Goldsand Solution

Goldsand implements a Halal staking protocol that solves the issues in existing staking products

Goldsand avoids any staking income from impermissible transactions. Goldsand achieves this goal as follows:

  1. Goldsand validators inspect all unconfirmed transactions before proposing a block

  2. These transactions are simulated to check if they interact with any impermissible applications

  3. Any impermissible transactions are blacklisted and ignored. Goldsand proposes blocks that only contain halal and permissible transactions.

The transaction filtration process happens within the validator node. You can review the performance of the Goldsand validator node here.

Does this filtering affect the staking yield?

The short answer is no, there is minimal effect of filtering impermissible transactions with Goldsand. Any impermissible transaction is replaced with a permissible transaction in the proposed block.
