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

  1. A group of four members comes together to activate a region

  2. The group must collectively stake TETRA (amount must exceed average regional stake)

  3. Members nominate the same group of four founding chiefs

  4. 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
