Params adjustments

Parameters and the DAO​

Pocket Network utilizes an off-chain governance mechanism that enables the community to vote on proposals. Once a proposal passes, the DAO can adjust the parameters necessary for the protocol's operation.

Examples​

Block Size Change​

Similar to how internal parameters can be adjusted using Adding params, the DAO can submit changes to other modules. For example, here's a transaction that will increase the block size (a parameter in the consensus module):

{
  "body": {
    "messages": [
      {
        "@type": "/cosmos.consensus.v1.MsgUpdateParams",
        "authority": "pokt10d07y265gmmuvt4z0w9aw880jnsr700j8yv32t",
        "abci": {},
        "block": {
          "max_bytes": "66060288",
          "max_gas": "-1"
        },
        "evidence": {
          "max_age_duration": "48h0m0s",
          "max_age_num_blocks": "100000",
          "max_bytes": "1048576"
        },
        "validator": {
          "pub_key_types": ["ed25519"]
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}
warning

Important: When submitting changes, you must include all parameters, even if you're only modifying one.

To check the current consensus parameters (before and after the change), use this command:

poktrolld query consensus params

Before the upgrade:

params:
  block:
    max_bytes: "22020096"
  # ... the rest of the response

To submit the transaction that increases the block size:

poktrolld tx authz exec tools/scripts/params/consensus_increase_block_size.json --from pnf --yes

After the upgrade:

params:
  block:
    max_bytes: "66060288"
  # ... the rest of the response
