User Profile Hierarchy
Summary: Your User Profile is where you define how you wish to participate in governance.
Governance->Node->User Profile->Definition
The User Profile is the hierarchy that allows you to authenticate with other parties and define how you intend to use the Token Power conferred by your holdings of Superalgos SA Tokens. These definitions are spread across several governance programs, and your Token Power cascades down to these programs from the head of the hierarchy. Each program is designed to get Contributors involved in different governance needs.
Governance->Node->User Profile->Content
As explained in the Building Your Profile page, your User Profile is paired with your Governance Address. The tokens you hold in this address confer you Token Power that you may use to influence how Superalgos distributes the tokens allocated to each release.
After building your profile, you should see your Token Power flowing to the Token Power Switch node, the first offspring of the head of the hierarchy. This principle is maintained throughout the hierarchy: Token Power flows down to offspring nodes, through each section of the hierarchy.
Token Power Flows
Governance->Concept->Token Power Flows->Definition
Summary: Token Power flows cascading down from the User Profile node to the Token Power Switch node, to its offspring, and so on, following the structure of the hierarchy.
Governance->Concept->Token Power Flows->Content
How Token Power flows depends on the following:
- By default, Token Power flows in equal proportion to each direct offspring node.
- You may override the defaults by explicitly defining the percentage of the Token Power you wish to allocate to each offspring. If you define less than a total of 100%, then the remaining Token Power is distributed evenly across the offspring for which there is no definition.
This is the format of the configuration you may use on each of the programs:
{
"percentage": 50
} For example, let's say you have 1,000 Token Power flowing into your Token Power Switch node. Let's say you spawn the Onboarding Programs, Community Building Programs, Votes And Claims Programs, and Financial Programs nodes.
As soon as you deploy these four offspring of the Token Power Switch node, you will see that each of the nodes gets 25% of the Token Power by default.
But you wish to limit the Token Power flowing into the Onboarding Programs to zero, as those programs do not require Token Power. To do that, you set up the following in the Onboarding Programs node configuration:
{
"percentage": 0
} Once the configuration is in place, you will notice that the Onboarding Programs node shows 0% and 0 Token Power flowing into the node. You will also notice that the rest of the nodes are getting 33.33% of the Token Power each.
Now let's say you wish to use only 10% of your Token Power in the Community Building Programs. So you set up the following config:
{
"percentage": 10
} As a result, 10% of the Token Power flows into the Community Building Programs, while the remaining nodes get 45% of the Token Power each.
Important: One more thing! When Token Power flows into a specific program, it turns into a specific form of power associated with the said program! For example, Token Power that flows into the Support Program turns into Support Power. In the Voting Program, it turns into Voting Power. Notice that this is just a change in the name, as all these forms of powers behave in the same manner throughout the User Profile hierarchy.
Token Power Switch
Governance->Node->Token Power Switch->Definition
The concept of a switch may be used throughout the different programs in the User Profile hierarchy. A switch is a device used to distribute the flow of Token Power to offspring nodes. In the case of the Token Power Switch, it is the sole offspring node of the User Profile hierarchy used to distribute Token Power to the different programs.
Governance->Node->Token Power Switch->Content
Note: Most nodes in the hierarchy act as switches, even when their name does not include the word switch!
Tokens Mined
Governance->Node->Tokens Mined->Definition
The Tokens Mined node features the total number of tokens you will get, adding all Token Rewards and Tokens Bonus from the programs you participate in.
Governance->Node->Tokens Mined->Content
Governance->Concept->Reusable Governance Snippets->Computational Limitations
The governance system does all calculations dynamically, in real-time, with every change in the definitions, and computes all the hierarchies loaded in the Current Workspace.
Important: The above means that the calculations that you see from within any given Workspace is a partial calculation within the scope of the Current Workspace only. Definitions, claims, votes, and so on, existing on other workspaces or plugins are not computed.
Tokens Awarded
Governance->Node->Tokens Awarded->Definition
The Tokens Awarded node represents the number of tokens you get in reward for your contributions. The node is present on many of the Governance Programs.
Governance->Node->Tokens Awarded->Content
The information on how many tokens the particular program has awarded you is displayed as a notice below the node, along with other relevant information that depends on the context, like the number of people that helped you get them, or the number of claims computed, etc.
Calculations
Note: Each program calculates Tokens Awarded in a particular way. Follow the links below to learn the details about each program.
- In the Airdrop Program.
- In the Github Program.
- The Community Building Programs node page explains how Tokens Awarded is calculated for the referral, support, and mentorship programs.
- The How Claims are Resolved page explains how tokens are awarded in the Claims Program.
- In the Staking Program.
Tokens Bonus
Governance->Node->Tokens Bonus->Definition
A Tokens Bonus is a reward that you obtain for participating in a program that is incentivized. Taking part in these programs is desirable, as they foster Community bonds, develop healthy social relations, or encourage specific collaborative dynamics. It is for those reasons that participation is incentivized.
Governance->Node->Tokens Bonus->Content
Programs that feature a Tokens Bonus have an associated Bonus Pool under the Governance Programs section of the Superalgos Pools hierarchy. These pools are used specifically to allocate tokens for these incentives.
The Tokens Bonus you may get on any given program is in a Direct Proportion to the Token Power that you drive into the said program. That is, the more Token Power you drive into an incentivized program, the more tokens you get from the corresponding pool.
Calculation
The calculation of the Tokens Bonus is a direct Rule of Three:
Total Token Power [*] -> 100% of the pool
Your Token Power [**] -> X% of the pool -> Tokens Bonus
Tokens Bonus = Your Token Power * 100% / Total Token Power
[*] The power driven to the given program by all User Profiles combined.
[**] The power you drive to the given program.User Profile — TOC
