▶️Claim Manager
Claims Manager Module Overview
The Claims Manager Module is designed to store and retrieve proof-based claims, which are then consumed by other Quicksilver modules (e.g., Participation Rewards, Governance by Proxy, and other incentive or governance-related structures). By centralizing the management of these proofs, the module ensures efficient, trust-minimized claim verification across the protocol.
Key Responsibilities
Storage of Claims
The module maintains a secure database of user claims, enabling other modules to reference proofs for eligibility or reward distribution (for instance, verifying whether a user participated in certain on-chain actions or governance processes).
Proof Retrieval
When another module needs to confirm a claim’s validity, the Claims Manager Module provides the relevant proof and associated metadata.
Flexibility & Scalability
Because the module is designed to handle a broad range of proof types, it can be extended to support new or evolving use cases over time, including inter-module communications or cross-chain proofs.
Use Cases
Participation Rewards
Proof-based claims (e.g., a user’s validator selection or DeFi engagement) can be stored here and verified to determine reward eligibility under Quicksilver’s incentive structures.
Governance by Proxy
Quicksilver’s upcoming module uses proofs from the Claims Manager to determine voting power for native chain proposals. For example, it confirms a user’s staked position or delegated power on the originating chain to ensure accurate and fair representation of votes.
Cross-Module Coordination
By centralizing proof data, the Claims Manager simplifies collaboration between Quicksilver’s other modules, reducing overhead and maintaining consistent verification logic.
Benefits
Single Source of Truth A unified, secure module for handling the proof layer of on-chain processes.
Enhanced Efficiency Streamlines claim validation by eliminating the need for repeated proof submissions or duplicate storage.
Future-Proof Design Supports varied proof structures, giving Quicksilver the flexibility to accommodate new incentives or cross-chain verifications as the ecosystem evolves.
Conclusion
The Claims Manager Module underpins the proof-based functionalities of Quicksilver, providing a robust and scalable framework for storing and retrieving claims. By serving as a central repository for all proof-related data, it empowers other modules—like Participation Rewards and Governance by Proxy—to operate more efficiently and consistently, ensuring a reliable, trust-minimized user experience across the Quicksilver protocol.
