A set of minor improvements/feature requests to the existing tools by NEAR that are useful for Pro Validators and are needed before MainNet Unrestricted launch
Initiative / goal
Simplify the life of validators, providing a set of features that help their day-by-day activities. They are a different persona from Developers, however multiple needs are in common.
Hypothesis
Every successful feature will help validators to:
do the same in less time, by automating critical procedures
reduce the risks, by using tooling designed for checks and tests
optimize costs, thanks to better predictability of releases and changes
Acceptance criteria and must have scope
Every card in this epic includes the touched products and the improvement (in terms of time or risks)
Every PR with these improvements is tagged as "StakeX" on Github
Features should be as small as an epic/2 weeks of work
Stakeholders
@jimmy3dita as StakeX owner
@ilblackdragon for the strategy review
@bowenwang1996 for the technical aspects
@amgando for any documentation that might be impacted
Timeline
May 14th: Stake Wars is announced, and will have even more validators looking at our available tools
May 20th: Stake Wars officially started
Every Thursday: weekly checks on the features in pipeline, for the community updates
Every Tuesday: weekly Betanet update, which deploys any new feature to validators
Jun-August: MainNet Unrestricted is launched (these features may be blocking for that)
