Governor Module Specification #273

@ryanchristo

Description

@ryanchristo

Summary

The governor module is a blockchain application module built with Cosmos SDK.

The governor module is an experimental module within a set of experimental modules (admin, governor, validator, etc.) being used to explore alternative governance frameworks for interoperable blockchain applications.

Problem

Cosmos SDK provides a well-tested framework for proof-of-stake blockchains. The default delegated proof-of-stake model can be adapted to accomplish alternatives including proof-of-authority or delegated proof-of-stake with shared security.

Alternatives are not easy or straightforward to implement. Networks are not able to easily manage transitions between models through on-chain governance processes. What might a more dynamic framework look like?

Proposal

Write a specification for the governor module with implementation instructions.
