Besides the normal Balance of each account, Pchain designated a variety of balance variables for multiple purposes. You can check your FullBalance via PIWallet, , or the RPC.

Sample Result (JSON Format)
Detail of FullBalance (natural unit: wei, 1 PI = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 or 10^18 natural units)
This balance, also called free balance, means you can do anything on Pchain with this balance (transfer, delegate, vote), your transaction Gas Fee (gas price * used gas) will be deducted from this balance.
The total delegate balance amount. If you send a delegate transaction to another address, the delegated amount will be moved from the balance field to this delegate balance. If you delegate to multiple addresses, this field will sum the total delegation amount. You won’t be able to see the detail of delegation at the blockchain level (to keep the on-chain data at a minimum). For detail of your delegated balance, you will need PIWallet or 3rd party dApp.
The total staking balance amount, from your own address. If you want to become a validator, after you sending the hash/reveal vote, your staking amount will be locked from the balance field to this deposit balance.
The total balance that other addresses delegated to your address. The balance has no effect until you vote to become a validator, then it will move to the deposit proxied balance. Before that, the other address also able to revoke their delegation. For detail of each proxied balance, see proxied_detail field
The total balance that other addresses delegated to your address that is now part of the total staking for your node. Other addresses can not revoke their delegation until the epoch reach its end. For detail of each deposit proxied balance, see proxied_detail field
The total balance of revoked delegation from addresses that previously were delegated to your address. The balance will refund when the epoch reaches its end. For detail of each pending refund balance, see proxied_detail field
The total balance of earned reward that will unlock after each specified epoch. Once each epoch reaches its end, the reward balance of epoch will move to your balance field, free to use.
Each time an address produces a new block, this address will be considered as the recipient of the reward. Below is how the reward being calculated.
For Main Chain:
20% of block reward goes to Child Chain Foundation Address 0x991cf3cee2a55d06f9c7ba511bee3fad45a1bda7
80% of block reward belongs to the miners. If the block miner has delegation from other addresses, the commission fee will be deducted first (if any), then the remaining rewards will be distributed by proportion.
For Child Chain:
The Block Reward, setup by Child Chain Owner, belongs to the miner. If the reward pool (address 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000064) doesn’t have sufficient balance, then there will be no reward to the miner. If the block miner has delegation from other addresses, the commission fee will be deducted first (if any), then the remaining rewards will be distributed by proportion.
After each address receives its reward, the reward will be divided into 12 pieces, and allocate to 12 epochs. After each epoch ends, the reward will be moved to the free balance.
For detail of each reward balance, see reward_detail field
