On-chain name of method: nominationPools_create

Parameters

parameter	type	optional	description
amount	BN	false	The amount of funds to delegate to the pool
root	string	false	The account to set as [`PoolRoles::root`]
nominator	string	false	The account to set as the [`PoolRoles::nominator`]
bouncer	string	false	The account to set as the [`PoolRoles::bouncer`]
waitFor	WaitFor	false	wait for block inclusion or finalization
account	KeyringPair	false	account that will send and sign the transaction
options	SignerOptions	true	used to overwrite existing signer options

Returns

On failure, a reason for the failure is returned. On success, the function will return a object of type PoolCreateTxSuccess. This object contains the details of the transaction and your newly created nomination pool.

Minimal example

You will need to set up the dev enviornment required to run this example. For instructions, check out our docs here.
If you're sending an extrinsic (i.e conducting a transaction) you will need to replace the demo seed phrase with your own seed phrase. The rest of the code should work as is.

Inside your-file-name.ts, add the following code:

avail-js

import { SDK, WaitFor, Keyring, BN } from "avail-js-sdk"
 
const main = async () => {
  const providerEndpoint = "wss://turing-rpc.avail.so/ws";
  const sdk = await SDK.New(providerEndpoint);
 
  const Alice = 'This is a random seed phrase please replace with your own';
  const account = new Keyring({ type: "sr25519" }).addFromUri(Alice);
  const amount = new BN(10).pow(new BN(18)).mul(new BN(10000)) // 10_000 Avail
 
  const root: string = "5GrwvaEF5zXb26Fz9rcQpDWS57CtERHpNehXCPcNoHGKutQY" // Alice
  const nominator: string = "5GrwvaEF5zXb26Fz9rcQpDWS57CtERHpNehXCPcNoHGKutQY" // Alice
  const bouncer: string = "5GrwvaEF5zXb26Fz9rcQpDWS57CtERHpNehXCPcNoHGKutQY" // Alice
 
  const result = await sdk.tx.nominationPools.create(amount, root, nominator, bouncer, WaitFor.BlockInclusion, account)
  if (result.isErr) {
    console.log(result.reason)
    process.exit(1)
  }
 
  console.log(JSON.stringify(result, null, 4))
  process.exit()
}
main()

Run the code using:

ts-node your-file-name.ts
