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
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 (onchain or via coordination layer)
Proposal Categories
Each proposal is tagged prior to voting:
General
Protocol-wide changes — all voters treated equally
User-centric
Affects user rules, incentives, onboarding, and more
Dev-centric
Affects developers, API/SDK structure, staking mechanics, and more
Org-centric
Affects organizational onboarding, policy logic, decision relays, 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 Organizational 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:
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 onchain
• Or coordinated through trusted multisig or governance ops if offchain
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.
