Collator Selection pallet.35//!36//! A pallet to manage collators in a parachain.37//!38//! ## Overview39//!40//! The Collator Selection pallet manages the collators of a parachain. **Collation is _not_ a41//! secure activity** and this pallet does not implement any game-theoretic mechanisms to meet BFT42//! safety assumptions of the chosen set.43//!44//! ## Terminology45//!46//! - Collator: A parachain block producer.47//! - Bond: An amount of `Balance` _reserved_ for candidate registration.48//! - Invulnerable: An account guaranteed to be in the collator set.49//!50//! ## Implementation51//!52//! The final `Collators` are aggregated from two individual lists:53//!54//! 1. [`Invulnerables`]: a set of collators appointed by governance. These accounts will always be55//!    collators.56//! 2. [`Candidates`]: these are *candidates to the collation task* and may or may not be elected as57//!    a final collator.58//!59//! The current implementation resolves congestion of [`Candidates`] in a first-come-first-serve60//! manner.61//!62//! Candidates will not be allowed to get kicked or leave_intent if the total number of candidates63//! fall below MinCandidates. This is for potential disaster recovery scenarios.64//!65//! ### Rewards66//!67//! The Collator Selection pallet maintains an on-chain account (the "Pot"). In each block, the68//! collator who authored it receives:69//!70//! - Half the value of the Pot.71//! - Half the value of the transaction fees within the block. The other half of the transaction72//!   fees are deposited into the Pot.73//!74//! To initiate rewards an ED needs to be transferred to the pot address.75//!76//! Note: Eventually the Pot distribution may be modified as discussed in77//!
