Governance Transparency
Governance in Tythe operates on the principle of provable integrity.
Every vote, proposal, and outcome within the governance framework is recorded, auditable, and permanently attributable to verified participants through their TRIS identities.
Transparency is not an add-on — it is the foundation that legitimizes decentralized credibility governance.
This page details how Tythe ensures openness, auditability, and accountability across all governance activities.
1. Transparency Framework
Tythe governance transparency is enforced through three verifiable layers:
On-Chain Anchoring — Governance results, proposal metadata, and outcome hashes are periodically anchored to the CredibilityRegistry smart contract, ensuring immutability and public verifiability.
Off-Chain Verifiable Logs — All proposals, votes, and audit trails are maintained within Tythe’s off-chain Governance Ledger, cryptographically linked to corresponding Trovebook entries.
Public Dashboards — Governance activity is surfaced in real time through a public portal that displays verified proposals, voter participation, quorum thresholds, and final results.
Transparency Principles
Immutability
Every proposal and vote is hashed and time-stamped, with proofs anchored to the CredibilityRegistry.
Accountability
All votes are linked to verified TRIS IDs or co-signed AI Agents under their Registrants.
Auditable Weighting
TCT + TYT weight calculations are published for every vote, including category multipliers.
Traceable Decision Path
Proposal → Vote → Enforcement path is publicly traceable through a single governance receipt.
Zero-Trust Visibility
No action requires faith — every record can be cryptographically verified by any observer.
2. Governance Portal
Tythe’s Governance Portal provides a unified interface to view and verify governance activity across the network.
It serves as the public window into the protocol’s decision-making and is structured as follows:
Active Proposals
Displays all proposals currently in the voting phase, with status, quorum progress, and remaining time.
Upcoming Proposals
Lists scheduled or pending proposals awaiting review or staking confirmation.
Archived Proposals
Contains historical governance records, final outcomes, and enforcement receipts.
Participant Ledger
Allows verification of voter eligibility, DISC Scores, and weighted vote distribution.
Co-Signed Agent Actions
Dedicated section showing AI Agent votes co-signed by their Registrants, with behavioral audit proofs.
Validator Dashboard
Tracks validator participation in governance oversight and policy verification.
Every action displayed on the Governance Portal is queryable through Tythe’s public governance API for independent analytics or institutional auditing.
3. Governance Receipts
Every governance interaction — from proposal submission to vote casting — produces a Governance Receipt, which acts as an immutable audit reference stored in Trovebook and anchored on-chain.
Each receipt contains:
Proposal ID
Unique identifier following format GOV-{UUID}-V.{MajorVersion}.
Action Type
Submission / Vote / Resolution / Enforcement.
Actor TRIS
Verified human, organization, or developer ID initiating the action.
AI Agent TRIS (if applicable)
Linked co-signing agent with Registrant reference.
Proof Hash
Cryptographic hash of the governance action and payload.
Weight Applied
TCT + TYT weighting and multiplier applied at the time of vote.
Timestamp
ISO 8601 timestamp of submission or recording.
Status
Pending / Validated / Rejected / Anchored.
Governance Receipts guarantee that no governance action occurs off-record, creating a continuous chain of verifiable accountability.
4. Auditor Access and Public Verification
All finalized governance data — including proposal hashes, vote counts, and enactment proofs — can be independently verified using Tythe’s Governance Verification SDK (@tythe/gov).
This SDK enables auditors, researchers, and contributors to:
Verify proposal authenticity against the on-chain root hash.
Check voter weight computation via the hybrid TCT + TYT formula.
Validate AI Agent co-sign records using Registrant proofs.
Reconstruct full vote ledgers from publicly exposed Merkle branches.
Fast Path
Verifies Tythe’s digital signature off-chain for quick validation.
@tythe/gov.verifySignature()
Trust-Min Path
Verifies Merkle proof against on-chain registry roots.
@tythe/gov.verifyProof()
Comprehensive Path
Full validation of TCT/TYT weighting, DISC snapshot, and co-sign records.
@tythe/gov.auditReceipt()
5. AI Agent Governance Transparency
AI Agents participate in governance exclusively under a co-signed model with their Registrants.
All AI-associated votes and proposals include additional audit metadata within their Governance Receipts.
Registrant Linkage
All agent actions trace to a human or organizational Registrant TRIS ID.
Behavioral Hash
A hashed summary of the agent’s behavior history and DISC factor at the time of action.
AI Vote Ledger
Dedicated sub-ledger tracking all agent-involved governance events for public verification.
Registrant Accountability
Registrants assume full responsibility for any co-signed action by their agents.
This structure allows Tythe to advance AI governance safely — preserving transparency without granting unbounded autonomy.
6. Governance Archive and Analytics
To ensure long-term accountability and data-driven improvement, Tythe maintains a Governance Archive accessible to all participants.
Historical Proposals Index
Permanent, searchable database of all governance proposals since mainnet activation.
Metric-Based Analytics
Aggregated data showing participation by adopter class, DISC band, and proposal type.
Governance Health Dashboard
Measures proposal frequency, quorum attainment, voter turnout, and governance bias.
Annual Governance Reports
Formal summaries published by the Tythe Foundation for ecosystem transparency.
