DAO & Governance

What Is a DAO?

DAO stands for Decentralized Autonomous Organization: a system where protocol upgrades, treasury spending, and key project decisions are made by the community—on-chain, transparent, and censorship-resistant. Every THAI holder can help shape TradeHeavenAI’s future.

Our Governance Model

• Token Voting: $THAI holders vote on proposals—1 token = 1 vote (staked tokens may carry more weight)
• Proposal Types: Protocol upgrades, reward schedules, grants, listings, new AI features, partnerships, etc.
• How It Works:
  1. Any user with a minimum THAI balance (see dashboard) can submit a proposal
  2. Proposals are reviewed by the core team (for spam/safety)
  3. Voting opens for a set period—votes are cast on-chain
  4. Passed proposals are automatically queued for execution or team action
• Transparency: All votes and proposal histories are public on Solana

DAO Treasury & Grants

• DAO Treasury: 29.98% of all THAI tokens are managed by the DAO multisig wallet
• Usage: Community grants, buybacks, marketing, audits, product bounties, and ecosystem rewards
• Grants: Any user or team can propose a grant (e.g., build a bot, launch a strategy, create content)
• All treasury movements are transparent and verifiable on Solscan

How to Participate & Vote

1. Hold or stake any amount of $THAI in your wallet
2. Visit the dashboard governance section
3. Review current proposals and vote directly with your wallet
4. To submit a new proposal, use the dashboard or open a forum post (coming soon)
5. Results and upcoming votes are always live and on-chain

DAO Upgrades & Roadmap

Security & Best Practices

• Never share your private keys—votes are signed, not transferred
• Use only the official dashboard for submitting/voting on proposals
• Track all actions on-chain for transparency
• DAO funds are always managed by multisig wallets and community consensus
