EOS Mainnet Extensions, new EOSIO enhancement proposal.
Some members of EOS Canada recently proposed a model sidechain model: EOS Mainnet Extension Chains. EOS Mainnet Extensions are side-chains of the EOS Mainnet which share user accounts with the Mainnet by means of an account-synchronizing Oracle. Through this solution it will be possible to scale horizontally the mainnet, allowing greater flexibility of resources and maintaining the same user base.
Key Aspects of this Proposal
1. it is impossible to create an account on the Extension chain
2. all account creations are done by synchronizing accounts existing on the EOS Mainnet (including changes in authority)
3. resources would be managed by the BPs of the Extension network
4. these BPs merely operate the network
5. the Extension network does not have its own token, and BPs are paid directly on the EOS Mainnet through a corresponding contract.
6. each chain Extension is free to experiment with governance, and the provided services
