Basic Validation Layer - Validator's Merit #6
Comments
Purpose of the basic validation layer How does validation layer help? Incentive Structure for Validators For now, let's focus on getting the basic validaton layer up and running. But in future, we should definitely consider replacing the binary incentive structure with a linear one. What we can do is make a common module (or use someone else's) for linear incentive structure (e.g. staking) and use it at different validation layers by tweaking its features as needed. |
This discussion assumes that the voting system used by validators is transparent. In other words, that anyone in the community can check any validator's decision on any paper.
According to the Proof of Idea algorithm we have:
"If the consensus among the validators surpasses the threshold for consenus (some percentage, e.g. 50 %), the idea gets published in the network and there will be associated token generation and reward sharing event".
This democratic system is responsible for maintaining OSO network free of spam and other irrelevant content. Since the validator's vote is so important, we should create mechanisms to encourage meaningful participation in voting process.
In order to achieve this, we can distribute some kind of reward for validators who vote responsibly. However, it is still complicated to define responsibility in this context, since user's opinions are (most likely) diverse. IMHO, I think we should still create some community guidelines even if there is a lot of controversy around the subject of good / bad content.
On the other hand, I think there should be some kind of penalty for those who are not concerned about the votes they cast. Let's say user1 gets chosen as a validator, and decides to choose against publishing a certain idea 1. At the end of the voting session, the only one who opposed was user1. So, is user1 trolling? What happens then?
I believe it is important to avoid cases such as:
Let me know what you guys think about this.
