Self attestation whitelists #24
Description
In a situation where it's desirable to have a token trade as freely as possible, there could be a use case for an identity registry that works via on-chain self attestation. On the tech side this isn't overly complex - the legal layer is where this could get challenging.
Implementation ideas (subject to change):
- If tokens are sent to an unknown address, they are frozen until the owner of the address self-attests.
- If the attestation does not occur within a set time period, the tokens are returned to the sender.
- Attestation will consist of broadcasting the hash of some form of legal document which proves the owner of the address has verified "i am from here, i am accreditted, i'm not on any black lists, etc etc etc"
- This can also be a way to deliver specific t&c for the token/org
cc @lex-node , we discussed this at length but it was a while ago, we should probably re-explore it to make sure the idea is sane before we begin implementing it
