5.2.2 – Network Operations

As a permissive Consortium for the layer 1 TRRUE Chain, the corporate TRRUE Network can be built with simple, off-chain commercial arrangements for Validator Node operations. This is the most flexible approach, so that TRRUE can ensure regulatory compliance for the SSI system, Crowdfunding Platform, and other Solutions to be built on TRRUE Chain in future.

Consortium Members stake [TRRUE] in a Validator Lockup when establishing a Validator Node on the TRRUE Chain Network.

Fig 14. Validator Staking & Network Governance

[TRRUE] is committed into the staking contract before permission is granted to join the Network as a Validator Node. Once operational, Members generate yield from Network Fees, Validator Rewards, and appreciation of the Validator Stake.

The Validator Stake may be slashed punitively in the event of fraudulent behaviour, enabling enforcement within the Consortium Network, as well as benefitting the overall token economy as more [TRRUE] will be taken out of circulation by a growing number of Members locking their Validator Stake.
