The Staking Gateway

Geode Finance utilizes a Modular Architecture, making things safer for stakers, and easier for Pool Providers.

The most crucial component is The Portal.

• Creation and maintenance of the configurable staking pools.

• Minting new tokens.

• Securing the Ether until it is staked in a validator.

• Onboarding new Operators to the marketplace.

• Management and regulation of the Operator marketplace.

• Allowing new functionalities to be implemented with ease.

• Securing it's own codebase from Governance.

• Various tasks of Oracle.

To achieve these tasks and improve the staking user experience for everyone:

1. We need to make sure every Staking Pool and Node Operator is isolated in a well organized storage space. We can also add new functionalities with ease:

🔐Isolated Storage

1. We need to define the different parties that will use this storage space, in a secure and generalized way. Thereby preventing any third party access:

🤝Dual Governance

1. We need to define the ownership of the funds explicitly, in a way that Portal doesn't hold any responsibility after validator creation:

🛡️Withdrawal Contracts

1. We need to create an upgradability pattern for both Portal and Withdrawal Contracts, so we can prevent Governance from changing these mechanisms inconveniently or maliciously.

⚠️Limited Upgradability

1. Now, we can implement The Staking Library. It should manage and provide a wide variety of features for the staking derivatives:

⚙️Permissionless Configurable Staking Pools

1. We need to have a marketplace for Pools and Operators to communicate easily:

Operator Marketplace

1. We need to have a generalized approach on price updates, that supports infinitely many staking pools:
