Running a dualSTAKE node

dualSTAKE contracts currently operate with a single escrow account. A node runner is appointed to participate on behalf of dualSTAKE by the ASA leadership or Myth Finance.

ASA communities are expected to operate their nodes and reap the additional rewards:

Node runners accrue fees from rewards, in ALGO. Fees can withdrawn at any time. The default node runner fee is 4%, though this can be configured under the protocol safeguards.

The node runner account can:

• change the participation keys of the contract, as well as the online/offline state.
• change the node runner account to another address
• withdraw accrued node runner fees

The "fee admin" role held by Myth Finance can also perform these actions.

Note: at launch, myth nodes may run the dualSTAKE contracts for a brief period, until the web interface for node management is complete.

Roadmap feature: Monitoring & Intervention

In the future, we intend to develop monitoring for node runners' consensus participation. If a node is not participating properly over an extended period of time, a Myth node will be temporarily allocated to the dualSTAKE pool (without changing the node runner fees/manager account)

The node runner must then restore their node to proper operation and issue a new key registration with their keys to take back control from the myth finance backup node.

If they fail to restore in good time, the node runner account will be changed on the contract to a new runner. Accrued fees will be distributed to the node runner before this change.
