Early DAO Governance Framework
🗳️ Early DAO Governance Framework
SZNP embraces a progressive decentralization model, where governance gradually transitions from core contributors to the community through a staged DAO system. This ensures operational stability in early phases while enabling open participation over time.
🧩 Phase 1 – Bootstrapped Governance (Genesis Stage)
During the mainnet launch and early operations, SZNP will operate under a multi-signature council comprising:
Core contributors
Strategic partners
Community node representatives
Key responsibilities:
Approve budget allocation (grants, bounties, growth funds)
Manage critical upgrades & SSOP parameter tuning
Onboard infrastructure partners & integration requests
⏳ Duration: First 6–9 months post-mainnet
🧱 Phase 2 – Transition to DAO Governance (Community Council Stage)
Once network metrics (e.g., active nodes, token distribution, storage volume) reach defined thresholds, SZNP will activate:
🗳 Staking-based voting rights via $SZNP token
🗂 Proposal submission framework (SIPs: SZNP Improvement Proposals)
💼 DAO Working Groups: Infrastructure, Grants, Tech, Ecosystem
Voting power = Staked $SZNP + Reputation metrics (from verified contributions)
🌐 Phase 3 – Full On-chain Governance
SZNP aims to evolve into a modular DAO structure with:
⛓️ Fully on-chain voting and execution (e.g., via Snapshot + Aragon-style tools)
🧠 Integration with AI agents for proposal analysis & summarization
💬 Community roundtables and Discord/Twitter-based deliberation
💡 Dynamic quorum and delegation models to ensure healthy participation
Key modules:
📜 SIP Committee
Proposal curation & quality control
💰 Treasury DAO
Fund disbursement & incentive planning
🧪 Tech DAO
SSOP updates, protocol R&D
🌱 Ecosystem DAO
Partnerships, grants, and onboarding
From foundation to federation — SZNP’s DAO grows with its network, community, and AI intelligence. It’s not just decentralized — it’s self-evolving.
