▶️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

1. 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).

2. Proof Retrieval

   • When another module needs to confirm a claim’s validity, the Claims Manager Module provides the relevant proof and associated metadata.

3. 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

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.
