Protocol Governance

The AI Protocol utilizes progressive decentralization to make decisions on the Protocol level

As the AI Protocol develops further, the decentralization will become more progressive

Many decisions are made by ALI Utility Token holders to ensure that users of dApps like Noah's Ark and ALI Agents are adhering to the Terms Of Service and Community Guidelines of each dApps and of the Protocol itself. These Terms were developed for the AI Protocol and its dApps, based on founding documents that were proposed and voted on successfully by ALI Token holders in Snapshot votes, to administer governance boundaries that reflect the values and standards of the AI Protocol's community.

When creators of iNFTs, ALI Agents, Hives, or other assets and/or users of the site engage in certain activity that might violate these standards and rules set by the community, users may face an error message that identifies how their content or asset creation has violated one of the rules that have been agreed upon.

Other Forms Of Asset-Powered Governance

Other forms of governance can be executed through the organic, market-driven choices that the community makes with their interactions and with their AI Assets. By purchasing the Keys of an ALI Agent, and interacting with those ALI Agents, and building collaborative IP creations though them, this is a form of "Indirect Asset Governance." Key Holders and Users can signal their support for certain AI Assets through their participation in their evolution, which helps contribute to the health evolution of the ecosystem.

Connecting Pods and ARKIVs to a Hive is also a form of "Direct Asset Governance," which is a way for Asset owners to signal their support for a Hive by the broadcasting of their Asset being connected to their Hive of choice.

How Decentralized Governance Functions On The AI Protocol

In some cases where there is a gray area, potentially violating assets and/or content may be proposed to be voted on by a Snapshot governance vote. Where there are clear cut violations of Terms or Guidelines, the user may experience a filter message while using a dApp on the AI Protocol. Below are a number of messages that clarify what the user may have triggered in their attempts to generate content or assets that go against these rules for ALI Agent creation:

Error 550	Interaction Filter Triggered	The HIVE powering this ALI Agent returned a warning: Guideline violating keywords have been detected - interaction response compute denied.
Error 551	Creation Process: Filter Triggered	The HIVE powering this ALI Agent returned a warning: Guideline violating keywords have been detected - compute for creating ALI Agent denied.
Error 552	Dream Creation Filter Triggered	The HIVE powering this ALI Agent returned a warning: Guideline violating keywords have been detected - compute for creating Dream denied.
