No ‘Adjust GP’ Rule

In Axynom’s governance model, contributors submit work along with a requested GP value. Voters can then approve or reject the submission, but they cannot modify the requested reward amount.

There is no “adjust GP” option in any voting phase.

This rule simplifies the governance process, protects contributor expectations, and prevents manipulation or negotiation during voting.

Why Adjustment is Not Allowed

Allowing voters to alter reward amounts would introduce complexity, inconsistency, and abuse risks:

• Subjectivity: Voters may disagree not on the quality of work, but on what it’s “worth,” creating unpredictable outcomes.

• Vote Fracturing: Contributions might receive partial support at multiple reward levels but fail to pass due to vote fragmentation.

• Favoritism Risk: Adjusted GP values could reflect personal bias or influence rather than protocol impact.

• Negotiation Loops: Contributors might be forced into resubmission cycles or lobbying just to secure fair rewards.

Axynom avoids all of this by enforcing a binary vote:

• Approve - The contribution is valid, and the requested GP is fair.

• Not Approved - The contribution is invalid, incomplete, low quality, or the reward request is excessive.

This gives contributors a clear incentive to be reasonable, and gives voters a clear decision to make.
