Over time, Tectonic aims to transition the governance process fully to community and stakeholders. At such time in the future, anybody holding a to-be-determined minimum threshold of TONIC token will be required to firstly bring forth, then vote on, proposals (Tectonic Improvement Proposals/TIP) that would affect key parameters such as economics, security and development of the protocol. Examples of parameters that could be voted on: * Interest Rate Model * Reserve Factor * The addition of assets that meet the risk requirements of the protocol * Risk parameters for overcollateralization and liquidation * Changes to the Liquidity Mining Program to adjust incentives depending on market conditions * Protocol Treasury Control * Airdrop * Buyback and Burn * New LP Listing --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://tectonic.gitbook.io/docs/protocol/governance.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
