Parameters

  • owner_address — hexadecimal address of the witness account updating the brokerage rate
  • brokerage — new brokerage percentage (0-100) where lower values mean more rewards shared with voters

​
Response

  • visible — boolean indicating whether addresses are in visible format
  • txID — unique transaction ID for the brokerage update transaction
  • raw_data — raw transaction data containing:
    • contract — array with brokerage update contract details
    • ref_block_bytes — reference block bytes for transaction validation
    • ref_block_hash — hash of the reference block
    • expiration — transaction expiration timestamp
    • timestamp — transaction creation timestamp

​
Use case

The wallet/updatebrokerage method is used for:
  • Adjusting witness reward sharing policies to attract more voters.
  • Setting competitive brokerage rates compared to other witnesses.
  • Implementing dynamic reward sharing strategies based on market conditions.
  • Managing witness economics to balance profitability and voter incentives.
Only registered witnesses can update their brokerage rate. The brokerage rate determines what percentage of block rewards the witness keeps (0-100%). A rate of 20% means the witness keeps 20% and shares 80% with voters. Changes may take effect after the next maintenance period.
