We are trying to recognize pool groups in cexplorer.io for a long time (cexplorer.io/groups/). we want to continue this and make the data publicly available via api for free
Stakepool ownership transparency. We are trying to recognize pool groups in cexplorer.io and publicly provide outputs (for MAV calculation, analytics etc)
Please describe your proposed solution.
We have been manually monitoring pool groups internally for several years thanks to Daniel, Jaromir and others.
We want to provide the data publicly, as we know there are plenty of tools and groups that could use the data.
And as a result, this data will serve to make Cardano more decentralized.
Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community.
Pool groups data are useful for developers, operators themselves, and a myriad of services - from wallets to various internal tools and analytic tools.
Increasing (though never flawless) awareness of pool groups increases decentralization and transparency of whole blockchain.
What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?
We are in Cardano since Incentivised Testnet and we have experience with recent Catalyst. We are building tooling and educating community since day one. We're not worried about not being able to deliver on what we define.
What are the key milestones you need to achieve in order to complete your project successfully?
Data available
>Analytics
>Data maintenance
>Working data
