The payment network requires fast economic finality of transactions so that purchases can be made within seconds.
Scope
3 scenarios will be worked out to evaluate possible setups:
Single operator: When a single operator runs the network, how can centralization be addressed effectively?
Validator network: A closed validator network would provide more decentralization, but hinder fast finality.
Open validator Set: Such a setup would allow any-one to propose blocks. Even the Status Wallet app could be used as a validator, as online-requirements are relaxed. Fast finality becomes even harder. related: Merged Mined Consensus
