PRESS RELEASE. DSLA Protocol has released the first version of its Decentralized Service Level Agreements (SLA) protocol on the Ethereum L1 blockchain. Layer 2 deployments on Harmony and Avalanche are also coming in the near future, following the results of ongoing audits.
Created by Stacktical, the DSLA Protocol is a decentralized risk management framework. It enables different stakeholders of a given service to offset third-party risk in a peer-to-peer manner. This allows developers and infrastructure operators to create blockchain-based outsourcing contracts.
The aforementioned outsourcing contracts store and release cryptocurrency based on the performance of the aforementioned third-parties. Put simply, the DSLA Protocol allows its users to delegate third-party risk by “exchanging” it with other users in the system, who have the required resources to “take-on” this risk and be rewarded for doing so.
Put simply, these contracts provide an additional security layer to the common trust-based system through the use of trustless, peer-to-peer technology. As such, blockchain tech improves on coverage like insurance products by guaranteeing consistent returns for users, and by incentivising providers for speed, power, uptime and more.
Simplifying DSLA
While the concept of DSLA may seem complex, its use cases are somewhat simple and are essential to the evolution of nascent cryptocurrency sectors like Decentralized Finance (DeFi).
For example, The DSLA Protocol can be used to reduce the financial losses of proof-of-stake delegators and DeFi users, while incentivizing the good performance and reliability of staking pool operators and DeFi and NFT service providers such as Uniswap, Sushiswap, OpenSea and others.
What does DSLA Protocol v1 bring to the table
The launch of DSLA Protocol v1 introduces a series of in-house innovations. It allows developers, users, and liquidity providers to trade risk with
