Hi #Songbird Community,

Since our launch, the #Senators have been actively discussing TSO ethics and It is time to build Songbird's first TSO #ethics scoring system.

Recently we have seen TSOs openly discuss collusion, TSO best practices, and the costs of running one. 1/🧵

@ftso_au, one of the very first TSOs on Songbird providing data since September 2021, who has also brough @flaremetrics to the #Songbird ecosystem; shed light on how expensive running a TSO can be.

@flareoracle_io, another OG TSO on Songbird who brought $sFORT to Songbird 2/🧵

-offered to look after smaller, more ethical TSOs by delegating to them. A few other TSOs joined the initiative.👏

@TsoAtlas, brought up the ethics discussions among TSOs and challenged complacency in our ecosystem.

@HugoPhilion mentioned that @FlareNetworks has planned 3/🧵

-proposals for TSO improvements so that participation by smaller actors can be easier. (Mostly from an engineering perspective, I presume.)

@4DadsFtso, sparked another ethics discussion on delegating based on reward rate vs. raw data. 4/🧵

@banker_defi, brings us in-depth analysis of on-chain data which gives insight and a new perspective on studying #TSO #ethics.

@lIllIlllIIIll's @SparkCoin_io donated 123k $SGB to @flrfinance's Oryy wallet to help re-peg $cand. Another ethical gesture in the ecosystem. 👏
5/🧵

Many more projects and citizens of the #Songbird #Flare ecosystem contributed to the discussions.

It's time to build ethics together.

I invite you to reply to this thread with your suggestions and ideas. Some #Senators already shared their ideas on our #discord channel. 6/🧵

Specially asking the TSOs such as @TsoAtlas, @ftso_au, @ftso_eu, @flareoracle_io, @4DadsFtso to share their thoughts.

What metrics would you use to score #TSO ethics?

Each ethical metric can have 1 point, unethical metrics can deduct 1 point. 7/🧵

@TheSatraps is in the process of deploying our own TSO on Songbird and Flare. Your insights and suggestions can make our #TSO journey an ethical example for the future TSOs on #Songbird and #FlareNetwork. ☀️

We will take all suggestions by Dec 15th.
