Global Parameters

Global Parameters apply across the whole protocol and all subnets. They allow to configure the protocols constraints to optimize its functioning. If problems appear, a parameter change might suffice to mitigate them. New parameters can be introduced.

Global Parameter changes require a proposal to pass through the DAO governance process.

Fields

  • max_allowed_subnets: The maximum number of subnets allowed in the blockchain. This limits the total number of subnets that can exist at once.

  • max_allowed_modules: The maximum number of modules allowed per subnet. It sets an upper limit on the number of modules that can be added globally to the network.

  • max_registrations_per_block: The maximum number of registrations allowed per block. This parameter controls the number of registrations that can be processed in a single block.

  • target_registrations_interval: The number of blocks that defines the registration interval. It determines the interval at which registrations are targeted to occur, it’s essential part of the registration burn calculation.

  • target_registrations_per_interval: The desired number of registrations per interval. This parameter sets the target number of registrations to be processed within each registration interval. Also essential part of the registration burn calculation.

  • unit_emission: The emission per block. It specifies the amount of new tokens emitted in each block.

  • max_name_length: The maximum length allowed for a network name. It sets an upper limit on the number of characters that can be used in a network name (module or subnet).

  • min_name_length: The minimum length allowed for a network name. It sets a lower limit on the number of characters that can be used in a network name (subnet / module).

  • burn_rate: The rate at which tokens are burned. It determines the percentage or amount of tokens that are permanently removed from circulation.

  • min_burn: The minimum burn required. It sets the minimum amount of tokens that need to be burned for a registration.

  • max_burn: The maximum burn allowed. It sets an upper limit on the amount of tokens that can be burned for a registration.

  • min_stake: The minimum stake required. It specifies the minimum amount of tokens that need to be staked on a module when registering.

  • min_weight_stake: The minimum stake per weight required.

  • adjustment_alpha: The adjustment alpha parameter. Used in the steepness of registration burn calculation.

  • floor_delegation_fee: The minimum delegation fee. It sets the lowest percentage that can be charged as a fee for delegating tokens.

  • max_allowed_weights: The maximum number of weights allowed weights that validator can set.

  • curator: The account ID / multisig ID of the curator in general subnet DAO.

  • proposal_cost: The cost of creating a proposal. It sets the amount of tokens required to submit a proposal, returned when the proposal passes.

  • proposal_expiration: The expiration time for proposals. It determines the duration after which a proposal is considered expired.

  • proposal_participation_threshold: The minimum participation threshold for proposals. It sets the required percentage or number of participants needed for a proposal to be considered valid.

  • subnet_stake_threshold: The stake threshold for subnets. It specifies the minimum % amount of all staked tokens, that need to be staked on a subnet to produce emission.
