Analogy
TCR is like a membership club where you put down a deposit (tokens) to propose new members or challenge existing ones.
Definition
Abbreviation for Token‑Curated Registry, a decentralized, token‑staked list governance model.
Key Points Intro
TCR shorthand denotes:
Key Points
Staked proposals: Entries require token deposits.
Community voting: Token‑weighted challenge resolution.
Economic penalties/rewards: Stakes redistributed based on outcome.
Decentralized curation: No central authority manages the list.
Example
A TCR for reputable oracles requires 1 000 tokens to apply; challengers stake same amount to dispute quality.
Technical Deep Dive
Implements `PLCRVoting` for commit–reveal vote. Listing contract interfaces with voting to manage states: `APPLIED`, `CHALLENGED`, `ACCEPTED`, `REJECTED`. Staked tokens locked in contract until resolution.
Security Warning
Vote collusion can corrupt registry; diversify token distribution and consider quadratic voting.
Caveat
Governance attacks possible if token distribution is skewed.
