Timelock

The Timelock contract can modify system parameters, logic, and contracts in a 'time-delayed, opt-out' upgrade pattern. Timelock has a hard-coded minimum delay of 2 days, which is the least amount of notice possible for a governance action. Each proposed action will be published at a minimum of 2 days in the future from the time of announcement. Major upgrades, such as changing the risk system, may have up to a 30 day delay. Timelock is controlled by the governance module; pending and completed governance actions can be monitored on the Timelock Dashboard.

State-Changing Functions: PEAK

Delegate

function delegate(address delegatee)

Delegate votes from the sender to the delegatee. Users can delegate to 1 address at a time, and the number of votes added to the delegatee’s vote count is equivalent to the balance of PEAK in the user’s account. Votes are delegated from the current block and onward, until the sender delegates again, or transfers their PEA.

Delegate By Signature

function delegateBySig(address delegatee, uint nonce, uint expiry, uint8 v, bytes32 r, bytes32 s)

Users can delegate to 1 address at a time, and the number of votes added to the delegatee’s vote count is equivalent to the balance of PEAK in the user’s account. Votes are delegated from the current block and onward, until the sender delegates again, or transfers their PEAK.

NameType

delegatee

nonce

uint

v

uint

Read-Only Functions: Governor Alpha

Quorum Votes

function quorumVotes() public pure returns (uint)

Proposal Threshold

function proposalThreshold() returns (uint)

Returns the minimum number of votes required for an account to create a proposal.

Proposal Max Operation

function proposalMaxOperations() returns (uint)

Returns the maximum number of actions that can be included in a proposal. Actions are functions calls that will be made when a proposal succeeds and executes.

Voting Delay

function votingDelay() returns (uint)

Returns the number of blocks to wait before voting on a proposal may begin. This value is added to the current block number when a proposal is created.

Voting Period

function votingPeriod() returns (uint)

Returns the duration of voting on a proposal, in blocks.

Get Actions

function getActions(uint proposalId) returns (uint proposalId) public view returns (address[] memory targets, uint[] memory values, string[] memory signatures, bytes[] memory calldatas)

Gets the actions of a selected proposal. Pass a proposal ID and get the targets, values, signatures and calldatas of that proposal.

NameType

proposalId

uint

ID of the proposal

Returns:

  • Array of addresses of contracts the proposal calls.

  • Array of unsigned integers the proposal uses as values.

  • Array of strings of the proposal’s signatures.

  • Array of calldata bytes of the proposal.

Get Receipt

function getReceipt(uint proposalId, address voter) returns (Receipt memory)

Returns a proposal ballot receipt of a given voter.

NameType

proposalId

uint

ID of the proposal in which to get a voter’s ballot receipt.

voter

address

Address of the account of a proposal voter.

Receipt

struct

A Receipt struct for the ballot of the voter address.

State

function state(uint proposalId) returns (ProposalState)

Returns enum of type ProposalState, possible types are: -Pending -Active -Canceled -Defeated -Succeeded -Queued -Expired -andExecuted

NameType

proposalId

uint

ID of the proposal

State-Changing Functions: Governor Alpha

Propose

function propose(address[] memory targets, uint[] memory values, string[] memory signatures, bytes[] memory calldatas, string memory description) returns (uint)

Creates a Proposal to change the protocol.

Proposals will be voted on by delegated voters. If there is sufficient support before the voting period ends, the proposal shall be automatically enacted. Enacted proposals are queued and executed in the Timelock contract.

The sender must hold more PEAK than the current proposal threshold (proposalThreshold()) as of the immediately previous block. The proposal can have up to 10 actions (based on proposalMaxOperations()).

The proposer cannot create another proposal if they currently have a pending or active proposal. It is not possible to queue two identical actions in the same block (due to a restriction in the Timelock), therefore actions in a single proposal must be unique, and unique proposals that share an identical action must be queued in different blocks.

NameType

targets

address

The ordered list of target addresses for calls to be made during proposal execution. This array must be the same length as all other array parameters in this function.

values

uint

The ordered list of values (i.e. msg.value) to be passed to the calls made during proposal execution. This array must be the same length as all other array parameters in this function

signatures

string

The ordered list of function signatures to be passed during execution. This array must be the same length as all other array parameters in this function.

calldatas

bytes

The ordered list of data to be passed to each individual function call during proposal execution. This array must be the same length as all other array parameters in this function.

description

string

A human readable description of the proposal and the changes it will enact.

Unnamed

uint

Returns ID of the new proposal

Queue

function queue(uint proposalId)

After a proposal has succeeded, any address can call the queue method to move the proposal into the Timelock queue. A proposal can only be queued if it has succeeded.

NameType

proposalId

uint

ID of a given successful proposal

Execute

function execute(uint proposalId) payable

After the Timelock delay period, any account may invoke the execute method to apply the changes from the proposal to the target contracts. This will invoke each of the actions described in the proposal. This function is payable so the Timelock contract can invoke payable functions that were selected in the proposal.

NameType

proposalId

uint

ID of a given successful proposal

Cancel

function queue(uint proposalId)

Cancel a proposal that has not yet been executed. The Guardian is the only one who may execute this unless the proposer does not maintain the delegates required to create a proposal. If the proposer does not have more delegates than the proposal threshold, anyone can cancel the proposal.

NameType

proposalId

uint

ID of a proposal to cancel

Cast Vote

function castVote(uint proposalId, bool support)

Cast a vote on a proposal. The account's voting weight is determined by it's number of delegated votes at the time the proposal becomes active.

NameType

proposalId

uint

ID of a given successful proposal

support

bool

A boolean of true for 'yes' or false for 'no' on the proposal vote.

Cast Vote By Signature

function castVoteBySig(uint proposalId, bool support, uint8 v, bytes32 r, bytes32 s)

Cast a vote on a proposal. The account's voting weight is determined its number of delegated votes at the time the proposal became active. This method has the same purpose as Cast Vote, but instead enables offline signatures to participate in governance voting. For more details on how to create an offline signature, review EIP-712.

NameType

proposalId

uint

ID of a given successful proposal

support

bool

A boolean of true for 'yes' or false for 'no' on the proposal vote.

s

bytes32

Half of the ECDSA signature pair.
