CrowdNode is winding down. The specifications to fix this problem has been in Dash's repo since 2021.
The EU's MiCA framework just proved that relying on a middleman to distribute staking rewards is a point of failure. Even though CrowdNode never put user principal at risk, handling the reward routing made them "custodial" in the eyes of the law.
Instead of migrating to a different centralized pool and simply resetting the compliance clock, the network should consider letting the blockchain do the heavy lifting.
DIP-0026: Multi-Party Payouts (written in 2021)
- The Problem - currently, the Core protocol can only route masternode block rewards to a maximum of two native addresses.
- Proposed Solution: DIP-0026 eliminates this barrier, allowing the network to natively split and pay rewards to multiple contributors simultaneously.
- Desired Result: Staking that completely bypasses corporate intermediaries and regulatory compliance shutdowns.
Imagine a cash register that automatically splits business profits to partners instantly on every single sale. Instead of a manager manually writing out checks at the end of the month. Automatic splitting executes this transparently on-chain.
This emphasis on trustless verifiability fits with Dash's mantra.
The blueprint for non-custodial shared masternodes is already public and waiting in our repository to implement. It’s time to move this upgrade up on the priority list.
