V2 introduced a host of new features aimed at enhancing user experience, flexibility, and transparency.
More Lock-in Period Options:
One of the most significant upgrades in Staking V2 was the introduction of more lock-in period options. Users now have greater flexibility in choosing the duration for which they want to stake their assets. Whether it’s a short-term commitment or a longer-term strategy, users can now choose the lock-in periods tailored to meet diverse investment preferences. It is always a great idea to align your staking strategy with your individual financial goals and risk tolerance.
Auto-Adjusting and Boosted APY:
Staking V2 introduced an innovative auto-adjusting APY (Annual Percentage Yield) mechanism, designed to optimize rewards based on certain conditions (including but not limited to pool size, and market conditions). Through advanced algorithms and real-time data analysis, 5ire dynamically adjusts APY rates to ensure competitive returns for stakers. This will enable users to capitalize on opportunities while mitigating risks, enhancing the overall efficiency and profitability of staking on the platform.
In simple words, when the staking pool reaches a particular threshold, all members of the pool receive an automatic boost in their APYs.
Ability to See Transaction History:
Transparency and accountability are paramount in DeFi, and Staking V2 prioritizes these principles by offering users the ability to view their transaction history seamlessly. Whether it’s monitoring staking rewards, tracking withdrawals, or reviewing past transactions, users can now access comprehensive transaction logs directly from their dashboard.
