Protocol Explorer

[dob]

The Livepeer Protocol Explorer is like a block explorer, but for Livepeer's round based progression and roles rather than blockchain blocks.

This is not meant to be a prioritization, but rather is a braindump of some of the obvious things that could be included in the protocol explorer. Anyone should add comments, questions, discussion to this issue, but we probably should break out the actual tasks into separate issues.

Network Status

• Current round number
• Cycle in round
• Start block number of round
• End block number of round
• Current transcoder turn
• Next transcoder turn
• Previous transcoder turn
• Block number of next transcoder turn
• Total Livepeer Token issued
• Number of active transcoders
• (@yondonfu may have some additional ideas here)

Address View

• Token balance
• Bonded token
• Delegated towards (linkable to transcoder view)
• Status of bonding (are they withdrawing for example)
• Job history (linkable to job view)
• Token reward history - how much token did they receive in each reward cycle? Perhaps linkable to a reward view which shows the split from fee and block reward.

Transcoder View

• Active?
• Current total bonded stake
• Current pricing/fee share/block reward cut status
• Pending pricing/fee share/block reward cut status
• Cumulative job stats
• Slashing history

Job View

• Job status
• Broadcaster (linkable)
• Transcoder (linkable)
• StreamIDs
• Segments claimed
• Segments challenged
• Verification status

Reward View (Round View?)

TBD...can we identify a call to Reward() by any ID or round/cycle combo and then infer what happened in that round in terms of slashing and token distribution? Can we do this with publicly available blockchain data or do we have to build up the history as events/transactions are seen in blocks? If we can do the above, then can we actually generate a summary for the full round?

Transcoder election view

This is the "action oriented tool" for users to elect transcoders

• Table view listing active and pending transcoders and their key stats
• Bond action
• Delegate action
• Withdraw action

I think the transcoder election view is actually captured by https://github.com/livepeer/project-proposals/issues/2

In progress in the https://github.com/livepeer/livepeerjs monorepo.
