Building Scope of Agora Mainnet about agoramainnet HOT 1 CLOSED

This summary is output from the latest research. I'm not 100% sure about that but we could do more research based on this.

1. Changing the amount of staking required to operate the verifier from 32 to 40,000 (based on the white paper)
We can use this constant in the config.file and the value of 32e9 gwei(= 32 eth) is set to the constant in the source code.

MaxEffectiveBalance       uint64 `yaml:"MAX_EFFECTIVE_BALANCE" spec:"true"`       // MaxEffectiveBalance is the maximal amount of Gwei that is effective for staking.

2. Modifying the functionality given reward to validator (based on white paper). In the first year, 27 BOA are issued per 5 seconds. Thereafter, it decreases by 6.31 per cent per year. A total of 2.7 billion boa will be issued.
We could calculate the reward in this code.

if v.IsPrevEpochAttester && !v.IsSlashed {
	vBalance := v.CurrentEpochEffectiveBalance
	baseReward := vBalance * baseRewardFactor / balanceSqrt / baseRewardsPerEpoch
	proposerReward := baseReward / proposerRewardQuotient
	rewards[v.ProposerIndex] += proposerReward
}

3. Adding the ability to issue commons budgets (issues 50 BOA per 5 seconds for the initial approximately 5 years, totaling 1.8 billion boas)
The current code seems to use EthBurnAddressHex to burn the base fee related to the London Fork. I think we could newly create this kind of address for Commons Budget. There are more things to research for this concept.
