Farcaster Devs

Going to cast all my stupid questions in this thread as they come up 🧵👇

> Proof of Stake — Another approach is to follow Ethereum’s staking model. Anyone can run a Hub by staking ETH on a contract 

I think PoA would be better than this — this turns validator elections into an ETH bridging / event messaging problem, which is arguably worse

The problem with PoA is the question of credible neutrality. Short term while we make sure we nail down the right approach it makes sense, long term it is not aligned to a fully decentralized protocol (unless the A in PoA is governance driven, and that's its own can of worms)

Agreed

But if we need some form of validator elections, would suggest:
- native asset 🫢 
- using sybil-resistant identity based elections (qDAUs?)

The latter seems like the more interesting approach but essentially becomes corp gov

Either of these are complicated, but I would have to defer to @v regarding an answer to these
