Staking Rewards Not Automatically Updated

Delegators staking rewards are not always updated depending upon the validator selected in the official wallet, mobile wallets, and other staking tools throughout the ecosystem.

Issue: Delegators report their staking rewards are not reflecting correctly.

Cause: Validator is not pinging their pool frequent enough or at all.

Outcome: A support request is issued via Telegram and Discord (there is a cost)

Solutions:

  • Funding a Pulse.bot account via a grant to ping all MainNet validators
  • Upgrade Staking Contract to deduct a percentage of validator rewards to fund Pulse.bot
  • Create a validator awareness campaign for setting up a ping bot

We need to make a decision as validators on how to proceed. As the ecosystem grows, so will the noise related to support requests. What would you propose?
