Operator Marketplace
Choose your own operators.
We've learned about the Global Standard that Geode has created to establish a trustless marketplace between Staking Pools and Node Operators:
Now, let's take a look at the underlying mechanism to see how this marketplace operates.
- Configurable Staking Pools
- Node Operators
In an open market that is regulated well, one's benefit is everyone's benefit.
Profit | Expense |
|---|---|
Pool maintenance fee, up to 10%. | Gas cost |
Anyone can create a staking pool with Portal.
During the creation process, a pool is configured with certain options like maintainer, interface, maintenance fee, etc.
Some of these configurations can be changed later by the controller.
When a staking pool is created via Geode's Portal, it uses it's own isolated storage. This storage is protected from governance attacks by Dual Governance.
After a validator is created, Portal holds no ownership on the pooled funds. It is simply transferred to a unique Withdrawal Contract guarded by the pool's controller.
Profit | Expenses |
|---|---|
Up to 10% of the staking rewards. | Operational expenses. |
Up to 10% of the MEV. | Gas cost. |
Up to 10% of the Block Rewards. | Infrastructure cost. |
Permissioned Node Operators are allowed to create and operate validators on behalf of the staking pools without any collateral.
