Governance
Rules that cannot be quietly changed.
What Noesea governance can change, and what no one can.
Governance governs the protocol, never the truth of a claim. No governance vote, token holder, team key or operator can declare a claim true or false, override a verdict, choose a panel or change a vote.
Adjudication rules — panel selection, commit and reveal windows, quorum, verdict and slashing math — are fixed in each deployment, and every dispute records the rule snapshot it ran under. Token governance cannot change them.
Token governance holds a narrow, enumerated surface: bounded fee settings, emission allocation and treasury withdrawals, each behind a public vote and a timelock.
Deployment-team roles are handed to on-chain governance before the first claim can be registered, and the resulting authority map can be read back from chain.
Authority surfaces
Fees & emissions — governed
Fee levels and splits within hard on-chain ceilings, emission allocation and the reward-claim fee. Changes need a public token vote and a timelock, and can be vetoed during the security council's limited term.
Treasury — governed
Treasury withdrawals execute only from a passed governance proposal, in public.
Dispute & slashing rules — not governed
Selection, timing, quorum, verdict and slashing rules are constants of the deployment. A change cannot reach an active or finished case.
Upgrades — none
Core contracts are not upgradeable. A new rule set ships as a successor deployment that participants choose to adopt. Earlier verdicts stay on chain, and anyone can re-derive them with noesea verify-verdict.
