Proposal: Enable Resource Redelegation to Improve Security

[aghamir]

Current Situation

To delegate resources to multiple wallets, users are required to stake TRX in hot wallets. This exposes staked TRX to security risks associated with a hot environment, potentially making them vulnerable to hacks or unauthorized access.

Proposed Solution

Introduce the ability to redelegate resources. This would allow users to:

1. Keep their TRX in a cold wallet (offline storage) for enhanced security.
2. Delegate resources from the cold wallet to a hot wallet.
3. From the hot wallet, dispatch resources as needed to other addresses.

Benefits:

• Enhanced Security: TRX would remain secure in cold storage, reducing the risk of compromise.
• Efficient Resource Management: Users can control and distribute resources from a single hot wallet without exposing their main holdings.

In the TRON network, it makes no difference when delegating resources no matter you use a cold or hot wallet when it comes to securty concerning. Your intention might be to achieve indirect or multi-layered delegation of resources, such as where 'a' delegates resources to 'b', and 'b' can then delegate the obtained resources from 'a' to another party, 'c'. However, in Stake 2.0, resources can only be directly delegated from one account to another, without allowing indirect delegation to a third party, as it would increase complexity and potential security risks.

I think the redelegation just makes things too complicated. And the operation of staking TRX in cold wallet could not be avoided by adding this type of transaction. So it would not help reduce the risk.

In my understanding, cold wallet means it won't interact with smart contracts. To achieve your goal, the cold wallet needs to permit another hot wallet; but if you do that, the cold wallet will not be cold, it become a hot wallet.
So, how can it achieve your goal based on your descriptions?

In my view, introducing resource redelegation in Tron could increase complexity and, if used improperly, It will introduce new problems.
