Localize
Tetra's Regional Governance System
Overview
Localize transforms Tetra from a global platform into unique regional experiences through structured governance and customization.. Localize empowers leaders elected by Recurve to rule their region through House Rules, Procedures, and Roles.
Localize: Core Concepts
Activation
The process of launching Tetra in a new region:
Requires four founding members
Members collectively stake TETRA tokens
Activation unlocks regional features and governance
Creates founding chiefs who serve until first election
House Rules
Regional customizations to Tetra's basic mechanics:
Modify discovery algorithms
Adjust interaction dynamics
Set regional priorities
Must work within system parameters
Procedures
Structured processes for community organization:
Define how events are run
Establish communication channels
Create regional initiatives
Set community standards
Roles
Designated positions for community building:
Assigned to active representatives
Require chief approval (3/4 votes)
Include positions like Content Creator, Educator, Event Planner
Create accountability for specific tasks
Leadership Structure
Chiefs
Four elected leaders per region
Ratify House Rules and Procedures
Approve roles for representatives
Serve 2-year terms (staggered elections every 6 months)
Representatives
Elected in biweekly meetings
Can propose House Rules + procedures
Eligible to apply for roles, which require 3/4 Chief's approval
Serve 2-month terms (or as long as a role is held)
Core Components
1. Regional Activation
Regions must meet specific criteria and complete an activation process to join the Tetra ecosystem:
Activation Requirements
Higher population than the current lowest active region
More activity than the current lowest active region
Four founding members willing to stake TETRA tokens
Completed KYC verification for all founding members
Activation Process
A group of four members comes together to activate a region
The group must collectively stake TETRA (amount must exceed average regional stake)
Members nominate the same group of four founding chiefs
Complete KYC verification for all founding chiefs
2. Economic Structure
Token Distribution
Total TETRA staked to a locale = Daily RA distribution capacity
Individual RA claiming formula:
User's Staked TETRA + 12 = Maximum Daily RA Claim
50% of USDC revenue from Barons and Stewards is distributed to current Chiefs
Regional Development
TETRA can be staked to increase local RA distribution
Each TETRA token staked adds 1 RA to daily distribution
3. Governance Structure
Roles System
Chiefs can approve roles for Representatives (requires 3/4 chief approval):
Default Roles:
Content Creator
Educator
Recruiter
Connector
Event Planner
