# Protocol Parameters

There are several Glow protocol parameters that can be modified by the Governance. The polls voting over these parameters will be activated after the first 6 months of Glow, following our progressive decentralization roadmap.

### Glow Distributor Parameters

#### Modify Emission Rate Parameters

The dynamic Emission Rate Algorithm for depositor rewards is determined by several parameters which can be modified through governance:

* `Emission Cap` , which is the upper limit on GLOW token emissions per block.
* `Emission Floor`, which is the bottom limit on GLOW token emission per block.
* `Increment Multiplier` , which is the factor used to increment the current emission rate in case the current award is less than the `Target Award` 
* `Decrement Multiplier` , which is the factor used to decrement the current emission rate in case the current award is less than the `Target Award`

#### Modify Target Award

The `Target Award` is the goal`Award Available`per week. Since the depositor rewards are determined by the Emission Rate algorithm, the target award is used to set up the growth direction of rewards per block.

### Governance Parameters

#### **Modify Poll Quorum and Threshold**

#### **Modify Proposal Deposit**

#### **Modify Voting, Timelock and Expiration Periods**

### GEF Parameters

#### Modify Spend Limit

Each project funded by the Glow Ecosystem Fund (GEF) has a `Limit Spend`

In exceptional occasions of very large grants, the proceeds should be split into deliverables, conforming with the `Limit Spend`
