# Get Protocol Parameters

> Retrieve the current global protocol parameters.

Read-only — these parameters are set at the protocol level (possibly via token governance, see [OpenContract Tokenomics](/core-concepts/protocol#openconract-tokenomics)), not per-contract. See [OpenContract Structure](/core-concepts/protocol#openconract-structure) for what each field means.

## Response

<ResponseField name="protocolFee" type="number">Cut taken from every settlement payout into the Treasury, as a fraction of contract value.</ResponseField>
<ResponseField name="workerStakeRatio" type="number">Worker Stake as a fraction of contract value.</ResponseField>
<ResponseField name="disputeBondRatio" type="number">Dispute Bond as a fraction of contract value.</ResponseField>
<ResponseField name="backupAgentBondRatio" type="number">Per-criterion Backup Agent bond as a fraction of contract value.</ResponseField>
<ResponseField name="earlyWithdrawalSlashRatio" type="number">Fraction of Worker Stake slashed to the Client on early withdrawal.</ResponseField>
<ResponseField name="absentNoneMetClientShare" type="number">Fraction of the slashed Worker Stake that goes to the Client (rather than the Treasury) when `absent` or `none met`.</ResponseField>
<ResponseField name="baUnclearSlashRatio" type="number">Fraction of a criterion's Backup Agent bond slashed when voting `unclear` against a decisive majority.</ResponseField>
