Nomination pool
A staking structure that combines many members' VARA for nomination participation.
In plain language
Pool members contribute stake while pool roles manage nominations and certain pool operations under runtime rules.
Why it matters
Pools lower participation barriers but can separate staking participation from direct governance control.
Real Vara examples
| Referendum | Governance | Execution | Direct addresses |
|---|---|---|---|
| #4 Set the initial nomination-pool bond and commission configuration This referendum configured two entry thresholds for nomination pools and wrote a very small raw commission-cap value. | Executed | Dispatch succeeded | 65 |
| #11 Raise the nomination-pool member limit after wrong-track cancellation This referendum successfully executed the nomination-pool configuration that #9 had proposed on the wrong track. | Executed | Dispatch succeeded | 16 |
| #43 Timed-out signal supporting voting power for pooled VARA This proposal asked token holders to signal support for giving nomination-pool stake voting power, but it timed out and recorded no approved signal. | TimedOut | Not executed | 3 |
