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

  1. Submit city proposal (via DAO vote or admin team)
  2. Deploy smart contracts or connect to central contract
  3. Set up Firebase for users/bounties
  4. Launch locally with approved Admins and Vendors
  5. Begin posting bounties!

🔄 Future Integration

  • City-level analytics dashboards
  • DAO-managed treasury splits
  • Cross-city leaderboard
  • Local and global bounties
