Smart Redelegations

Polli's intelligent redelegation system continuously monitors validator performance and automatically moves your stake from underperforming validators to better alternatives, ensuring optimal returns and minimizing risk.

How It Works​

Our system analyzes validator performance across multiple dimensions and executes strategic redelegations when necessary. The process is designed to be proactive, protecting your stake from poor-performing or risky validators.

Performance Monitoring​

Polli tracks key validator metrics including:

  • Uptime & Reliability - Monitors missed blocks and overall network participation
  • Slashing Events - Tracks recent penalties and jail status
  • Commission Rates - Analyzes fee structures relative to network averages
  • Validator Health - Assesses overall operational status and recent changes

Redelegation Triggers​

A validator is flagged for redelegation when it exhibits concerning performance indicators:

  • 🚫 Recent slashing events - Multiple penalties within a recent period indicate operational issues
  • ❌ Low uptime - Frequent missed blocks reduce rewards and increase risk
  • 💰 Excessive commission - Fees significantly above network average (evaluated using statistical analysis)
  • 🔒 Extended jail periods - Validators jailed for too long after slashing events
  • ⚠️ Operational concerns - Other red flags that impact validator reliability

Validator Selection​

When redelegation is triggered, our sophisticated scoring algorithm evaluates all available validators to find the optimal destination. The algorithm considers:

  • Performance metrics and historical reliability
  • Current stake distribution to maintain diversification
  • Commission competitiveness
  • Network contribution and decentralization factors

The system automatically selects the best-performing validator(s) that meet our quality standards and executes the redelegation on your behalf.

The Redelegation Process​

  1. Continuous Monitoring - Validators are analyzed on every optimization cycle
  2. Performance Analysis - System identifies underperforming or risky validators
  3. Destination Selection - Algorithm selects optimal destination validator(s)
  4. Simulation & Validation - Transaction is simulated to ensure success
  5. Execution - Redelegation is broadcast to the blockchain
  6. Completion - Cosmos blockchain processes the redelegation (typically 21 days to complete)

Safety & Risk Management​

  • Proactive Protection - Automatically moves stake away from risky validators
  • Diversification Maintained - Redelegations respect portfolio balance requirements
  • No Downtime - Your stake continues earning rewards during the redelegation period
  • Blockchain Native - Uses standard Cosmos redelegation mechanisms (no custody risk)

By continuously optimizing validator selection, Polli ensures your stake is always allocated to the most reliable and profitable validators available.
