Functionality

  • Enable staking of native token with receipt of liquid derivative token
  • Support usage of derivative in DeFi (lending, DEX trading)
  • Implement validator selection mechanisms
  • Provide reward distribution to stakers
  • Enable unstaking via privacy-preserving exit queue
  • Offer slashing protection mechanisms

+ (Privacy, Anonymity, Censorship-Resistance)

  • Private staking deposits without public exposure
  • Shielded receipt token (e.g., stLOGOS) issuance
  • Private DeFi usage of derivative tokens
  • Private unstaking and redemption processes
  • Prevent linking staking activity to financial activities

Demand Validation

Potential Users: Network validators, DeFi users, long-term holders

Use Cases:

  • Securing the network while maintaining DeFi liquidity
  • Earning staking rewards without locking capital
  • Using staked assets as collateral in lending
  • Trading staked positions without unstaking delay

Possible Implementation

  • Pooled liquid staking: Users deposit into shielded pool, pool delegates to validators, receive fungible liquid staking token
  • Direct validator delegation: Users privately delegate to specific validators, receive non-fungible staking position NFT
  • Restaking protocols: Stake once to secure multiple protocols with private rewards

Technical Validation

Risks & Challenges:

  • Validator selection mechanism design (private vs transparent)
  • Reward distribution calculations on encrypted balances
  • Slashing protection without revealing positions
  • Governance mechanisms for validator set management
  • Exit queue implementation maintaining privacy
