I’ve published a new protocol specification that proposes a deterministic, machine-verifiable trust model for decentralized governance.
Instead of relying on probabilistic or socially ambiguous trust, TGC v2 defines trust, delegation, and legitimacy as explicit cryptographic structures and state-machine transitions.
It combines deterministic voting, delegation graphs, multisig thresholds, and an immutable ledger to create a transparent, composable governance layer that both humans and AI agents can verify.
Core ideas:
Trust = explicit structured object, not sentiment
Delegation = formal graph, fully machine-readable
Governance = deterministic rules, reproducible by any node
Voting = threshold/graph-based, no ambiguity
Immutable ledger captures all transitions (trust, delegation, votes)
Designed to be compatible with on-chain systems & DAOs
