  DAO GOVERNANCE – Beautiful Exchange DAO

  1. Who has a voice – and how is that expressed?
  Our governance model includes a hybrid participation system combining:

  • Base voice (1 vote) for all verified members

  • Additional influence through:

  • Circle participation (0.5x multiplier for active circle contributors)

  • Tenure (0.25x multiplier per quarter of active contribution, capped at 2x)

  • Specialized expertise (1.5x multiplier for protocol-specific decisions)

  • Stewardship Council holds final arbitration rights for vision alignment decisions

  2. Decision types and ownership

  3. Decision-making methods
  We will use:

  • Consent-based governance for operational decisions (pass unless reasoned objection)

  • Quadratic voting for resource allocation using SEEDS reputation tokens

  • Advice process for role-related decisions (mandatory consultation with affected circles)

  • Unity voting (80% threshold) for principle changes and protocol updates

  4. “Safe to try” boundaries
  ✅ Safe to try without approval:

  • Prototype testing within dedicated circles

  • Temporary working groups (<3 months)

  • Educational content creation

  • Localized community initiatives (<$500 equivalent)

  ❌ Requires broader agreement:

  • Protocol architecture changes

  • Mission/brand modifications

  • Partnerships over $10k equivalent

  • Circle dissolution/mergers

  5. Governance evolution
  Our governance will evolve through:

  • [X] Bi-weekly pulse checks with circle coordinators

  • [X] Quarterly regeneration retrospectives

  • [X] Annual governance hackathons

  • [ ] Other: Fractal feedback loops from sub-DAOs

  We’ll know it’s time to shift when:

  • 3+ circles report decision-making bottlenecks

  • New member onboarding exceeds 100/month

  • Cross-protocol transactions reach 10k/week

  • Community satisfaction scores drop below 4/5 for two consecutive quarters
