### **Contextual constraints**
The above delegation logic assumes the following requirements to the `main staking logic` to be met:

1. On any adjustment of a staker's amount, who registered as a `delegatee`, `update_delegatees_stake()` is called to keep the delegation logic's book-keeping in sync with the amount of funds staked by stakers in the `main staking logic`. By checking if the Caller is a `delegatee`, all delegatee's calls to adjust their stake shall be forwarded *to the delegation logic* (as for example the direct withdrawal from the staker's total stake in the `main staking logic` would withdraw also the funds *delegated* to him). The delegation logic has means of adjusting the staked amount in the `main staking logic` in accordance to the changes in its book keeping, according stubs are included in the current code.

This is not settled, but we are leaning towards the main staking contract not knowing if the logic behind a StakingValidator is a single entity or a delegatee backed by several delegates.

On any adjustment of a staker's amount, who registered as a `delegatee`, `update_delegatees_stake()` is called to keep the delegation logic's book-keeping in sync with the amount of funds staked by stakers in the `main staking logic`.

3. It is assumed there is some function in the `main staking logic` that is called by the block producer every time he produces a block. (Current information: There is supposedly a function called `step()` to which this applies).

We will not do this on a block-by-block basis...

4. It is assumed that rewards for blocks produced by stakers that registered as `delegatee`s remain in the contract of the `main staking logic`, from which the eligible parties can withdraw them utilizing the delegation logic's `withdraw_rewards()`.

This is one way a delegatee/validator might organize his/her "pool" other variants are feasible too, right?

5. Every time a block was produced, the `split_reward()` function is to be called (presumably in the function referenced in 3.) . This is safe, because `split_reward()` immediately returns, if the caller is not a registered `delegatee`. It is assumed, that in this call, the earned block reward is `Call.value`. If that is not the case, the delegation logic can easily be adjusted to reference this value from somewhere else which is accessible to the contract.

At the end of an epoch - and with some (1 epoch?) delay - rewards are distributed. The StakingValidator interface allows a callback to be registered; this function will be called with information of rewards during the given epoch.
