Looking through Dusk’s sortition design, I came across a rule that’s easy to overlook.
The basic idea is simple: more DUSK means more weight and a higher chance of being selected.
But after a provisioner is selected, 1 DUSK is removed from its weight before the next extraction.
That 1 DUSK doesn’t remove the advantage of a larger stake, but it adds a little friction against repeated selections while keeping stake important for network security.
It’s not a fix for whale concentration. Just a subtle incentive adjustment built into the mechanism.
These small details are often where protocol design gets interesting.
