Waves, the blockchain application platform, announced today the roll-out of its Waves Node extension to allow a miner to automate payouts for its lessors and to receive notifications about mining progress.
The Waves open blockchain protocol is maintained by full nodes and WAVES holders. Those who do not have the required hardware and 1,000 WAVES can lease their tokens to full nodes.
- Nodes generate blocks, receive block rewards and transaction fees, and distribute these revenues between lessors.
- Nodes have different payout conditions, such as frequency, the proportion of returns distributed, and additional tokens.
Now, to make Waves nodes even more reliable and attractive to lessors the Waves community has launched a toolkit that will automate part of nodes’ workflow.
Node Tools Extension
Payouts can be configured according to the following parameters:
- The block from which distribution will start
- Frequency
- Percentage
Notification types:
- Node is not generating blocks. Possible reasons: (settings were changed, a balance of fewer than 1,000 WAVES, a smart account feature was activated)
- Node generated a block and received a reward
- Generating balance changed
- Payouts were distributed
“We are working hard to improve existing tools and creating new ones. In the next update, you’ll be able to add an additional token for rewards. Nodes will be able to create “blacklists” of lessors. If you have found bugs or have ways to improve the extension, please write to Issues in Repository.”
