Proposition rights
The Governors will have different rights according to their tiers. Tiers are based on Proof-of-Time (PoT), Proof-of-Devotion (PoD) and Proof-of-Governance (PoG) meaning that devotion in the system is valued more than the riches one has. Tiers do not give any additional voting powers to their holders; instead, they grant the ability to make and promote proposals on crucial matters.
Governance functions through governing eras. A governing era consists of 168 epochs. Each epoch lasts for 4 hours, which is similar to the epochs in human node validation on the chain.
A governor is considered active if he was bioauthenticated and ran a node for 164 epochs out of 168 and if he passed the necessary governing action threshold in the previous era. Every era a certain amount of required actions are presented to a governor, such as upvoting or downvoting a certain amount of proposals or voting on them in the Vortex . If a governor passes the requested amount threshold of actions then he is considered an active governor and becomes eligible to be counted in the quorums of the upcoming governing epochs.
Proof types
Proof-of-Time:
Longevity of being a human node
Longevity of being a governor
Proof-of-Devotion:
Proposal approval in Vortex
Participation in a project through Formation
Proof-of-Governance
Longevity of being an active governor
Active governing status
Governing tiers
Tiers give various proposal rights to the governors. The system is designed to emancipate a participating governor through certain stages of proposition rights based on achieved levels of different types of proofs.
Tier 1 Nominee
A nominee is a Human node who sets out to receive voting rights in any of the chambers. Although a nominee cannot partake in voting, he is already able to participate in any projects that are assembled in Formation and make proposals to chambers.
Requirements:
Run a node
New actions available:
Make any proposal excluding those connected to Fee distribution, Monetary System, Core Infrastructure, Administrative, DAO core.
Participate in Formation
Start earning Longevity as a governor
Examples:
Design
Social media presence
Education
Front-end commits
Consensus protocol commits
Ecosystem project ideas
Legal advisory
Financial management advisory
etc.
Tier 2 Ecclesiast
The second tier is achievable only when a proposal submitted by the nominee gets accepted by governors in a chamber. From this point on a governor can start actively participating in governance according to the governing requirements. Requirements:
Run a node
Have your proposal accepted in Vortex
New available proposal types:
Fee distribution
Examples:
2% of fees flow into the Formation vault to fund the network development and execute proposals.
98% of fees go to human node validators.
Monetary modification
Examples:
Implementation of Fath on the Humanode mainnet
Proportional emission distribution
Monetary Supply Balancing mechanisms
Equality of fee distribution among human nodes
Emission of HMND tokens
Tier 3 Legate
The third tier requires a demonstration of prolonged governing participation and passage of the meritocratic barrier by direct participation in the processes of the Humanode ecosystem.
Requirements:
Run a node for 1 year
Be an active governor for 1 year
Have your proposal accepted in Vortex
Participate in a project through Formation
New available proposal types:
Changes of the core infrastructure
Examples:
Combination of cryptobiometrics through multimodal biometric processing in node creation
Sybil defense through decentralized cryptobiometrics
CVM deployment control
Equality between peers in decisions on a global state
Delegation mechanics
Tier 4 Consul
Requirements:
Run a node for 2 years
Be an active governor for 2 years
Have your proposal accepted in Vortex
Participate in a project through Formation
New available proposal types:
Administrative
Examples:
Types of human nodes, their rights, and requirements;
Governor tiers: rights, requirements, and obligations;
Formation procedures and grants.
Tier 5 Citizen
By reaching Citizen tier there are no more restrictions for proposition.
Requirements:
Run a node for 4 years;
Be a governor for 4 years;
Be an active governor for 3 years;
Have your proposal accepted in Vortex;
Participate in a project through Formation.
New available proposal types:
DAO core
Examples:
Proposal system values and protocol;
Vortex voting values and protocol;
Equal voting power distribution;
Decisions on the creation of new types of human nodes;
Decisions on the creation of new types of Governors.
