Q1: How to check my channel’s stats?

Q2: On the stats dashboard, why is my channel staked 1 DOT but the Effective Minting remains at 0?

Conclusion: Because your staking amount represents too small a proportion of the protocol's vDOT issurance, it cannot be reflected as a percentage in permill.

How does it calculated?

EffectiveMinting = ChannelVtokenShares*VtokenIssuanceSnapshots

ChannelVtokenShares is your staking share at the current circle (each circle = 1 day).

VtokenIssuanceSnapshots is protocol’s total effective vDOT issurance (after deducted redeem).

Example:

• My channel vDOT minted: 1,000

• Bifrost vDOT total issurance: 100,000

• Bifrost vDOT redeem at the current circle: 2,000

My ChannelVtokenShares = 1,000/100,000 = 1%

VtokenIssuanceSnapshots = 100,000-2,000 = 80,000

My EffectiveMinting = 1,000/100,000*(100,000-2,000) = 980 vDOT

In actual calculations, Bifrost uses the permill function for storage. Therefore, if ChannelVtokenShares falls below 1/1,000,000, the value won't be updated in the data storage.

A Real Showcase:

• channelid_4’s vDOT minting: 0.7004 vDOT: https://bifrost.subscan.io/block/6019200?tab=event&event=6019200-20

• The VtokenIssuanceSnapshots at the circle: 5050374.5870 vDOT: https://bifrost.subscan.io/block/6012000?tab=event&event=6012000-1

channelid_4’s EffectiveMinting = 0.7004/5050374.5870 < 1/1,000,000

As a result, the data is not shown in Bifrost Storage, and channelid_4 would need a minimum total minting amount of 5.06 vDOT to be displayed.

Q3: On stats dashboard, how often is the data updated?

Since most data is on-chain data, which updated in 24 hours. Reward claimed data updated in about 20 mins.
