Dear Livepeer community,

In January, Protofire [launched](https://medium.com/protofire-blog/protofire-launches-livepeer-tools-5cb73a461dd2) the Livepeer.tools project to ensure visibility for token holders across transcoders they bond with, thus promoting smarter decisions. Today, we are glad to release [Livepeer.tools 2.0](https://github.com/protofire/livepeer-alerts-backend/releases/tag/v2.0.0)

The features and improvements introduced add new benefits for LPT token holders and Delegates alike, enabling greater visibility and control over staking.

#### Motivation

We noted that LPT token holders have certain limitations for tracking bonded Delegates:

- A lack of easy-to-use tools and sufficient information to make the right decision when staking LPTs (bonding) to a Delegate;
- Lack of more Delegates statistics;
- A user can’t monitor the whole Livepeer network in order to find better Delegates to bond to;
- A user is not aware of many events in the Livepeer network.

#### Improvements

Brief list of new features:

- The backend was strengthened by adding new resources such as the Livepeer subgraph hosted by the Graph Protocol (currently used by the Livepeer explorer) and new statistical calculations functions.
- New calculated and aggregated information related to Delegates and rewards, for example:
  - ROI (tokens earned every 1,000 staked LPTs)
  - Historical rewards information and trends
  - Delegate business rules configuration changes (reward cut, fee share)

- The system now supports up to nine different notifications:
  - Delegator is ready to bond
  - Delegator is in an unbonding state, notify rounds left to be able to bond again
  - Delegate changes the rules
  - Weekly earnings summary: every seven rounds, Delegator receives a summary of rewards per round

- The user can now select the frequency of notifications between Daily and Weekly

##### This pictures shows the messages sent subscribers on the Delegate status changes per each round.

In addition, several bugs were fixed, as well as website and e-mail layouts were overhauled, improving the user experience.
