Public Pools Dashboard

Overview and descriptions of the information represented in the public pools dashboard.

Scruffy breaks down the public pools dashboard.


Public Pools Dashboard

The public pools dashboard can be found at this URL:
https://cornucopias.io/nodes/pools

The dashboard is the focal point for delegation.

  • Today: it simply shows performance info.
  • Future: it will help you decide the best pool to delegate your file nodes.

The landing page lists public pool servers open for delegations, sorted by performance strength by default.


Configuring a Public Pool

Once a pool server has been created, configured, and validated, do the following to list it on the dashboard:

  1. Edit the pool and change its type to public.
  2. Ensure at least 8 nodes have been delegated to the pool.

⚠️ If the pool doesn’t appear right away, wait 24-48 hours. A full reward cycle may be needed to generate performance data.

You can also update the pool’s picture and description to attract delegators.
Pictures must be appropriate for all ages (final approval by Cornucopias team).


Understanding the Public Pools Dashboard

Here’s a breakdown of the columns you’ll see (this is where you can really flex your strategy :

  • Picture - Represents the pool visually.
  • Name - Globally unique name (keep it concise).
  • Ticker - A 3-5 character shorthand for the pool (unique).
  • Region - Measured by network latency, not physical location. Possible values:
    • North America
    • Europe
    • Asia Pacific
    • South America
  • 15 Day - Total bytes served over the last 15 days.
  • Last Cycle - Bytes served in the last reward cycle.
  • Saturation - Shows available delegation slots.
    • 8 own nodes = 40 total delegations
    • 9 own nodes = 45 total delegations
    • 10 own nodes = 50 total delegations
    • FULL = no slots left
  • Active Cycles - Consecutive active reward cycles (resets if server goes down for 24h).
  • Age - Pool age since creation.
  • Strength - Ranked performance (bars). Formula:

Strength = (Byte Rate) * (Success Rate) * (Cycles with ≥1 registration %)

  • Byte Rate = average bytes/sec (15 days).
  • Success Rate = % of successful requests (15 days).
  • Cycles % = % of cycles with ≥1 registration.

Strong pools = faster + more reliable = ranked at the top.


Sorting

  • Sort by name, ticker, or strength.

Filtering

  • Filter by region, availability, or strength.

Public Pool Detail

When you click into a pool, you’ll see more detail:

Description

Pool owner’s mission, purpose, and reasons to delegate. Can include social links.

Graphs

  • Check-In Counts - How often the pool checked in (availability).
  • Request Success Rate - % of successful downloads vs. fails.
  • Delegations Count - Number of delegations per day (15 days).
  • Speed - Average bytes/sec (foundation of pool strength).

Delegators
