🔎Glue Layer 1 Validation

What is a Substrate Address and Why Do You Need It?

In the Glue blockchain ecosystem, bonding and security is managed on the lower layer, the Relaychain. The Glue Relaychain is built on substrate and therefor recognises a different encryption algorithm.

To interact across the ecosystem, when necessary, your account’s address is converted into a substrate address. Your EVM address and derived Substrate address are linked, so you control both with the same wallet. This address is needed whenever you are directly reading the other layers via a block explorer.

For full transparency, when connecting your wallet to a page that leverages a Substrate address, we will present it to you. This allows you at any time to verify what is happening across the multiple layers of the Glue ecosystem.

The Relaychain exists specifically to ensure all multi level chains can work together, keeping all of the benefits and minimising the downside of multiple networks.

Viewing the Relaychain

To view the Glue Relaychain, you can visit an open source explorer such as polkadot.js.org and enter in a public web socket. You can find a Glue hosted web socket HERE.

Add your derived address to your address book. This will allow you to track and quickly check anything as needed.

1. Copy the Derived Address from the Glue Hub.

2. Press 'Add Contact'.

1. Paste it into the contact popout and give it a name.

View Your Vault Balances

After adding your derived address, you can begin scouting through the vaults HERE.

Specify the lookup parameters to find your total stake.

1. Select incentivizedVesting as the “State Query”.

2. Select stake(AccountId32) as the “function”.

3. Select your created address as the “Option<AccountId32>”.

4. Press the “+” on the right hand side.

The stake will present without decimal places. So you can remove the last 18 numbers to see your bond in whole GLUE.

If you wish to go a step further and see into each Vault. You can do so with the same screen, under the following parameters.

1. Select incentivizedVesting as the “State Query”.

2. Select poolMembers(u32, AccountId32) as the “function”.

3. Select the PoolId under “u32”

   Note: The pool IDs is your vault identifier. The Identifiers (Vault IDs) are outlined below.

4. Select your created address as the “Option<AccountId32>”.

5. Press the “+” on the right hand side.

If you wish to look deeper into validation and the contributions to the pools. You can find it HERE.

If you added your address to your address book within the explorer, you’ll find your address in the pool under your defined name.
