Protocol Parameters

Autonity protocol parameters - definitions, genesis configuration, update mechanism if modifiable

Autonity Protocol parameters specify economic, consensus, temporal, and governance settings of an Autonity Network. They are specified as part of the genesis.json file at network genesis and may be updated by the network’s governance account.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Genesis Configuration	Post Genesis Update Mechanism
minBaseFee	minimum price for a unit of gas used to compute a transaction on the network	See config.autonity.minBaseFee	See setMinimumBaseFee()
gasLimit	maximum amount of gas expenditure allowed for computing the genesis block, and then blocks thereafter	See config.gasLimit	None
treasury account	protocol’s treasury account for receiving treasury fees used for Autonity community funds	See config.autonity.treasury	See setTreasuryAccount()
treasuryFee	the percentage of staking rewards deducted for community funds.	See config.autonity.treasuryFee	See setTreasuryFee()
maxCommitteeSize	maximum number of consensus committee members	See config.autonity.maxCommitteeSize	See setCommitteeSize()
delegationRate	the percentage of staking rewards deducted by validators as a commission from delegated stake	See config.autonity.delegationRate	None (Individual validators can reset their rate after registration. See changeCommissionRate())
unbondingPeriod	the period of time bonded stake must wait before Newton can be redeemed after unbonding, defined as a number of blocks. The unbonding period can be any integer number > 0, but must be longer than the epoch period.	See config.autonity.unbondingPeriod	See setUnbondingPeriod()
epochPeriod	the period of time for which a consensus committee is elected, defined as a number of blocks	See config.autonity.epochPeriod	See setEpochPeriod()
blockPeriod	the minimum time interval between two consecutive blocks, measured in seconds	See config.autonity.blockPeriod	None
governance operator account	address of the Autonity Protocol, Autonity Oracle Contract, and ASM Contracts governance account	See config.autonity.operator	See setOperatorAccount()
Oracle symbols	the currency pairs that the oracle network provides data points for	See config.oracle.symbols	See setSymbols()
Oracle votePeriod	the time interval at which the oracle network initiates a new oracle round for submitting and voting on oracle data, measured in blocks	See config.oracle.votePeriod	None
ASM ACU symbols, quantities, scale	the ACU currency basket configuration	See config.asm.acu object	See modifyBasket()
ASM Stabilization liquidationRatio	the minimum ACU value of collateral required to maintain 1 ACU value of debt	See config.asm.stabilization object	See setLiquidationRatio()
ASM Stabilization minCollateralizationRatio	the minimum ACU value of collateral required to borrow 1 ACU value of debt	See config.asm.stabilization object	See setMinCollateralizationRatio()
ASM Stabilization minDebtRequirement	the minimum amount of debt required to maintain a CDP	See config.asm.stabilization object	See setMinDebtRequirement()
ASM Stabilization minDebtRequirement	the minimum amount of debt required to maintain a CDP	See config.asm.stabilization object	See setMinDebtRequirement()
ASM Stabilization oracle contract address	the Autonity Oracle Contract address	See Concept Architecture and Autonity Oracle Contract	See setOracle()
ASM Stabilization supplyControl contract address	the ASM Supply Control Contract address	See Concept Architecture and ASM Supply Control Contract	See setSupplyControl()
