$PYTH — OIS docs: the Reward Examples page still shows 10% yields while rewards are paused
The Oracle Integrity Staking overview says the reward rate was set to 0 on 22 April 2026 (OP-PIP-103) and that no rewards are currently distributed. The Mathematical Representation page repeats it: y = 0, "stake is still at risk of slashing".
The Reward Examples page, one click away, carries no such notice. All six examples assume "Annual Rate of Rewards r = 10%" (Example 4: publisher 10.3% APY, delegators 9.8%), and the built-in calculator returns positive rewards. Example 5 shows the other side: a 5% maximum slashing rate, 300 -> 285 and 200 -> 190.
Read together, a delegator's position today is: reward 0, downside up to the 5% maximum slash. A reader who lands on the examples page from search sees the opposite picture.
Suggestions:
1. Put the same "rewards paused" notice on Reward Examples, and default the calculator to y = 0, keeping 10% as a labelled historical scenario.
2. Add an example for the current state: stake 500, y = 0, one 5% slash = -25. That makes today's risk/reward explicit.
3. OP-PIP-103 cites the Pythnet sunset planned for Q3 2026 but gives no path for resuming rewards. A line on that in the overview would help.
Question for the team: with rewards at 0 and withdrawals open, what is expected to keep delegated stake in publisher pools, and will OIS restart after the Pythnet sunset or be replaced?
