Network Governance

The TACEO Network is currently coordinated by TACEO, in collaboration with independent node operators.

This early governance model prioritizes safety, reliability, and controlled rollout for privacy-critical production workloads.

Current governance responsibilities include:

  • approving services and circuit deployments
  • managing node participation and infrastructure requirements
  • coordinating protocol and software upgrades
  • managing incident response and operational continuity

Application participation​

Applications using the network are involved in upgrade coordination for the services they depend on.

Major changes are coordinated through an offchain process with production integrators so service evolution is aligned with real workload requirements.

Node participation​

The network is operated by a set of independent node operators.

Node operators are currently curated to ensure reliability and security. Organizations with privacy-critical workloads may also participate as operators where appropriate.

Evolution​

Governance is expected to broaden over time as service adoption and operator participation grow.

Future iterations may introduce additional shared-control mechanisms for service approvals, registry management, and network standards.
