General Subnet Module Curation DAO
The general subnet (s2) operates without a limiting consensus mechanism, allowing flexible weight allocation but requiring protection against abuse. The Module Curation DAO serves this purpose by maintaining an on-chain whitelist of validated module key addresses through a 2/3 majority voting system.
Purpose and Function
The DAO protects against dishonest weights on junk modules by:
- Evaluating module applications based on clear value propositions
- Maintaining a curated whitelist of approved modules
- Enabling removal of modules that no longer meet standards
- Ensuring only quality modules receive stake-weight allocations
Note: Since the whitelist stores ss58 addresses, modules don't need to reapply after deregistration.
Module Requirements and Economics
Whitelist Conditions
- Only whitelisted modules can receive stake-weight allocations
- Whitelisting is required for reward eligibility
- Modules must demonstrate clear value to the Commune ecosystem
Economic Model
- Modules define stake-weight requirements for access
- Access bandwidth scales with allocated stake
- Rewards increase with stakeholder demand
- Flexible pricing models based on stake-weight
Application and Registration Process
Modules can join through two pathways in the Governance Portal:
-
S2 Application
Propose Change → Create new S2 Application- Full DAO review and voting process
-
Direct Registration
Propose Change → Register a Module → S2- Must meet pre-established criteria
Governance Structure
Decision Making
- 2/3 majority required for all decisions
- Members can initiate removal votes
- Applications undergo collective review and discussion
Platform Integration
Future Developments
The system will expand to include:
- API for modules to check stake-weight allocations
- Module idea suggestion platform
- Integration with new human-centric subnets
- Enhanced delegation capabilities for existing validators
