​
Field semantics

​
governance.voting_threshold

Percentage of cast votes required to pass a proposal. 0.60 = 60%. Must be > 0. Applies to standard proposals (not amendments or dissolution).

​
governance.quorum

Percentage of total members that must participate for a vote to be valid. 0.40 = 40%. If quorum is not met, the proposal is rejected regardless of vote tallies.

​
governance.amendment_threshold

Percentage required to change the constitution itself. Must be >= voting_threshold. Changes to this field itself require meeting the current amendment threshold.

​
governance.dissolution_threshold

Percentage required to dissolve the entity. Wyoming statutory floor is 0.51 — the platform enforces this regardless of YAML value. You can set higher; you cannot set lower.

​
treasury.daily_spend_limit_usd

Maximum combined USD disbursement per 24-hour rolling window. Applies to all treasury actions. Enforced pre-flight.

​
treasury.reserve_minimum_usd

Minimum USD balance after any spend. A proposal that would bring balance below this amount is rejected by the escalation engine.

​
treasury.counterparty_caps_usd

Per-recipient spend caps. Supports wildcards: "*" is the default cap; "aws.amazon.com" raises the cap specifically for AWS. Most specific match wins.

​
members[].permissions

Fine-grained capability grants:
  • propose — create proposals
  • vote — cast votes
  • execute — trigger execution of approved proposals
  • amend — propose constitution amendments
  • admin — manage membership (always requires constitution-level approval)

Version history

Every amendment bumps identity.version and writes the full YAML delta to the audit chain. Historical versions are queryable.
