Foundation-Led

Phase 2 (Year 2)

Shared Governance

  • Technical committee elected
  • Treasury partially controlled by DAO
  • Team transitions to advisory role

Phase 3 (Year 3+)

DAO-Led

  • Team members as contributors (not controllers)
  • Foundation becomes legal wrapper only
  • Self-sustaining network operations

Team Token Vesting
