About the TGIP category

The Telcoin Governance Improvement Proposal (TGIP) process is the constitutional-choice process by which the Miner Assembly, made up of all four Miner groups (Stakers, Developers, Liquidity Miners, Validators), proposes, ratifies, and implements changes and upgrades to the Telcoin Governance System. Each Miner Group must simultaneously or sequentially approve of the same TGIP proposal in order for it to be ratified and implemented. All aspects of the Telcoin Governance System may be altered using the TGIP process.
