dot-pool-selector

Select the best nomination pools algorithmically

Criteria

The algorithm selects pools based on the following:

• The root user is verified
• The root user has skin in the game
• The pool's validators meet general standards, see more here
• The pool is in an open state
• The pool has selected an optimal number of validators

Getting started

Install the modules with npm i & run the tests with npm run test.

Usage

// Initialise the polkadot api object 
const { ApiPromise, WsProvider} = require("@polkadot/api");
const api = await ApiPromise.create({ provider: new WsProvider("YOUR_PROVIDER") });

// Initialise the ValidatorSelector
const selector = new ValidatorSelector(api, MAX_COMMISSION, MIN_STAKING, ERA); // set ERA to 0 or undefined if you want to use the current era

// Initialise the PoolSelector
const poolSelector = new PoolSelector(
    validatorSelector, // the initialised ValidatorSelector
    api, // the initialised polkadot.js api object
    options, // see ./src/Types.ts (uses a default object if unset) 
);

// get validator pools meeting the criteria
poolSelector.getPoolsMeetingCriteria();
// sample output
