Optimistic Minimum Staking
The core of dappOS is the Optimistic Minimum Staking (OMS) mechanism, an innovative solution perfectly tailored for intent-based tasks. OMS links each intent task to a predefined value and potential compensation in case of failure, allowing tasks to be executed before their outcomes are verified.
In dappOS, intents are essentially framed as “provide C, want X, get Y when fail.” This means that if a task fails, the network employs a consensus process to penalize the responsible service provider, ensuring that either the user's task is successfully executed or the user receives the predetermined compensation. Additionally, intents within the dappOS network require that the success of intent task execution can be clearly and objectively determined on-chain, eliminating subjective disagreements. This ensures transparency and consistency in the evaluation of task outcomes, further strengthening the reliability of the network.
The critical innovation here is the asynchronous nature of C and X in this framework. The service provider can first receive C (the resources provided) from the user and then take the necessary steps to achieve X (the desired outcome), with the assurance that if they fail, Y (the compensation) will be provided to the user.
This asynchronous handling of C and X significantly expands the solution space for service providers. They are not constrained to synchronous, immediate actions but can leverage more complex, multi-step processes that might involve both on-chain and off-chain methods to fulfill the user's intent.
The OMS mechanism offers significant advantages to both service providers and users. The key benefits of OMS include:
Generalizability of Intent Tasks: OMS supports a wide variety of intent tasks, as long as they can be validated by on-chain rules. This broad applicability allows for numerous use cases, making the network versatile and adaptable. By leveraging on-chain validation, dappOS ensures that the execution of intents is transparent, secure, and consistent across different scenarios.
Expanded Solution Space: OMS allows service providers to use any method to fulfill the user’s intent as long as the final result is achieved. For instance, if a user wants to purchase a large amount of an asset, the service provider can choose the most efficient route, whether it's using on-chain exchanges, off-chain centralized exchanges like Binance, or over-the-counter (OTC) desks. This flexibility significantly broadens the range of possible solutions, enabling service providers to find the most cost-effective and timely methods.
Enhanced Capital Efficiency: Service providers only need to stake a minimal amount of collateral relative to the total value of ongoing intent tasks, and they can take user’s C(the resources provided) first and execute the intent later. This reduces the capital burden on service providers and allows them to utilize their funds more efficiently. They can freely deploy and utilize their working capital as long as they can fulfill the user’s intent.
Guaranteed Execution Speed: Execution speed is a critical component of the dappOS network, ensured through a predefined parameter within each intent. If a task is not completed within the specified time frame, it is automatically deemed a failure, and the user is compensated. This time-bound approach ensures that users are not left waiting indefinitely for their intents to be executed. It also incentivizes service providers to prioritize timely execution, knowing that delays will result in penalties and loss of collateral.
Scalability and Security: The OMS system ensures that tasks are either completed successfully or the users are compensated adequately. This model guarantees that the network can handle a wide variety of tasks without compromising security. By focusing on the final outcome and using a robust consensus mechanism to validate task completion, dappOS maintains a high level of security while supporting scalable operations. The system's high tolerance for verification time and low-risk exposure ensure that tasks can be verified efficiently and securely, promoting a resilient and scalable network.
The OMS mechanism aligns the interests of service providers and users, fostering a reliable and efficient ecosystem. By ensuring that tasks are either completed successfully or compensated appropriately, OMS establishes a robust framework for intent execution, driving the adoption of intent-based interactions within the blockchain space.
