Permissionless Configurable Staking Pools
We learned how The Staking Library provides a firm foundation for Staking operations, and allows anyone to have a Staking Derivative:
Then, we learned how the Operator Marketplace makes staking operations much easier, and increases the user experience for both Pool Owners and Node Operators:
Now, lets take a look at the Staking pools, and the superpowers of their Modular Architecture.
During the same transaction for creation of a staking pool, the following functionalities can be configured:
- If a pool is Public, everyone can use it.
- Private pools are only available to their owners and other whitelisted addresses.
- Pool owners can make pools public or private as they wish.
- Any contract with a
isWhitelisted()function can be used by the Private Pools.
- If you don't need an ERC20 for example, a pool can operate without an interface.
- While gETH allows multiple interfaces, Portal only allows 1 interface per derivative for security reasons.
- Interfaces should be created on the initiation process. Currently, an interface can not be added after the pool initiation for security reasons.
- New interfaces require the approval of the Senate.
- Any interface can be chosen from the list below:
- If you don't have a very active pool, you can choose your operators without a maintainer.
- Pool tasks such as management of the Operators can be automated through maintainers.
- Adding a maintainer is not a security risk, any contract or address can be chosen as a maintainer. However, it is always best to DYOR.
- Maintainers can not steal Pool fees or Pool funds.
- If you don't need liquidity, your pool doesn't need a bound liquidity pool.
- You can always change your mind later.
