pFIL: Parasail Filecoin Liquid Token
Parasail creates a delegation pool where:
- Storage providers onboard their nodes to request FIL delegation (up to a Safe Pledge limit).
- Delegators deposit FIL into the pool to receive pFIL (a liquidity receipt for 1 FIL) and automatically earn a share of providers’ revenue.
How It Works
-
Onboard Node: A storage provider onboards their node to Parasail and requests delegation from the pool, capped by their Safe Pledge amount.
-
Delegator Deposit: Delegators deposit FIL and receive pFIL at a 1:1 ratio. pFIL automatically accrues rewards (revenue share) via rebasing.
-
Safe Pledge Mechanism: The Safe Pledge mechanism ensures storage providers prepay potential slashing fees for on-chain accountability. This also buffers the overall balance between the delegation pool and the provider node under Parasail’s control.
-
Reward Rates (Jump Rate Model): The reward for pFIL holders is determined by the pool’s utilization:
- 0–90% Utilization: 12–17% (increases linearly)
- 90–100% Utilization: 17–35% (increases linearly)
-
Node Retrieval: Once a storage provider repays all delegated FIL (i.e., burns the equivalent amount of pFIL), they can retrieve their node ownership from Parasail.
