Polkadot-K8s-Payouts

Tool that automatically claims your Kusama/Polkadot validator rewards.
Deployable in a Kubernetes cluster as a cronjob (helm chart).
Forked from https://github.com/ironoa/polkadot-k8s-payouts

How it works - Local

You can start by cloning the repo and installiing the dependencies, NodeJS and Yarn are required:

$ git clone https://github.com/w3f/polkadot-k8s-payouts
$ cd polkadot-k8s-payouts
$ yarn

Then you should create a configuration file, you can start by copying a sample provided with the repo and customizing it:

$ cp config/main.sample.yaml config/main.yaml

Now you can customize config/main.yaml, see the following configurations about how to do it. Once you are done you can run the tool with:

$ yarn start

About - Keystore Password File

The password file should not contain any trailing new line charaters, therefore you could use this command to be sure to create a properly formatted password file: echo -n "yourPassword" > yourFileName

About - Batch Size

The claims extrinsics are batched in utility.batch extrinsic calls. This parameter is the maximum number of calls to be packed into the batch extrinsic.

Optional - Grace Period

This is an optional parameter you can add to configure a grace period limitation you wish to introduce: it will prevent a claim to be triggered if the validator rewards is not "old" enough eras from the current one.
For example, in Kusama this is equivalent to a grace period of 4 days:

# config/main.yaml
logLevel: info
wsEndpoint: "wss://kusama-rpc.polkadot.io/"
gracePeriod:
  enabled: true
  eras: 16
claims:
  enabled: true
  claimerKeystore:
    filePath: /path/to/validator-000/keystore
    passwordPath: /path/to/validator-000/keystore/password
targets:
- alias: validator-000
validatorAddress: "<validator-000-stash-address>"
- alias: validator-001
validatorAddress: "<validator-001-stash-address>"  

Optional - Deep Check

This is an optional parameter you can add to force a scan starting from the last 84 era, rather then relying on the onchain account ledger information. Keep it disabled for normal operations.
