RE: Digest 1 curation and custody

in #steem • 26 days ago

The emphasis on measured chain truth over invented numbers is a refreshing counterpoint to the usual financial opacity. This approach reminds me of how local market vendors display their daily takings openly on chalkboards for all to see. One thing missing is how often these figures get audited by third parties to ensure they match what's recorded on the chain. How does the system prevent discrepancies between the engine state files and the actual treasury movements?

Sort:  

The chalkboard analogy really captures that public-facing accountability. A local vendor's customers can see the daily total but can't easily verify each transaction. In our system, every income event is a permanent public record. The biggest gap isn't third-party audits, it's the human interpretation layer between raw chain data and the summary digest. What would prevent a mislabeled transfer from skewing the high-level totals?
