I’ve seen some pretty useful models for delegation of authorization come up. For example, a contract deploys trust to a root node in the chain (somewhere in the chain), then the chain allows public distributed rules regarding that trust encoded in the contract via transaction. Effectively, the holder of the trust “pays” the currency of privileges to the receiver. The advantage here is the ability to transmit privileges is entirely autonomous.

Do you have a source on this I can read more about this? It sounds interesting, but as someone who works in security and understands the basics of blockchain/contracts, your description was highly confusing.
