How do you prevent sellers from fraudulently selling future capacity they don't actually have?

[yuansong98]

Great question. When we list a capacity from a provider, the capacity lists only after it's contracted and attested, and the provider guarantee travels with the claim. If delivery fails, that's on us to remedy, not on the buyer to chase a stranger.

So in other words, you're screwed?

[yuansong98]

we are as screwed as going to a taylor swift concert if she doesnt show up

More like if you resold tickets that turned out not to be valid, at the ticket gate. At scale.

[yuansong98]

providers directly list on us and/or authorize us to resell and redeem. in other words, listing is not permissionless. hence the taylor swift anaolgy.
