Running a PoS Staking Pool

In this section we present a guide for how to deploy, configure and manage a POS Pool that will allow CFX holders to join to the PoS protocol just interacting with the front-end application of the PoS Pool and without dealing with the technical complexities.

Reference Architecture​

Architecture

Please note this configuration guide is to do the technical setup of the PoS Pool staking environment.

Conflux PoS Pool configuration has two major components: Interface application and full node. It needs technical knowledge for configuration of instances, ports, contracts deployment and storage configuration.

The configuration of a reverse proxy and a firewall is recommended but is out of the scope of this guide.

conflux-fans/pos-pool​

conflux-fans/pos-pool is a open source project that provides a PoS Pool interface and a PoS Pool contract. We can use it to setup a PoS Pool dApp.

Prerequisites​

The POS Pool operator needs to have the infrastructure to run the following:

  • A full/archive node
  • A Web Server Farm, or a single web server to run the POS Pool application

Run a full/archive node​

First of all, we need to run a full/archive node following the instructions in the Conflux documentation.

Deploy PoS Pool Contract​

Then we need to deploy the PoS Pool contract following the instructions in pos-pool's documentation.

Setup Pool Interface​

Finally, we need to setup the PoS Pool interface following the instructions

Summary​

Conflux-fans/pos-pool is just a reference implementation of a PoS Pool. Use it at your own risk. If you have encountered any problems, you can check it's documentation, faqs and issues.
