Should a QBFT Node Have a 'Validator Smart Contract'? #292

Closed KimH4nKyul closed 4 months ago

From what I understand (or heard somewhere), if you specify the validatorsmartcontractaddress value in the qbft settings field in the genesis.json file of a QBFT node (for example, 0x......089), it designates a smart contract that dynamically manages the validator nodes.

This project demonstrates this concept well: https://github.com/Consensys/validator-smart-contracts

Of course, while it is dynamic, it is not automatic, so it seems that something else is needed to add or remove node information. (Am I mistaken?)

However, it is disappointing that such an example is not seen in quorum-dev-quickstart.

I haven't tested it yet, but could it be that QBFT automatically registers this even if the validatorsmartcontract option is not specified?

solved!
