In decentralized projects media resources play a significant role in the coordination of ecosystem updates and providing the overview of the internal processes to the public.
Management of media resources on Callisto Network
Unlike the on-chain governance of financial flows however, the governance of media resources is tied to the management system that each media platform implements and it is not possible to decentralized the process. In order to address this issue Callisto Network relies on ECIP-93: On-chain registry of media resources since April 2018. On-chain management of finances and media accounts is an alternative to corporate management for trustless systems like Callisto Network.
"Media Resources Registry" or "Officiality Checker" is a simple smart-contract that stores a list of resources that are considered "official" and should be relied on in any case of a dispute.
Media Resources Registry UI is available here. Anyone can copy&paste a link and query the contract in order to get the information regarding any given resource. It should be noted that sub-domains are not included in the officiality checker and the presence of a domain in the "official resources list" automatically makes sub-domains valid.
Media Resources Registry
This Media Resources Registry stores:
Github link of the source codes that must be used when a hard-fork must occur. In order to avoid chain splits - the version hosted at the "official" resource must be considered valid.
Twitter, reddit, medium, telegram, discord and other media channels. In case of a dispute - announcements from the "official" accounts must be followed.
Documents and reports. To avoid any discrepancies any version indicated as "official" on-chain must be considered valid.
Web wallets, interfaces to the critical contracts. In order to avoid scams these are publicly available for querying.
Project web page and associated resources.
Updating process of the Media Resources Registry
As the ecosystem and technologies are quickly evolving it may become necessary to upgrade the Media Resources Registry at some point. The contract can not be updated so the only way of updating the registry is to deploy a new one. In order for a new version to become "official" it must be validated by the previous one. The older version of the Media Resources Registry contract must be emptied upon the updating process i.e. it's records must be erased and the only record in the older registry must be a link to the new registry.
The process of Media Resources Registry upgrade:
Deployment of a new registry
Filling new registry with records of "official" resources
Validation of the new registry by the old registry (a record of new registry address must be added to the old registry as "official resource")
Emptying of the old registry (all records except the record of a new registry must be erased)
