The actual rules

This site never reproduces a rule. Every line below is a plain-language pointer to the operative document in the DAO's governance repository, the single source of truth.

Nothing here is in force yet. Every document is a draft awaiting the ratification vote, marked pending below. Once a document is activated it is published as a PDF whose SHA-256 digest is recorded on-chain, and that digest is shown here so anyone can check their copy is the one that was voted on.

Every document

The constitution

  • Charter
    Sets the DAO's principles and structure of authority — what the DAO stands for and who holds power.Pending

The numbers

  • DAO Parameters Registry
    The single place that holds every adjustable number — voting thresholds, quorums, time limits, budget caps — so they can be updated by vote without touching the core documents.Pending

How decisions get made and carried out

The people and roles

  • RAC Mandate
    Defines the Accountability Council — the guardian that makes sure governance processes are followed correctly, without itself becoming a ruler.Pending
  • Delegate Mandate
    Defines the Delegates who perform the DAO's operational jobs (treasury signing, compliance, legal signing, etc.) — again, agents who execute, never govern.Pending
  • Elections & Role Governance Policy
    How every key role is elected, evaluated, and replaced, keeping all authority time-bound and accountable to voters.Pending
  • Working Group Framework
    How the DAO's execution teams (Working Groups) are created, funded, bounded, and held to their mandates.Pending
  • Roles Registry
    A navigation aid (not a rulebook) that maps every role to the documents that define and govern it.Pending

Conduct, integrity, and fairness

  • Code of Conduct
    The minimum standards of behaviour expected of everyone who participates in the DAO.Pending
  • Conflict of Interest Policy
    When people in positions of authority must disclose personal interests and step back from a decision.Pending
  • Dispute Resolution & Arbitration Policy
    How disagreements are resolved fairly — settled at the lowest level where possible, escalating to a vote, and ultimately to legal arbitration.Pending

Staying alive in a crisis

  • Emergency & Safeguards Policy
    What counts as an emergency, who may act, and the limits that keep emergency powers exceptional, minimal, temporary, and accountable.Pending
  • Governance Continuity Framework
    How the DAO keeps governing — or recovers — if a body fails, execution is blocked, or normal processes stop working.Pending
