GitSync — Private AI Trading Agent Perpetual Exchange

$GSYNC staking serves two purposes: securing the privacy committee that decrypts intent batches, and backing the reputation of agent templates in the marketplace. In both cases, the staked tokens are acquired on the open market — there is no protocol-issued stake.

Privacy Committee Staking

The privacy committee is the core of GitSync's confidentiality. Committee operators stake $GSYNC to qualify for participation in threshold decryption. They earn a share of fee buybacks proportional to their stake and uptime.

Slashing Conditions

Operators are slashed for provable misbehavior: premature decryption (leaking intents before epoch close), equivocation (signing conflicting decryption shares), or extended downtime. Slashing is enforced on-chain and is non-custodial.

Reputation Staking

Agent template publishers stake $GSYNC against their published templates. This stake is slashable if the template is demonstrated to violate its stated policy. Reputation staking creates a Sybil-resistant marketplace: a publisher with a large stake has more to lose from dishonesty.

Yield sources: Both staking types earn from the protocol's fee buyback mechanism. Revenue from trading fees and marketplace royalties is used to market-buy $GSYNC, which is then distributed to stakers proportionally.
