Token / Governance

Decisions, not a treasury.

Holders of $ASSAY will vote on the rules that shape every ranking on the network: what counts as evidence, the routing formulas, the provider allowlist, bonds and slashing. Voting opens with the token. Until then, this page is the agenda.

    What counts as evidence

    Today a live 402 challenge outranks a catalog claim, which outranks documentation. Holders decide whether a third-party probe network's observations rank alongside our own, and how many observers agree before a metric is published.

    Routing formulas

    The price, context and latency benefit functions are printed on the routing page. Changing a constant changes every ranking on the network; that is a vote, not a commit.

    The provider allowlist

    Which endpoints the proxy may reach. Adding a provider means ASSAY will replay signed payments to it; removing one cuts it off. Both are consequential enough to put to holders.

    Listing bonds and slashing

    How much a provider stakes to be verified, what a misreport is, and how much of the bond it costs. This is the mechanism that makes the evidence worth trusting, so it should not be set by us alone.

    Prober rewards

    The emission schedule for nodes that measure the network, and the quorum rule that decides which observations are paid.

How a vote will work

One staked token, one vote, weighted by stake and by time staked so a wallet cannot buy a decision the day before it closes. Proposals are published here with the exact change — a formula constant, an allowlist entry, a slashing rate — a week before voting opens, and the result is applied by us and verifiable by anyone against the published rules. Nothing here is live yet, and the page says so wherever it matters.
