DAO and Governance
Overview of Charity Coin DAO
Charity Coin is governed as a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) using Aragon, an open-source platform that facilitates the creation and management of DAOs on the Ethereum blockchain. This framework allows Charity Coin to operate with extensive autonomy and decentralization, directly governed by its community of token holders.
Governance Structure
Charity Coin leverages Aragon to implement a dual governance model that includes both token-based and wallet-based systems, providing a versatile and secure approach to organizational decision-making:
-
Token-Based Governance: This model allows every token holder to participate in governance by voting on proposals. The voting power is directly proportional to the number of tokens held, ensuring that those invested in the ecosystem have a significant influence on its operation and growth.
-
Wallet-Based Governance: Designed for key stakeholders or governance facilitators, this model involves specific wallet addresses that have the authority to propose changes and vote on administrative decisions. It adds a structured layer of governance that ensures experienced oversight and strategic management, crucial for critical operational decisions.
Governance Mechanisms
Decentralized Decision-Making
Under the decentralized governance framework powered by Aragon, token holders can directly influence how the Donation Pool's funds are allocated. This democratic process ensures that decisions align with the community’s preferences and contribute to the project's transparency and accountability.
Multi-Signature Controls
For crucial decisions and significant financial transactions, Charity Coin employs a multi-signature mechanism that requires consensus among multiple authorized signatories. This approach enhances security and ensures that substantial actions undergo rigorous scrutiny and collective approval, adding an additional layer of trust and integrity to the DAO.
