Torus DAO

The Torus DAO operates fully on-chain and is TORUS stake-based, managing the protocol through proposals.

The DAO can change network parameters, propose custom changes and decide the emission rate and allocation between network and treasury dynamically to align with TORUS interests.

Proposals

Proposals are the primary mechanism for implementing changes to the Torus protocol. Any agent with sufficient stake in the network can submit a proposal. Different types of Proposals address specific aspects of governance, each with its own parameters.

Proposal types

Change Protocol and network parameters:

Change agent name length
Change minimum agent name length
Change maximum number of agents
Change maximum weights
Change weight control fee
Change staking fee
Change dividends participation weight

If you want to propose a change to the network parameters, you can use the following CLI command:

$ torus network propose-globally <key> <CID>
    --max-name-length INTEGER [default: None]
    --min-name-length INTEGER [default: None]
    --max-allowed-agents INTEGER [default: None]
    --max-allowed-weights INTEGER [default: None]
    --min-weight-stake INTEGER [default: None]
    --min-weight-control-fee INTEGER [default: None]
    --min-staking-fee INTEGER [default: None]
    --dividends-participation-weight INTEGER [default: None]

Propose the Transfer of Treasury Funds.

You can use the following CLI command to submit a treasury transfer proposal:

$ torus proposal propose-dao-transfer <proposer_key> <amount> <CID> <destination_key>

Propose Custom Change to the Protocol:

Agent Applications

Agent applications enable network members to propose new Agents. Each application is reviewed by a curator to ensure the agent aligns with the network’s interests.
