Announcing CO.DELTA △

We’re a verifiably decentralised collective who review IC deltas (changes applied by NNS proposals). We follow a common code:

  • Look: We observe the details and context of NNS proposals
  • Test: We test and verify the claims made by those proposals
  • Automate: We automate as much as possible by building increasingly sophisticated tools that streamline and strengthen the reviewal process.

Every vote cast by CO.DELTA is the result of consensus among diligent, skilled and experienced team members acting independently. The CO.DELTA neuron follows the vote of D-QUORUM on NNS topics that the CO.DELTA team does not handle directly. You can therefore follow CO.DELTA on all NNS topics and rely on a high quality vote.

We’ll begin with the Subnet Management NNS topic. Over time we plan to cover more topics.


We’ll be announcing details of our threshold-canister-controlled neuron soon, which we’ll then propose as a known neuron. Please stay tuned…

We’ll also periodically publish more details regarding NNS topics covered, and team member introductions. In the meantime further information can be found here.

Hi everyone, we’re close to being ready for raising a known neuron proposal for CO.DELTA △ (hopefully after the weekend). We’re finishing up an internal code review (before we open-source our repo). In the meantime you can get in early and start following our team neuron:

  • CO.DELTA △33138099823745946
  • Frontend canisterhttps://wtjj7-cyaaa-aaaar-qaozq-cai.icp0.io/
  • Backend canisterhttps://dashboard.internetcomputer.org/canister/qkgir-uyaaa-aaaar-qaonq-cai
  • Threshold canister testing is being finished up. The threshold canister will be the only controller of the backend canister, and in turn the backend canister and threshold canister will be the only controllers of the frontend canister. The threshold canister will be it’s own controller (no other principal). The threshold canister is what enforces that all canisters are managed in a decentralised manner, requiring a vote from team members in order to upgrade the canisters or disburse voting/reviewer rewards.

CO.DELTA △ aims to provide a highly secure, high quality option for following on all NNS topics. We currently specialise in the Subnet Management NNS topic (helping to protect the IC from collusion, and enforcing the IC Target Topology, along with other more nuanced requirements). In the meantime, CO.DELTA follows D-QUORUM on NNS topics that the current team doesn’t focus on. Consider supporting the growth and development of CO.DELTA by following us and/or check us out!

Thanks for standing by. The CO.DELTA canisters are now decentralised, controlled by our threshold canister. You can call the getSigners method to see the principals with voting rights (currently me, @aligatorr89 and @MalithHatananchchige - but we’ll be onboarding more members over time).

Our threshold canister is a fork of DFINITY’s canister, with several enhancements to make reviewing threshold proposals simpler (coupled with some bash scripts to automate various aspects - see ‘Utils’ folder in our repo, currently under an open PR).


Now that we’re fully set up, we’ll be raising a known neuron proposal shortly, once it’s passed internal consensus.

Please show your support and consider following us - 33138099823745946. The more followers we have on more topics, the more capacity we’ll have to expand our team and increase the ways we can help to secure the IC. Visit our frontend for the most up-to-date info moving forward (regarding topics covered etc.). :rocket:

Congratulations @Lorimer. I’m looking forward to seeing CO.DELTA in the list of known neurons. This is great work.

Good one @Lorimer and thanks again for giving us the much needed kick up the rear end to start doing something to fix things!

Hi community! As some of you know, my name is Rok, and I’m coming from Slovenia. I’m a developer with 9 years of professional experience. I got into ICP in 2021 and started following the project from the side. I got more and more involved in projects in 2024 and build a lot of connections.

As you can see at CO.DELTA we have done every step without assuming anything, like “trust me bro” scenario. So far we have

  • Started voting on Subnet Management proposal
  • decentralize threshold canister which is used to control CO.DELTA canister. It can update its code and call distribute_icp to reviewers. All with proposals without single control.
  • develop CO.DELTA canister which is used to claim ICP rewards to all 3 members equally. It is controlled by threshold canister as described above.

This is mostly thanks to @Lorimer, who was the architect behind this. It is a new type of cooperation, where no party has control over group funds and capabilities.

Thanks to the community, we are now CO.DELTA - the known neuron.

Thanks everbody who voted on the proposal! Here’s the known neuron link.

My forum profile provides a brief bio about me. I’m very proud to be on this team with @aligatorr89 and @MalithHatananchchige. We’ll grow and onboard more members over time. We’re looking forward to making a difference to the NNS!
