Presentation on the Cheqd ToIP Layer 1 Governance Framework

  • Alex shared this link to the Cheqd GF: https://docs.cheqd.io/governance/ 
  • There were many excellent questions during the presentation—some of them below.
  • The governance model is based on using proof-of-stake (POS) using Cheqd tokens.
  • Mary Lacity asked about how Cheqd would protect against the danger of centralization with POS.
    • Alex explained how the design is intended to maximize distribution of the Cheqd network.
  • Scott Perry asked about the danger that the Cheqd token holders act entirely in their self-interest and therefore the biggest stakeholders will dominate the voting and governance.
    • Alex offered several possible options for how excessive domination can be prevented, such as putting a limit on the total stake any one party can have for governance, and requiring a certain overall distribution of nodes.
