DAO Architecture: Principles and Processes
Core Principles
EMC DAO is founded on inclusive governance, on-chain transparency, and iterative improvement. All EMC token holders and hardware contributors who meet specific thresholds can propose and vote, while all records and outcomes remain publicly verifiable on-chain. Moreover, EMC DAO remains adaptable; as the community’s technical and strategic needs evolve, so too does its governance framework.
Organizational Tiers
Base Community: Composed of everyday token holders, hardware node operators, and AI developers. By holding or staking EMC, participants gain the right to vote on proposals.
Council/Delegates (Optional): A higher-level advisory or review layer formed by high-reputation nodes or large token holders. This group can perform preliminary evaluations of critical proposals to maintain proposal quality.
Execution Layer: A multi-signature or autonomous smart contract layer that enforces approved decisions, eliminating single points of failure or centralized control risks.
Governance Process
Proposal Submission: A sponsor drafts and publishes a proposal outlining objectives, required funding, and implementation details.
Community Deliberation: Open discussion occurs on official forums or governance platforms, with feedback and modifications gathered.
Voting: The proposal moves to a formal voting phase. If it meets the required majority, it proceeds to execution.
On-Chain Execution: Upon approval, a multi-sig or governance smart contract executes the proposal without manual intervention.
Outcome Review: The community monitors implementation progress, informing future decisions with real-world insights.
