Hi all, I am looking for ways/ideas to automate validator selection strategy of a nomination pool via a smart contract based on on-chain metrics of a validator (such as number of stakers, slashed history, how long they have been validating, etc). Something like 1kv programme but on-chain. We have …

Hey, I’ve been thinking about this for Talisman’s nomination pools recently! One example of contracts managing some nominations on the relay chain are the Lido finance contracts . Looks like they’re reliant on an oracle to read state. We also had a brief conversation with Phala about implementing s…

[image] jonathan: We also had a brief conversation with Phala about implementing some nomination pool strategy logic in a Phat contract and it seems possible, since you can make http requests from a Phat contract. How is this going? Are you guys still working on it? [image] jonathan: One…

I keep coming back to this, and I find it immensely valuable to have. If there was a pool that would autonomously mimic 1kv behavior, I would happily start using it. This would allow some pools to essentially act as ETFs, tracking certain behavior. Doing it via oracles and so on is a good start, …

[image] kianenigma: Staking: allow nomination mirroring · Issue #13862 · paritytech/substrate · GitHub might also be a good easy way to achieve this. Thanks @kianenigma for your response. This is interesting and I can imagine a Staking UI where a potential staker can choose to either: Stak…

With respect to nomination mirroring, I think doing this at the smart contract level would be the right place for it. One of the issues of the 1KV is high variance, i.e. it can only nominate some of the validators some of the time, not all of the validators all of the time. It would be interesting …

I think state query via XCM is quite challenging at the production stage. But we used ink to call a smart contract on another chain . So I assume VMP on ink smart contracts is possible. Having said that, the lack of documentation or work on the XCM state query is the major blocker (especially if we w…

XCM state query is probably a bad way to do it. Instead, there should be a pallet for querying state on other chains by traversing down from the relay-parent hash into the remote header and state root.

I like that idea for sure, but is there any documentation or PoC for that? I wonder how that can translate to a generic remote chain state query pallet that can be built into a chain extension. At least on Astar, we want to build pallets that can serve a generic utility to most contracts and avoid c…

It looks like the topic has gradually shifted to having a state querying mechanism. I think Phala’s Phat Contract can definitely help to build a State Oracle: We have implemented a request-response programming model on Phat Contract. It enables a Phat Contract to watch and respond to a smart cont…
