The Salvorias Network is a sovereign Layer-1 blockchain utilizing a hybrid consensus model. The governance framework defines how the network is operated, upgraded, and maintained over time.
Consensus Architecture #
The network employs two complementary consensus mechanisms:
- Proof-of-Stake (PoS) — Validator nodes stake SAVDR tokens to participate in block production and secure network consensus.
- Proof-of-Action (PoA) — Activity data is recorded at the trusted partner level and transmitted to Salvorias with the relevant event date. Records are reviewed before being published to the chain, at which point SAVDR rewards are issued based on applicable point values.
Node Types and Roles #
The network supports the following licensed node types:
- Validator Node — participates in consensus and security; requires 250,000 SAVDR staked and active hosting. Earns a share of the Node Operator rewards pool plus block transaction fees.
- Savings Oracle Node — verifies identity and ownership on the network for security purposes; requires purchase of an Oracle Savings License NFT and active hosting. Earns a share of the Node Operator rewards pool.
License NFTs #
Node and infrastructure licenses are issued as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that represent the right to operate within the network under the terms of this Charter. License NFTs are transferable and may be sold on approved marketplaces. All initial License NFTs are subject to a one-year transfer restriction from the date of issuance to support network stability, discourage short-term speculation, and align ownership with long-term participation.
Governance Authority and Process #
Governance authority flows from node owners through a structured proposal and voting process:
- Any node owner may submit a governance proposal by paying the required SAVDR proposal fee to the Salvorias Services LLC governance wallet.
- Fifty percent (50%) of the proposal fee is consumed upon submission to fund review and processing. The remaining 50% is conditionally refunded upon successful process completion. If a proposal fails, the refundable portion is also consumed.
- Proposals enter a three-day Board review period, during which the Board validates scope, Charter compliance, and node owner eligibility, and publishes both an In Favor and Against statement.
- Following Board review, proposals enter a seven-day public discussion period.
- A snapshot is taken to determine voter eligibility, followed by a seven-day voting period.
Approval Thresholds #
- Routine proposals (Charter-permitted changes): simple majority of voting node owners.
- Charter amendments: two-thirds (2/3) supermajority of voting node owners.
Execution #
Approved proposals are implemented by the Board of Directors and authorized operating entities consistent with this Charter.
