A Decentralized, Independent Governance Model
Pre-qualification of block producer candidates
A majority vote of council members is needed to pre-approve new block producers. Each BP must meet minimum technical standards, and must have a verified identity.
Review of block producer compliance & termination
The council monitors all block producers, verifies that performance meets minimum thresholds, and in the case of non-compliance can terminate BPs.
Advise on direction of codebase and pricing
The council advises Metallicus and other Proton contributors on the direction of the codebase, and sets the block producer rewards and resource pricing for apps.
Term Limits and Equal Votes
All members of the council have an equal vote, and serve for a term of 2 years. The council nominates and votes on its own replacements.
