Governance Scope
Planned – To be activated post-mainnet
Tythe’s governance model is not all-powerful — by design.
It is scoped to empower credible actors to shape the future of the protocol, while preserving the non-negotiable integrity of the DISC Engine and its enforcement logic.
What Governance Can Control
Once live, Tythe governance will be responsible for protocol-level decision-making in the following domains:
Protocol Upgrades
Smart contract updates, scoring modules, staking logic
Metric Model Adjustments
Proposals to introduce, retire, or reweight metrics
Platform Integrations
Approval of new ecosystem partners or onboarding flows
Credonation Logic Updates
Changes to Credonate proximity rules, opt-out policies
Incentive Programs
Grant distributions, ecosystem staking pools, airdrops
Governance Parameters
Voting durations, quorum rules, bonus/penalty rates
Index Visibility Logic
Leaderboard logic for Cred List, inclusion criteria for Cred Watch
These categories evolve over time — but all are bounded by credibility.
What Governance Cannot Control
The following areas are permanently off-limits to governance:
DISC Score Interference
Scores cannot be edited, reset, inflated, or revoked
TCT Distribution Logic
Metric → Action → TCT pathways are hardcoded
BAD Status System
Flags and penalties cannot be removed by vote
Credonation Records
Cred Chain data is immutable
Individual Privacy Controls
No proposal can force disclosure of ZK-protected data
Tythe does not allow the foundation of trust, credibility, and reputation to be politicized.
Governance in Tythe is not power for its own sake.
It is a privilege earned — and a system designed to grow without ever compromising its truth layer.
“When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, but he who restrains his lips is wise.”
— Proverbs 10:19
