GovernOS

GovernOS turns any community token into a programmable institution.

It provides one-click DAOs, audited treasury rails, on-chain proposals, executable actions, and long-horizon incentive flows. Projects don’t just “have a token” — they operate as sovereign, governed economies.


What GovernOS solves

Most tokens ignite culture, then stall on coordination. Teams juggle multisigs, Google Sheets and ad-hoc votes, creating opacity and execution risk. GovernOS replaces this with:

  • DAO by default – permissionless deployment, clear roles, and predictable process.

  • Executable proposals – votes that do things (treasury moves, emissions, fee routing, upgrades).

  • Treasury observability – public dashboards, auditable histories, policy-based spend.

  • Aligned incentives – governance tied to StakeOS (ve(3,3)) and LaunchOS curation.


Core capabilities

  • Instant DAO deployment

    Input a token address → GovernOS instantiates a DAO treasury + governance contracts + dashboard.

    No custodial control, no admin keys required.

  • Dual governance ready

    • veTOKEN (per-project): local decisions (treasury, incentives, upgrades).

    • veLAIKA (protocol/meta): emissions routing, parameters, curated launch curation.

      Projects inherit this model automatically and can tune local parameters.

  • Executable actions (templates)

    Proposals map to pre-audited actions, so successful votes execute on-chain without bespoke scripting.

  • Policy rails for money

    Budgets, spend caps, vesting/escrow, time-locks and multi-step approvals reduce operator risk.

  • Seamless module hooks

    Native integrations with StakeOS (emissions/bribes), LaunchOS (curation incentives), ShillOS (campaign funding), BarkSwap (treasury swaps), and future EquityOS.


Deployment & flow

  1. Create DAO

    • Submit token address, set initial parameters (quorum, voting period, timelock).

    • Treasury wallet is instantiated; dashboard goes live.

  2. Eligibility & snapshots

    • Proposer threshold (default): must hold ≥ 0.5% of token at snapshot to open a proposal.

    • Voting power = veTOKEN at snapshot; non-transferable, duration-weighted.

  3. Propose → Vote → Execute

    • Choose an Action Template, fill required fields, publish proposal.

    • Voting window opens; after quorum and majority, the proposal enters timelock.

    • On expiry, execution calls the pre-audited method(s) atomically.

  4. Observe & iterate

    • Treasury changes, emissions and campaign performance appear in the dashboard.

    • Operators use built-in reports to propose the next epoch’s adjustments.

Defaults are governance-tunable. Projects see the active policy at creation time.


Action templates (non-exhaustive)

  • Emissions & Rewards

    • Adjust emissions / staking rewards (target module, rate, split, start block)

    • Redirect protocol fees (source, share %, route: buyback→veTOKEN/treasury/burn)

    • Buyback & burn / buyback & vest (budget, frequency, duration)

  • Treasury & Distribution

    • Treasury transfer / grant (to, amount, purpose tag)

    • Treasury swap (sell/buy token, route, slippage, deadline)

    • Airdrop from DAO (amount, list/snapshot, vesting, claim window)

  • Launch & Incentives

    • Create Cabal Launch incentives (launch ID, pool size, vesting, program duration)

    • Fund ShillOS campaign (brief, escrow asset, payout rules)

  • Safety & Operations

    • Pause / unpause a module (StakeOS, LaunchOS, GovernOS, Bribes, …)

    • Pause / enable global features (incentives, governance, bribes)

    • Parameter updates (quorum, vote time, timelock, caps/decays)

Each template exposes required fields with validation and shows a calldata preview before publish.


Default parameters (project-level, can be changed by vote)

  • Quorum: 10% of veTOKEN supply

  • Voting period: 96 hours

  • Execution delay (timelock): 24 hours

  • Proposer threshold: 0.5% of token supply

  • Proposal types: binding (on-chain), signaling (off-chain note)

  • Treasury policies: spend caps per epoch; allowlisted routes for swaps and fee redirects

Signals can be escalated into binding proposals with a one-click “promote to on-chain” flow.


Roles & responsibilities

  • Proposers (≥ threshold): draft with templates, include rationale & KPIs, respond to Q&A.

  • Voters (veTOKEN holders): evaluate ROI, risk, and alignment; cast votes; monitor delivery.

  • Executors (automated): execute after timelock; revert if post-conditions fail.

  • Reviewers (optional): configurable risk council for emergency pause on critical modules.


Safety & guardrails

  • Time-locks protect against surprise treasury moves.

  • Spend caps and rate limits reduce large outflows and flash programs.

  • Multi-sig fallbacks (view-only) for monitoring; execution remains programmatic.

  • Pause hooks for StakeOS/LaunchOS/Bribes with community overrides.

  • Anti-capture analytics: vote entropy, whale concentration, proposer diversity.


Plain-language notes

  • Governance determines where value flows; APRs or outcomes are never guaranteed.

  • Locks define your voting power at snapshot; early exit penalties may apply (StakeOS policy).

  • Proposals that spend funds are irreversible once executed; review dashboards before voting.

  • Always verify contract addresses and official links in-app.


TL;DR

GovernOS makes governance operational. Proposals aren’t forum posts — they’re executable programs that steer treasuries, emissions and growth. When communities coordinate, the rest of the Super App amplifies the result.
