Plexus cycles

The plexus process is divided into cycles, which means that the right to create and confirm blocks is distributed among Plexus Pools on cycles, but not on separate blocks. The rights are distributed 5 cycles ahead.

For example, there is the 10th cycle and the rights to create and sign blocks in this cycle are distributed for the15th cycle, in the 11th cycle for the 16th, etc.1 cycle is 1 440 blocks (24 hours).

The full plexus cycle is 12 cycles:

1. After the address delegation, it will be in the queue for 2 cycles.

2. After 2 cycles, MINE tokens located on the address will be used in the distribution of rights to create and sign blocks, and the status of the address will be confirmed.

3. After 5 cycles, the first reward will be accrued and the address status will become active.

4. The reward will be frozen during the next 5 cycles.

Therefore, a full plexus cycle is the time from sending MINE tokens to the stake to receiving the first reward from the PLEX token, which is 12 cycles. If the Plexus Pool has free PLEX tokens, it can pay rewards to its delegators as soon as they are received - 7 cycles.

The full plexus cycle is valid when the Plexus Pool is changed or when the address is topped up with Mine tokens.
