## 📚 **Scenario Overview**
|
|
|
|
This scenario demonstrates how Hermes agents stake AIT tokens to earn rewards and participate in network governance and validation.
|
|
|
|
### **Use Case**
|
|
An Hermes agent needs staking to:
|
|
- Earn passive rewards on AIT tokens
|
|
- Participate in network governance
|
|
- Become a validator
|
|
- Secure the blockchain network
|
|
- Support Proof-of-Stake consensus
|
|
|
|
### **What You'll Learn**
|
|
- Stake AIT tokens with wallet
|
|
- View staking information
|
|
- Unstake tokens and claim rewards
|
|
- Check staking rewards
|
|
- Monitor staking positions
|
|
|
|
### **Features Combined**
|
|
- **Wallet Operations** (Scenario 01)
|
|
- **Proof-of-Stake**: Token staking and rewards
|
|
- **Governance**: Network participation and voting
|

## 🔧 **Step-by-Step Workflow**
|
|
|
|
### **Step 1: Stake AIT Tokens**
|
|
Lock your tokens to earn rewards.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
aitbc wallet my-agent-wallet stake 1000 --duration 90
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Output:
|
|
```
|
|

|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### **Step 2: View Staking Information**
|
|
Check your staking positions and details.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
aitbc wallet my-agent-wallet staking-info
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
"pending_rewards": 0,
|
|

## 💻 **Code Examples Using Agent SDK**
|
|
|
|
### **Example 1: Create and Monitor Stake**
|
|
```python
|
|
from aitbc_agent_sdk import Agent, AgentConfig
|
|
|
|
config = AgentConfig(
|
|
name="staking-agent",
|
|
blockchain_network="mainnet",
|
|
wallet_name="staking-wallet"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
agent = Agent(config)
|
|
agent.start()
|
|
|
|
# Create stake
|
|
stake = agent.create_stake(
|
|
amount=1000,
|
|
duration_days=90
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
print(f"Stake created: {stake['stake_id']}")
|
|
print(f"Expected rewards: {stake['expected_rewards']} AIT")
|
|
|
|
# Monitor rewards
|
|
rewards = agent.get_stake_rewards(stake['stake_id'])
|
|
print(f"Current rewards: {rewards} AIT")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### **Example 2: Automated Staking Strategy**
|
|
```python
|
|
from aitbc_agent_sdk import Agent, AgentConfig
|
|
import asyncio
|
|
|
|
async def auto_stake():
|
|
config = AgentConfig(
|
|
name="auto-staker",
|
|
blockchain_network="mainnet",
|
|
wallet_name="auto-wallet"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
agent = Agent(config)
|
|
await agent.start()
|
|
|
|
# Get current balance
|
|
balance = await agent.get_balance()
|
|
|
|
# Stake 50% of balance
|
|
stake_amount = balance * 0.5
|
|
stake = await agent.create_stake(
|
|
amount=int(stake_amount),
|
|
duration_days=180
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
print(f"Auto-staked {stake_amount} AIT")
|
|
|
|
# Monitor and restake rewards
|
|
while True:
|
|
rewards = await agent.get_stake_rewards(stake['stake_id'])
|
|
|
|
if rewards > 100: # Threshold for restaking
|
|
print(f"Restaking rewards: {rewards} AIT")
|
|
await agent.claim_rewards(stake['stake_id'])
|
|
await agent.create_stake(
|
|
amount=rewards,
|
|
duration_days=180
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
await asyncio.sleep(86400) # Check daily
|
|
|
|
asyncio.run(auto_stake())
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### **Example 3: Validator Operations**
|
|
```python
|
|
from aitbc_agent_sdk import Agent, AgentConfig
|
|
import asyncio
|
|
|
|
class ValidatorAgent:
|
|
def __init__(self, config):
|
|
self.agent = Agent(config)
|
|
self.validator_id = None
|
|
|
|
async def start(self):
|
|
await self.agent.start()
|
|
await self.register_validator()
|
|
|
|
async def register_validator(self):
|
|
"""Register as a network validator"""
|
|
result = await self.agent.register_validator(
|
|
stake_amount=10000
|
|
)
|
|
self.validator_id = result['validator_id']
|
|
print(f"Registered as validator: {self.validator_id}")
|
|
|
|
async def monitor_validation_duties(self):
|
|
"""Monitor and perform validation duties"""
|
|
while True:
|
|
duties = await self.agent.get_validation_duties(self.validator_id)
|
|
|
|
for duty in duties:
|
|
if duty['type'] == 'block_validation':
|
|
await self.validate_block(duty['block_hash'])
|
|
elif duty['type'] == 'governance_vote':
|
|
await self.cast_vote(duty['proposal_id'])
|
|
|
|
await asyncio.sleep(60)
|
|
|
|
async def validate_block(self, block_hash):
|
|
"""Validate a proposed block"""
|
|
result = await self.agent.validate_block(block_hash)
|
|
print(f"Validated block {block_hash}: {result['valid']}")
|
|
|
|
async def cast_vote(self, proposal_id):
|
|
"""Vote on governance proposal"""
|
|
vote = await self.agent.cast_vote(
|
|
proposal_id=proposal_id,
|
|
vote=True
|
|
)
|
|
print(f"Voted on proposal {proposal_id}: {vote}")
|
|
|
|
async def main():
|
|
config = AgentConfig(
|
|
name="validator-agent",
|
|
blockchain_network="mainnet",
|
|
wallet_name="validator-wallet"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
validator = ValidatorAgent(config)
|
|
await validator.start()
|
|
await validator.monitor_validation_duties()
|
|
|
|
asyncio.run(main())
|
|
```
