TL;DR

• Multi-body sortition allows for collusion- and censorship-resistant governance
• Unlike many other blockchain networks and societies that use token voting, SORA will utilize multi-body sortition in order to govern the SORA blockchain network and use of the SORA funds in a decentralized way
• In the SORA Parliament, no single body or committee can both propose and decide something; clear separation of powers allows for careful review and avoids self-selection

Ordo Ab Chao

For millennia, human societies have organized into many forms of governance. In ancient Athens, democracy evolved over a period of 200 years and improved continuously over that time. Modern democratic systems, however, ignore many of the successful principles of Athenian democracy and have mostly degenerated to easily controllable popularity contests, using weaponized social media and control over news sources. …

TL;DR

• By the end of mid November, v1 XOR on the SORA v1 mainnet will be converted to VAL
• The conversion factor between v1 XOR and VAL is 0.0628651118561449
• Around the launch of the SORA v2 mainnet, there will be a snapshot of ERC-20 XOR holdings and ERC-20 holders who have control over their private keys will be able to claim VAL on the SORA v2 network
• 94.57142857142857 VAL will be airdropped per XOR to ERC-20 XOR holders, during the first year of the SORA v2 network
• We expect the SORA v2 mainnet to launch between December 2020 — February 2021

Background

As part of outlining the vision for SORA v2, we published an article explaining the conversion of XOR from a free-floating token, to one backed by a multi-collateral reserve pool, as well as an article explaining a new validator-incentive token called VAL, that is a reward for those who secure the SORA v2 network. …

TL;DR

• v1 XOR holders will have their tokens converted into VAL such that the total amount held will constitute approximately 1/3 of the VAL supply (VAL tokens were formerly called STK in some documents)
• ERC-20 XOR will simply become XOR, without any changes
• ERC-20 XOR holders will be given approximately 1/3 of the VAL supply, after the SORA v2 network launch, via an airdrop and in exchange for performing certain actions
• The SORA Parliament will be given approximately 1/3 of the VAL supply after the SORA v2 network launch and after the Parliament is operational; the Parliament will vote on how to allocate these…

TL;DR

• Токен VAL, ранее в некоторых документах был упомянут как STK
• VAL — новый токен в экономике SORA, который используется для вознаграждения валидаторов
• Первоначальный совокупный запас VAL составит 100 миллионов и будет со временем снижаться, поскольку при проведении каждой транзакции в сети SORA v2, VAL будет сжигаться
• Владельцы VAL смогут объединяться в структуры ДАО и голосовать за распределение ликвидности в Polkaswap; распределяемая ликвидность обеспечивается половиной прибыли от кривой связывания токена SORA
• Токены VAL будут равномерно распределены между 3 группами в 3 этапа: между бывшими владельцами токена SORA v1 (в течение сентября), владельцами токена SORA ERC-20 (на старте сети SORA v2) и будущим Парламентом SORA (после запуска сети…
