We had two works accepted for ICISC 2022.

One is our second follow up work on Sleeve (the first first follow up work is here). The other is my first single author paper. I need to emphasize that I am really proud of the title of this work!

And I also should say that, despite of the pun, it is technically true. The work introduces a concrete reputation mechanism on a stake based ledger, hence the title. The idea is to repurpose the delegation framework we developed, and it is already deployed at Cardano, in order to allow users to ‘assign trust’.

The idea is to create a special delegation method (without disturbing the consensus protocol) which would mean a relationship of trust among the users. Since it is based on stake, it can be publicly verifiable in the ledger.

Our work will be presented (yes, I am writing it in advance) at ICISC 2022 in the next few days.
