Delegated Proof of Stake project on Stellar

MaikVogt

Hey,
I was wondering if it was possible or whether there are techniques to build a dPoS project on Stellar. On Ethereum this can be achieved by a smart contract that handles staking tokens into validator pools, slashing these tokens from a validator pool if the validator misbehaves and distributing dividends to stakers to incentivize staking. Is such a system possible on Stellar in a trustless way? Are there similar systems running on Stellar? Thanks!

MaikVogt This could currently be only done semi-trustlessly (right now). You could issue a revocable asset and if a validator misbehaves, you revoke their tokens. Dividends are easy.
Turing Signer Servers are currently in testing so you could make the revocation code immutable once those go public.

Stellar is mostly for transferring assets, I'm afraid you won't find what you want in Stellar because it seems you need a way to run trustless code which you will need to use Ethereum or similar chains
