TL;DR: The RootstockCollective Foundation is excited to announce a new update, bringing key improvements to enhance the user experience for everyone in the community!
Building on the success of RC V3.2, with cheaper Gas fees and UX enhancements, this V4.0 update makes it even easier to Stake your $RIF, Create Proposals, and Get your Rewards. We also recognise the Collective Shepherds who enter the game as the first set of community delegates as we go live in Tally and the dApp with an enhanced Delegation User Experience!

Tracking your rewards is now more intuitive with the ability to switch between Simple and Detailed views in My Rewards…
- Simple View keeps it streamlined, showing only key metrics like claimable and estimated rewards, making it easy to check your rewards at a glance.

Your Personal ABI% (Annual Backers Incentives %) is now visible in My Rewards, giving you a clearer understanding of the incentives you’ve realized from Backing…
- Previously, Backers could only see the overall rewards but lacked insight into their individual incentive rate. Now, your Personal ABI% is displayed directly, helping you track the portion of rewards you’ve received over time. This improvement makes it easier to evaluate your rewards, optimize your allocations, and make informed decisions about your Backing strategy.
Replacing Total Allocations with My Allocation to give you a clearer understanding of how your votes are distributed…
- Previously, Total Allocations showed your share from the total backing a Builder received, which led to confusion.
- Now, My Allocation directly displays the number of votes you have allocated to each Builder, ensuring full transparency over your contributions.
- This update makes it easier to track and adjust your allocations based on your Backing strategy.

Optimising Smart Contract size to make adding new features in the future easier…
- The smart contract containing the BuilderRegistry and the BackersManager capabilities has been migrated into two separate contracts - BuilderRegistry and the BackersManager, creating more space for future enhancements.
- Previously, all logic was contained in a single contract, limiting the available space for adding new features.
- Now, by splitting it into two contracts, we’ve freed up space, making future upgrades and improvements more seamless.
Please note that future activation dates for NFT badges are provided as a guide only - exact dates and conditions for the boosters will be published closer to the time, and are subject to change.
