Proposal to the Vaulta (EOS) Community: Rethinking the Consensus Model (DPoS to PoS)

We are currently in a state where the network’s economic model is working against itself.

PROBLEM

1 Lack of incentives to accumulate Token A

- Block Producers (BP) are not interested in holding the token

- Governance participants are not tied to its value

- Key actors in the network have no skin in the game

2 Lack of demand and utility for Token A

- The only practical action with the token is selling it

- There is no scarcity

- There is no reason to hold the asset long-term

3 Distortion of the governance model

- Voting for BPs and proxies leads to:

a) cartel agreements

b) corruption mechanisms

c) decision-making in personal interests rather than in the interest of the network

As a result:

The token economy is fundamentally flawed at its core, and network governance is inefficient.

PROPOSED SOLUTION: transition from DPoS to PoS

A transition to Proof-of-Stake can fundamentally change the incentives within the system.

WHAT THIS WILL GIVE:

1 Alignment of incentives

- Decision-makers will be forced to hold the token

- BPs and governance become financially interested in network growth and token price

2 SKIN IN THE GAME

- Any decision directly affects their own capital

- Mistakes become costly → decision quality improves

3 Emergence of real token utility

- The token becomes:

a) an instrument of participation in decision-making and a source of power

b) a security bond of the network

c) a source of income (staking)

4 Formation of demand

- Competition for participation in consensus

- Growth of demand for the token as a productive asset

5 Increased efficiency

- BPs will be forced to optimize expenses

- hiring and decisions will be based on efficiency, not agreements

Additional effects (critically important)

- Reduction of inflation pressure — fewer forced sell-offs

- Improved market perception — PoS is understood by investors

- Reduction of systemic corruption — stake replaces political agreements

- Growth of long-term holders — formation of a sustainable community

- REMOVES DRAMA from DPoS

Key idea: Today Token A is a consumable. In the PoS model it becomes capital, value!

A network where capital is tied to governance is always more resilient than a network where governance is detached from risk, as it is now.

Question to the community:

Are we ready to move from a model where no one is accountable to a model where every participant has skin in the game?

This is not just a change of consensus. This is a change of the entire economic logic of the network.
