const ario = ARIO.mainnet();
const gateway = await ario.getGateway({
  address: '-7vXsQZQDk8TMDlpiSLy3CnLi5PDPlAaN2DaynORpck',

getGateways()

Retrieves registered gateways of the ARIO process, using pagination and sorting by the specified criteria. The cursor used for pagination is the last gateway address from the previous request.

const ario = ARIO.mainnet();
const gateways = await ario.getGateways({
  limit: 100,
  sortOrder: 'desc',
  sortBy: 'operatorStake',
});

Available sortBy options are any of the keys on the gateway object, e.g. operatorStake, start, status, settings.fqdn, settings.label, settings.note, settings.port, settings.protocol, stats.failedConsecutiveEpochs, stats.passedConsecutiveEpochs, etc.

}

increaseOperatorStake()

Increases the callers operator stake. Must be executed with a wallet registered as a gateway operator.

Note: Requires signer to be provided on ARIO.init to sign the transaction.

const { id: txId } = await ario.increaseOperatorStake(

  },
  {
    tags: [{ name: 'App-Name', value: 'My-Awesome-App' }],
  },
);

decreaseOperatorStake()

Decreases the callers operator stake. Must be executed with a wallet registered as a gateway operator. Requires signer to be provided on ARIO.init to sign the transaction.

Note: Requires signer to be provided on ARIO.init to sign the transaction.

const ario = ARIO.mainnet({ signer: new ArweaveSigner(jwk) });
const { id: txId } = await ario.decreaseOperatorStake(

  },
  {
    tags: [{ name: 'App-Name', value: 'My-Awesome-App' }],
  },
);

redelegateStake()

Redelegates the stake of a specific address to a new gateway. Vault ID may be optionally included in order to redelegate from an existing withdrawal vault. The redelegation fee is calculated based on the fee rate and the stake amount. Users are allowed one free redelegation every seven epochs. Each additional redelegation beyond the free redelegation will increase the fee by 10%, capping at a 60% redelegation fee.

e.g: If 1000 mARIO is redelegated and the fee rate is 10%, the fee will be 100 mARIO. Resulting in 900 mARIO being redelegated to the new gateway and 100 mARIO being deducted back to the protocol balance.

const ario = ARIO.mainnet({ signer: new ArweaveSigner(jwk) });

const { id: txId } = await ario.redelegateStake({
  target: 't4Xr0_J4Iurt7caNST02cMotaz2FIbWQ4Kbj616RHl3',
  source: 'HwFceQaMQnOBgKDpnFqCqgwKwEU5LBme1oXRuQOWSRA',
  stakeQty: new ARIOToken(1000).toMARIO(),
  vaultId: 'fDrr0_J4Iurt7caNST02cMotaz2FIbWQ4Kcj616RHl3',
});

getRedelegationFee()

Retrieves the fee rate as percentage required to redelegate the stake of a specific address. Fee rate ranges from 0% to 60% based on the number of redelegations since the last fee reset.

const ario = ARIO.mainnet();

const fee = await ario.getRedelegationFee({
  address: 't4Xr0_J4Iurt7caNST02cMotaz2FIbWQ4Kbj616RHl3',
});

Output:

{
  "redelegationFeeRate": 10,
  "feeResetTimestamp": 1730996691117
}

getAllDelegates()

Retrieves all delegates across all gateways, paginated and sorted by the specified criteria. The cursor used for pagination is a cursorId derived from delegate address and the gatewayAddress from the previous request. e.g address_gatewayAddress.

const ario = ARIO.mainnet();
const delegates = await ario.getAllDelegates({
  limit: 2,
  sortBy: 'startTimestamp',
  sortOrder: 'desc',
});

Output:
