Use Cases

const constants = await web3.getContractConstants();
const validators = await contract.methods.getActiveValidators().call();

console.log(`Active: ${validators.length} / ${constants.maxValidators}`);

if (validators.length < 3) {
  console.warn('⚠️  Low validator count - network at risk');
}

const validators = await contract.methods.getActiveValidators().call();

// Get info for each
const directory = await Promise.all(
  validators.map(async (address) => {
    const info = await contract.methods.getValidatorInfo(address).call();
    return {
      address,
      selfStake: web3.utils.fromWei(info.selfStake, 'ether'),
      totalStake: web3.utils.fromWei(info.totalStake, 'ether'),
      commission: info.commissionRate / 100 + '%',
      delegators: info.stakerCount
    };
  })
);

console.table(directory);

const myAddress = '0x1234...';
const validators = await contract.methods.getActiveValidators().call();

const isValidator = validators.some(
  v => v.toLowerCase() === myAddress.toLowerCase()
);

console.log('Is active validator:', isValidator);
