INTRODUCTION

At first look, it could appear that Pooled Validators go against THORChain's economic security architecture (i.e. that Node Operators put up twice the value in slash-able bonds as the assets they secure). It is conceivable for the Node Operator to individually post a lower bond than the value of the assets the node secures thanks to pooled validators. This subtlety, though, only applies to the partnership between the Node Operator and the Bond Providers. The economic model is still in place since the Network only views the THORNode as a single entity.

Removing/Adding Bond A Bond Provider can Bond and Unbond from the node as usual after being whitelisted. To add a bond, type BOND:NodeAddress>. Bonding node for RUNE: NodeAddress How much to bond based on value Bond cancellation: UNBOND:NodeAddress:Amount Amount - amount of RUNE to unbond NodeAddress - node to unbond from 0 RUNE Value only possible while the node is not active or ready, but it IS possible to do so right away after a churn (during funds migration).

METHODOLOGY

This dashboard follows simple methods to identify the users who are the new entities of the pooled validators and are not part of the classical ones. This has two actions both bond and non-bond. Hence initially, among the total validator participants, the bonded and the unbonded participants are charted. This then has the volume, ie the unbonded RUNE amount with the new participants who are nonclassic participants in validation. This is also charted with time to see the recent activity of the same. Then the rune amount with the bond and the non-bond actions are accounted for along with the participants and the cumulative participants over the chosen time period. Finally as to finish, the pooled ThorNodes and the non-bond providers are also charted with time.

The total pooled and the nonpooled validators over the whole is calculated for here and it is seen that the new pooled validators are almost the same as the non pooled validators.

The volume of the non bonded RUNE over time is charted along with the non classic validators and it is seen that the number is increasing over time with the fact that more new participants are involving and the unbond RUNE amount is also not considerably big.

The unbond RUNE with the non classic users are charted here and it is seen that only one user has the largest volume and the rest almost have the same volume.

Both the bond and the unbond participants over time is charted here and it is seen that the trend has been decreasing earlier but now in almost a stable mode except few hikes and they are comparatively small.

The chart here shows the cumulative participants over time accounting both the bond and the non bond RUNE holders.

The RUNE value of both bond and unbond is charted here with time and it is seen that Bond is higher than the unbond and the cumulative is the sum of the both.

Further trendlines that show the data such as the participants and the RUNE_to_bond volume over time is charted here along with their cumulative values.

Finally here, the timely analysis of the pooled ThorNodes and Non-bond providers are also charted. By computing all these visualizations, the new entities in the thorchain events which are the validator participants can be determined.
