Base configuration is organized into four groups, distinguished by how — and by whom — each value can be altered:
- Consensus Parameters — set at genesis, or only movable through privileged accounts or a protocol upgrade.
- Policy Parameters — adjustable within protocol-enforced bounds without breaking consensus.
- Admin Roles — accounts permitted to upgrade contracts, reassign role ownership, or alter protocol parameters. Usually held in cold/multisig wallets.
- Service Roles — accounts that drive everyday operations. Usually hot wallets.
