Finding an Operator (the Marketplace)
Where you delegate matters: a pool’s commission, reliability and penalty history all affect what you earn and how safe your principal is. The Anemos block explorer includes an operator marketplace to help you compare pools and choose well before you delegate.
The operators directory
The explorer’s Operators page (at /operators) lists every pool on the network with the figures
that matter to a delegator:
- Commission — the slice of rewards the operator keeps (lower means more for you). A pending commission increase, if any, is shown with its effective date.
- Capacity — how full the pool is against its maximum stake, shown as a fill bar. A nearly-full pool may not have room for a large deposit.
- Oracle availability — how reliably the pool attests the network’s price feed.
- Consensus availability — how reliably the pool participates in block production.
- Penalty history — any oracle deviations the pool has been slashed for, and whether it is frozen or banned.
The safe-operator score
To make comparison easy, each pool gets a single composite safe-operator score. It blends the signals above — rewarding low commission, high oracle and consensus availability, a clean penalty history, and healthy (not empty, not full) capacity — into one number you can sort by. Use it as a starting point, then look at the underlying figures for the pools at the top.
You can sort and filter the directory — for example by commission range, by healthiest first, or to exclude frozen or banned operators.
Delegate directly from the marketplace
Each pool has a Delegate action that deep-links into your wallet with the pool pre-filled, so you can go from comparing operators to staking in a couple of clicks. From there the flow is the normal delegation process.
Keeping track of your delegations
Once you have delegated, every Anemos wallet shows a My Delegations view under Staking listing each of your positions — the pool, your principal, your claimable rewards, the operator’s commission, and any unbond countdown — so you never lose track of where your coins are. The explorer’s per-account page shows the same delegation positions.
