Tying hat eligibility to staking criteria
Last updated
The staking eligibility module requires an account to stake a minimum amount of tokens (like ETH, reputation points, or DAO tokens) in order to hold a given role and access its associated powers. If that address un-stakes their tokens, or their stake is slashed by a designated judge, their hat is automatically revoked.
Requiring staking for role eligibility enhances accountability for designated powers and provides a method for delegating responsibilities that cannot be enforced through code, such as social agreements. Staking eligibility also opens up the possibility for work to be more pseudonymous and less trustful: if you do the work well, you get compensated. If you do the work poorly, your stake can be slashed.
The module's code is open source and is available here.
Staking eligibility is one of the new modules we are most excited about, as the design space is enormous. If you’re keen to use it in your organization, get in touch and we can help you set it up!

The module's source code on GitHub
The module has two special roles, which are set at the module's creation. Each role is granted to a hat, providing its wearers certain authorities in the module:
Judge - can slash wearers.
Recipient - can withdraw slashed stakes.
To view or perform the Judge's authorities:
Select the judge hat
In the Authorities section, locate the Staking Judge authority card
To view or perform the Recipient's authorities:
Select the recipient hat
In the Authorities section, locate the Staking Recipient authority card
