Voting Power Model

Planned – To be activated post-mainnet

Tythe’s governance is not weighted by wealth alone. It’s designed to reflect earned trust using a hybrid model that blends verifiable credibility (TCT) with protocol participation (TYT).

This ensures that every vote carries meaning and that those with the most influence have also proven the most.

Core Formula

Each TRIS ID's base voting power is calculated as:

Voting Power = (0.70 × TCT) + (0.30 × TYT)

• TCT (TruCred Token): Non-transferable, earned through meaningful actions

• TYT (Tythe Token): Tradable governance + utility token

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

Proposal Category Multipliers

To prevent governance from becoming detached from the people it affects most, Tythe introduces adopter-weighted multipliers based on the type of proposal.

Each proposal is tagged as one of the following:

Proposal Type	Color Tag	Multiplier for Target Group	Multiplier for Others
General	Blue	1.0×	1.0×
User-centric	Orange	Users: 2.0×	Dev/Orgs: 0.5×
Dev-centric	Red	Devs: 2.0×	Users/Orgs: 0.5×
Org-centric	Yellow	Orgs: 2.0×	Users/Devs: 0.5×

This ensures that those most affected by a proposal carry the most voting weight while preventing monopolization.

Eligibility Requirements (Planned)

Only verified TRIS holders will be eligible to vote.

Adopter Type	Minimum Requirements
Users	Verified TRIS + DISC Score ≥ [TBD]
Developers	Verified TRIS + DISC Score ≥ [TBD]
Organizations	Vetted TRIS + Rank ≥ [TBD]

Thresholds will be finalized prior to governance activation.

Anti-Manipulation Measures

To prevent abuse, Tythe will enforce:

• Snapshot Voting: DISC Score and token balances are locked at vote start

• Cooldowns: Limits on proposal frequency by the same TRIS

• Public Auditing: All votes and voter weights are publicly viewable

• Verification Checks: Only TRIS IDs with valid onboarding (ZK-KYH/KYB) are eligible

Governance in Tythe isn’t just a mechanism. It exists as a privilege earned by credibility.

This voting model ensures it stays that way.
