Contingent staking could affect security parameters of the protcol through potential delegation patterns, and should be investigated before implemetned.
Pros
Cons
Pro claim 1, children below
An unfriendly group could choose to open unregulated stake pools in order to steal away delegation from regulated stake pools. This could hand over a large percentage of ADA delegation and TX production to a small group of nodes.
Pro claim 2
I think the other way around, since security will depend on the smart contract, if it is well done or not. since a 3rd party does it. They can also change the rules of the game as AXIO did, which started with a 100% pool when the ISPO ended. They said I don't give you anything. I'll give you the ada back and if you want them, complete this KYC. They changed the rules of the game and since they handle the contract they could do it without consulting anything
Con claim 1
Without a clear example, this concern should be treated as too vague to be actionable or relevant. This is like claiming, “windshield wipers could cause unknown effects on drivers’ ability to operate vehicles safely.” Okay, so what would be an example? Maybe, “Windshield wipers could cause drivers to fall under hypnosis.” Ah, then let’s make sure nothing bad happens by testing, but let’s also weigh doing that against all of the accidents that absolutely will happen otherwise whenever it rains.
