Governance & Community

DAO Framework and Community Ownership

ETH6900 is not just a protocol, it is a community-owned infrastructure network. The DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) governs the evolution of the ecosystem, ensuring that decisions are made transparently, collaboratively, and in alignment with the long-term vision of the project.

Every $ETH6900 holder has the right to influence the direction of the protocol. This structure removes centralized control and hands power to the community that actively builds, supports, and uses ETH6900.

DAO Governance Model

ETH6900 operates under a progressive decentralization framework, meaning that governance responsibilities shift from the core team to the community over several stages as the network matures.

Governance Stages:

Phase

Control Type

Description

Phase 1 – Guided DAO

Hybrid governance

Core contributors manage critical parameters while community votes on proposals and grants

Phase 2 – Autonomous DAO

On-chain governance

Token-weighted voting and treasury execution handled entirely by the DAO

Phase 3 – Modular DAO

Sub-DAOs and delegates

Ecosystem-specific DAOs manage relayers, integrations, and partnerships independently

This staged approach ensures stability during early growth while still moving toward full decentralization.

Governance Process

ETH6900’s governance process follows a clear and transparent flow designed to encourage participation and prevent rushed decision-making.

  1. Proposal Creation – Any token holder meeting the minimum proposal threshold (currently 25,000 $ETH6900) can create a formal proposal.

  2. Discussion & Feedback – The proposal is posted on the governance forum and Discord for feedback from the community and relayer operators.

  3. Voting Phase – Proposals that pass community discussion move to on-chain voting where token holders cast votes proportionally to their stake.

  4. Execution Phase – Approved proposals are executed automatically through smart contracts or DAO multi-sigs.

Voting Weight Formula:

VotingPower=TokenBalance×StakingDuration×ActivityMultiplierVoting Power = Token Balance × Staking Duration × Activity Multiplier

Long-term and active participants gain higher influence compared to passive holders, aligning incentives with consistent contribution.

Governance settings are adjustable through the DAO itself to adapt to changing participation rates and ecosystem scale.

Delegation & Representation

ETH6900 DAO encourages active participation through delegation, allowing token holders to assign their voting power to trusted community representatives.

Delegates can include:

  • Independent contributors

  • Relayer node operators

  • Wallet and dApp developers

  • Regional community leaders

Delegation helps maintain active and informed decision-making, preventing stagnation and ensuring expert-led discussions in complex technical topics.

Community Incentives

ETH6900 recognizes community engagement as a cornerstone of its governance structure. To reward active participation, a portion of the DAO treasury is dedicated to Community Incentive Programs.

Description

Reward Type

Proposal Bounties

Incentives for well-documented and beneficial proposals

$ETH6900 tokens

Delegate Rewards

Rewards for delegates who actively vote and represent stakers

Staking bonuses

Ambassador Program

$ETH6900 + NFT badges

These programs ensure governance remains inclusive and encourages ongoing engagement beyond voting alone.

Sub-DAO Architecture

As ETH6900 grows, governance responsibilities will be distributed across specialized Sub-DAOs, each managing a specific area of the ecosystem.

Sub-DAO

Focus Area

Oversight

Relayer DAO

Manages relayer onboarding, staking, and technical audits

Core DAO

Ecosystem DAO

Oversees grants, integrations, and strategic partnerships

Core DAO

Community DAO

Handles ambassador programs, events, and education

Core DAO

Treasury DAO

Controls fund disbursement, buybacks, and reporting

DAO multisig governance

Sub-DAOs increase efficiency, reduce bottlenecks, and encourage community specialization.

Transparency and Accountability

Transparency is built into the governance system by design.

  • All proposals, discussions, and votes are recorded on-chain.

  • Treasury transactions are visible through verifiable smart contracts.

  • Monthly community calls summarize progress and spending reports.

  • Governance dashboards display voting participation and delegate metrics.

This ensures that every token holder can see exactly where funds move and how decisions are made, maintaining the trust and integrity of the ETH6900 ecosystem.
