Governable Parameters

The following parameters can be adjusted by DAO vote within stated bounds. Anything not listed is constitutional and requires constitutional-change procedure (3/4 supermajority + 30-day timelock).

Token economics

β (prize-pool ratio)	0.60	[0.40, 0.80]	Share of ad revenue to prize pool
Fee → burn ratio	50% of fee	[25%, 75%]	Of the 1-β fee bucket
Fee → Treasury ratio	37.5% of fee	[10%, 70%]	Complementary to burn + stake
Fee → stake yield ratio	12.5% of fee	[5%, 50%]	Complementary to burn + Treasury
In-app purchase recycling	50% burn / 50% Treasury	varies	Of $POP-denominated IAP revenue

Trust Ladder multipliers

Tier	Default α	Bounds	Notes
L0	0.5x	[0.25, 0.75]
L1	1.0x	[0.8, 1.2]	Fixed reference
L2	1.2x	[1.0, 1.5]
L3	1.4x	[1.2, 1.8]

• Quadratic-voting + Reputation governance formula
• US / UK geoblock (regulatory, not protocol-economic)
• Cliff + vesting schedule for Team, Investors, Ecosystem (commitments)
• The constitutional-change procedure itself
