Proposal Lifecycle

Planned – To be activated post-mainnet

Tythe’s governance is structured not just around who votes — but how decisions are made. To ensure fairness, transparency, and trust enforcement, every proposal in Tythe follows a defined, multi-phase lifecycle.

This lifecycle guarantees that only credible actors can propose change — and that change itself is always deliberate, accountable, and reviewable.

Lifecycle Overview

Step	Phase	Description
1	Submission	A TRIS holder submits a proposal and stakes TCT + TYT
2	Review	Protocol moderators validate formatting, eligibility, and scope
3	Tagging	Proposal is assigned one of four categories (General, User, Dev, Org)
4	Voting	A public vote is opened — with weighted votes based on token formula + proposal tag
5	Resolution	Votes are counted, proposal passes/fails based on quorum + threshold rules
6	Enforcement	If passed, the proposal is enacted (on-chain or via coordination layer)

Proposal Categories

Each proposal is tagged prior to voting:

Tag	Description
General	Protocol-wide changes — all voters treated equally
User-centric	Affects user rules, incentives, onboarding, and more
Dev-centric	Affects Builders, API structure, staking mechanics, and more
Org-centric	Affects organizational onboarding or policy logic, and more

This tagging affects vote weighting multipliers, as defined in the Voting Power Model page.

Proposal Submission Requirements (Planned)

To submit a proposal, a TRIS holder must:

• Be verified

• Meet minimum DISC Score or DISC Rank

• Stake a predefined amount of TCT + TYT

This ensures that proposers:

• Are credible

• Have skin in the game

• Can’t flood the system with spam or vanity governance

Staked tokens are:

Outcome	Staking Result
✅ Proposal Passes	Stake returned + fixed % [TBD] bonus
❌ Proposal Fails (ethos-aligned)	Stake fully returned
🚫 Proposal Violates Protocol Ethos	Fixed % [TBD] of stake is burned

Voting Periods (Planned)

Default settings (subject to governance change):

• Voting Window: 7 days

• Snapshot Lock: DISC Score and balances locked at vote start

• Quorum: [TBD]% of total eligible voting power

• Passing Threshold: Simple majority or supermajority depending on scope

All votes are:

• Public

• Auditable

• Immutable

Post-Vote Enforcement

If a proposal passes:

• It is enacted automatically if on-chain

• Or coordinated through trusted multisig or governance ops if off-chain

All outcomes will be publicly published on Tythe’s governance portal and archived for historical visibility.

Tythe’s proposal system is not a megaphone, it’s a filter of credibility.
