Add rewards

Each integrated chain has two pools that must be funded independently. There is one rewards pool for signing and one pool for voting.

Reward pools are not tied to an epoch. If earned rewards are not claimed, they will continue to grow. If rewards are being earned but the pool has not been sufficiently funded, these rewards can be funded and claimed at a later date. Integrators should ensure that pools always have enough funds so that verifiers can get their rewards quickly.

Check the funds in a pool

Use rewards_pool() to check the funds in a pool:

export REWARDS_CONTRACT_ADDRESS="axelar1vaj9sfzc3z0gpel90wu4ljutncutv0wuhvvwfsh30rqxq422z89qnd989l"
export CHAIN_NAME="fantom"
export VOTING_VERIFIER_OR_MULTISIG_CONTRACT_ADDRESS="axelar1elaymnd2epmfr498h2x9p2nezc4eklv95uv92u9csfs8wl75w7yqdc0h67" || "0x7eeE33A59Db27d762AA1Fa31b26efeE0dABa1132"
export RPC="http://devnet-amplifier.axelar.dev:26657"

axelard q wasm contract-state smart $REWARDS_CONTRACT_ADDRESS \
    '{
        "rewards_pool":
            {
                "pool_id":
                    {
                        "chain_name":"'"$CHAIN_NAME"'",
                        "contract":"'"$VOTING_VERIFIER_OR_MULTISIG_CONTRACT_ADDRESS"'"
                    }
            }
    }' \
    --node $RPC

Add funds to a pool

Use add_rewards() add funds to a pool:

export REWARDS_CONTRACT_ADDRESS="axelar1vaj9sfzc3z0gpel90wu4ljutncutv0wuhvvwfsh30rqxq422z89qnd989l"
export CHAIN_NAME="avalanche"

export RPC="http://devnet-amplifier.axelar.dev:26657"
export AMOUNT="1000uamplifier" # choose the amount to fund (1000000 = 1 AXL)
export CHAIN_ID="devnet-amplifier"

axelard tx wasm execute $REWARDS_CONTRACT_ADDRESS \
    '{
        "add_rewards":
            {
                "pool_id":
                    {
                        "chain_name":"'"$CHAIN_NAME"'",
                        "contract":"'"$VOTING_VERIFIER_OR_MULTISIG_CONTRACT_ADDRESS"'"
                    }
            }
    }' \

    --chain-id "'"$CHAIN_ID"'"
    --from wallet \

Anyone can add funds to a rewards pool at any time.
