Parameters

  • address — hexadecimal address of the witness whose brokerage rate you want to query

​
Response

  • brokerage — the current brokerage percentage (0-100) set by the witness for reward sharing

​
Use case

The wallet/getbrokerage method is used for:
  • Checking the current reward sharing rate of a witness before voting.
  • Comparing brokerage rates between different witnesses to maximize voting rewards.
  • Monitoring changes in witness brokerage policies over time.
  • Building witness comparison tools and voting recommendation systems.
Brokerage rates can range from 0% to 100%. A rate of 20% means the witness keeps 20% of block rewards and distributes 80% to their voters. Lower brokerage rates generally mean higher rewards for voters.
