7. On-Chain Governance & Decentralization

7.1 Governance Mechanisms

Decentralization is not only about technology but also about community-driven governance. We implement:

• DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) frameworks for parameter changes and treasury management.

• On-chain proposal creation with transparent voting processes.

7.2 Voting Protocols & Staking

Solana’s core staking model ensures network security. We extend it for governance by introducing:

• Weighted Voting: Votes are proportional to the amount of staked governance tokens.

• Multi-tier Staking: Long-term stakers get higher voting weights.

7.3 Zero-Knowledge Proofs for Governance

To safeguard voter privacy, we explore ZK-SNARKs and ZK-STARKs to enable confidential voting, ensuring the system remains fair and tamper-resistant.
