Boosting a Trap 🚀

Drosera allows anyone to provide operators with gas reimbursement for taking on-chain actions by leveraging the Bloom Boost mechanism. By depositing ETH, a Trap's response action will automatically reimburse the operator based on the cost of the response and priority to be included on-chain as soon as possible. This allows for lightning-fast incident response times to be achieved while reimbursing the operator.

Reimbursement is calculated based on the gas used by the on-chain response function and the current gas price at the time of execution. Operators are incentivized to execute traps that are boosted. For mainnet, most operators will use the gas-reimbursement-required flag, which requires the trap to be boosted in order for the operator to perform a response. If you are running your own operator, you can choose to ignore this flag and execute unboosted traps as well.

To boost a trap, simply run:

drosera bloomboost --trap-address <address> --eth-amount <amount>
