Voting

Governance in DGrid.AI is a decentralized process that empowers $DGAI token holders—including node operators, users, and developers—to guide the network’s evolution. By participating in voting, the community ensures protocol changes align with ecosystem needs, from technical upgrades to economic adjustments.

Voting Rights: Who Participates?

All $DGAI token holders can participate in governance, with voting power proportional to their staked tokens. This ensures those invested in the network’s success (e.g., node operators, long-term users) have the most influence.

• Voting Power Calculation: 1 staked $DGAI = 1 vote. Unstaked tokens do not contribute to voting power, incentivizing long-term commitment.
• Node Operator Advantages: DGrid Nodes and high-performance DGrid Nodes (staking ≥50,000 $DGAI) receive a 10% voting power boost, recognizing their critical role in network stability.

What Can Be Voted On?

The community votes on key decisions that shape DGrid.AI’s functionality, security, and economics:

Protocol Upgrades

• Changes to DGridRPC (e.g., adding new API endpoints for multi-modal models).
• Integrations with new blockchains or AI DA networks.

Economic Parameters

• Adjustments to the Base Price per Compute Unit (CU).
• Latency penalty factors (e.g., reducing penalties for regions with infrastructure limitations
• DGrid Nodes rewards.

Model Governance

• Whitelisting new LLMs for network support (e.g., approving a 70B open-source model).
• Blacklisting models with security risks or poor performance.

Treasury Allocation

• Funding for developer grants (e.g., building DGridRPC SDKs for Solidity).
• Allocations for security audits or bug bounties.
