[DEPRECATED] SSV Network DAO Guidelines

DAO Rules

  • This guide is an initial set of rules, the below rules can be changed by a DAO decision.
  • The SSV token is used for voting on all SSV.Network decisions, exclusively unless the DAO decided otherwise.
  • A minimal quorum requires 5% of circulating SSV supply, based on the number of CDT converted to SSV and newly minted SSV tokens.
  • A submitted proposal must start voting within 1 month of submission.
  • A vote on a proposal is 7 days long, requiring >50% of positive votes. The date and time in which a vote has ended is called vote expiry.
  • Voting is done on snapshot, an off-chain voting dApp developed by Balancer.
  • Execution of any passed vote is done via the multisig committee according to the mechanical specifications of the proposals.
  • Execution will occur within 60 days of vote expiry.
  • In case the execution details are unclear, the multisig committee will indicate so. The proposer will have 7 days to respond and resolve the issue.
  • If a proposal depends on a previous proposal, the dependency proposal must be passed and executed before the execution of the original proposal.
  • Anyone with 100 SSV tokens can submit a proposal.

Proposal Life Cycle

A proposal should start its life as a forum discussion to receive community consensus, although this is not strictly mandatory.
A proposer should write a proposal following the template in the appendix to maximize the probability of success.
When a proposal is submitted it has a start and end date which must follow the DAO rules.
Once the vote period expires a passed/ rejected status will be automatically assigned to the proposal.
A passed proposal will enter the execution queue, a vote is executed after its full execution.
