Governance & DAO Vision
Proof of Purpose was designed for autonomy and long-term scalability. Here's how governance evolves as we grow — and how cities can form their own chapters under a shared protocol.
🧠 Governance Philosophy
- Local control, global infrastructure
- Transparent role management
- Fund flows and contract upgrades governed by stakeholders
- Reputation-based systems for trust and accountability
🗳️ DAO Voting System (Planned)
We'll introduce Snapshot-style voting for:
- Approving new Admins
- Treasury adjustments
- Scaling proposals
- Chapter onboarding
- Ruleset changes
Voting rights will be based on:
- Participation history
- Donor tier
- Admin reputation
- Champion contribution (non-financial weight)
🏙️ Local Chapters (City Expansion)
Each city operates semi-independently via:
- Unique Firebase instance or namespaced path
- Local admin teams
- Separate USDC reserves (optional)
- Shared or forked smart contracts (modular)
Smart Contract Options:
- Use a global $PURPOSE token with city ID tag
- Deploy new redemption contracts per city
- Allocate sub-treasuries or use multi-sigs for local oversight
Each chapter must:
- Follow Code of Conduct
- Onboard approved vendors/admins
- Submit impact reports to the parent DAO
🧩 Chapter Onboarding Process
- Submit city proposal (via DAO vote or admin team)
- Deploy smart contracts or connect to central contract
- Set up Firebase for users/bounties
- Launch locally with approved Admins and Vendors
- Begin posting bounties!
🔄 Future Integration
- City-level analytics dashboards
- DAO-managed treasury splits
- Cross-city leaderboard
- Local and global bounties
