How it works

Proven ERC20Votes design with a warmup period for wrapping tokens to prevent governance attacks at bootstrap.

Plug-in merkle-voting with unwrapped-token snapshots when the wider community is ready to participate in token governance.

Fill the treasury with fee revenue, or donate some tokens, to allocate incentives and budget for Deals.

Team members operate under their own class of tokens — non-transferable by design. This creates real skin in the game, not speculative governance.

You can airdrop team tokens based on reputation, require members to earn them, or distribute them otherwise, just as you hire your team in a regular off-chain company.

Team members who manage a Deal must stake their own tokens into it to gain management rights. If a deal underperforms, staked tokens and reputation are at risk.

Any third-party module approved by DAC-level governance can extend the system, making new Deal types available without protocol changes.

DAC governance approves each Deal a single time. Once approved, execution is deterministic — no repeated votes, no council veto, no governance fatigue.

Risk is always bounded to the capital allocated in the approved tranche. Performance rewards for the managing team are capped and enforced on-chain via pre-agreed KPIs.

Appointed team token holders receive their own governance engine scoped to the Deal. Proposals execute fast — no DAC-wide vote needed for operational decisions.

This creates a nested governance structure: the DAC sets strategy and approves deals, while appointed members handle day-to-day execution with accountability enforced by their staked tokens.

Evaluation is deterministic and agreed upfront. No retroactive disputes, no subjective interpretation — the evaluator contract decides based on observable on-chain data.

Managing team members are granted a portion of the reward pool on confirmed performance. For MLM or airdrop strategies, rewards can distribute directly through the Deal contract.
