🏁Proof of Productivity

Overview

The Proof of Productivity is periodically executed, and its result (negative or positive) leads to and influences the reward distribution based on a multi-sig token re-issuance process on liquid.

Under the assumption that a single point of notarized data (CID) exposes and thus discloses no relevant information, PoP can be viewed and interpreted as a multi-round zero-knowledge proof.

Stages of Pop

The following stages of PoP exist:

1. Actor Selection: The block-creating validator selects the PoP actors and initiates the PoP with the selected actors

2. Challenge-Response: The challenger and challengee execute/perform the PoP.

3. Rewards: The validators evaluate the notarized PoP Result and issue RDDL tokens as rewards.

The current implementation is based on MQTT. The goal is to switch XMPP to guarantee a privacy-preserving PoP.
