Stealth Proudly Invites the Community to Rename Stealth’s Staking Token

We don’t think the name we currently have for Stealth’s revolutionary non-fungible staking token, is worthy of its place in history, help us rename it.

Stealth Quantum Proof-of-Stake (qPoS) has a unique approach to transaction validation, the core functionality of any blockchain system. Using XST, (Stealth’s native currency), transaction validators purchase their rights to process transactions and collect rewards for doing so. These rights are tokenized as non-fungible assets called “stakers”, each of which is given specific slots in a schedule of block validation.

Stealth qPoS also has a novel reputation system for stakers. As stakers sign blocks according to the schedule, they accrue a reputation score called “staker weight”. Weight increases with the square root of the net number of blocks a staker has validated, where “net blocks” means the number of blocks validated minus the number of blocks missed in the schedule. Stakers earn increased rewards proportional to weight. Typically, the more blocks a staker signs, the more it will earn for each block. Additionally, stakers with more weight are considered more trustworthy, and they influence chain trust also proportional to their weight.
