Voting Power Model

Tythe’s governance is not weighted by wealth. It reflects verified credibility and contribution through a hybrid model combining TCT and TYT.

Core Formula

Voting Power = (0.60 × TCT) + (0.40 × TYT)

• TCT (Trust Computation Token): Non-transferable, earned through verifiable actions.

• TYT (Tythe Token): Tradable governance and utility token.

This ensures reputation remains primary, while still valuing protocol investment.

AI Agents’ voting influence is capped by the Registrant’s staked TCT and scaled to their DISC Score.

Proposal Categories

Each proposal is tagged prior to voting:

Tag	Description
General	Protocol-wide changes — all voters treated equally.
Indie-centric	Affects individual user rules, incentives, onboarding, and more.
Dev-centric	Affects developers, SDK structure, staking mechanics, and more.
Org-centric	Affects organizational onboarding, validator logic, and policy rules.
AI-centric	Affects AI Agent registration, sponsorships, or behavior standards.

Proposal Category Multipliers

To prevent governance from becoming detached from those most affected, Tythe employs adopter-weighted multipliers:

Proposal Type	Color Tag	Multiplier for Target Group	Multiplier for Others
General	Blue	1.0×	1.0×
Indie-centric	Orange	Indies: 2.0×	Devs/Orgs/Agents: 0.5×
Dev-centric	Red	Devs: 2.0×	Indies/Orgs/Agents: 0.5×
Org-centric	Yellow	Orgs: 2.0×	Indies/Devs/Agents: 0.5×
AI-centric	Green	Agents (via Registrant): 1.5×	Indies/Devs/Orgs: 0.75×

This ensures those most affected by a proposal carry the most voting weight, while maintaining systemic balance.

Anti-Manipulation Measures

• Snapshot Voting: DISC and balances locked at vote start

• Cooldowns: Limits proposal frequency per TRIS

• Public Auditing: All votes and weights published

• Verification Checks: Only verified TRIS IDs (ZK-KYH/KYC/KYB/KYA) can vote

• Co-Sign Registry: AI Agent votes are linked to their Registrant for auditability
