We’ve overhauled the site and added some exciting features that are part of our mission to develop a one-stop shop for the Elastos DPoS election.

ELAnodes.com 3.0

Below is a quick summary of the functionality improvements.

  1. The entire site has been re-styled to a more visually appealing theme.
  2. Supernodes are now selectable. Click anywhere on a row to select one. Selected supernodes will be added to the statistics box in the sidebar on the left on desktop or in the dropdown toggle in the header on mobile. Here you can see the number of nodes you’ve selected as well as statistics specific to your voting list.
  3. Users can click the ‘Select Top 36 by Sort’ button to automatically select the top 36 supernodes currently displayed on the table. Accordingly, users can use the column sort features to vote for 36 supernodes based on whatever metrics they choose. The selected rows can be reset using the ‘Clear Selections’ button.
  4. The voting feature requires that users have the Elephant Wallet mobile application. This button will open a popup box on desktop with a QR code to scan your voting list into your wallet. On mobile, this button will automatically open your Elephant wallet and import your chosen supernode voting list.
  5. The ‘Rank’, ‘Votes’, and ‘Voters’ columns now show 24 hour change values.
  6. Website links have been moved to a chrome browser icon below the supernode name. This is to avoid accidentally opening links on mobile.
  7. Both desktop and mobile versions provide the ability to save a voting list without creating a user account. Simply select your vote list and copy the string provided in the popup window (desktop) or drop down toggle (mobile). You can then load this string back into the table in the future and the supernodes you voted for will be automatically selected.
  8. The search bar will filter the table entries.
  9. The plus button will open a window with additional information. This includes a description of the supernode and various other information. We will update this from time to time. Supernode owners, if you want information detailed here, just contact us and we can include it.
  10. If for any reason the payout metrics do not account for all income distribution methods for voters, a footnote will be added. In the case of ELAlliance nodes, our metrics show non-bonus payout amounts. Our scripts track each node individually. If you vote for multiple ELAlliance nodes you may recieve a larger payout.

We hope users find these features useful as they decide on which supernodes to support. We very much appreciate all the Starfish voters out there. Thank you!
