The REPO Governance Framework establishes a comprehensive structure for decision-making across various levels of the system. It outlines the roles and responsibilities of both the Protocol and RepoDAO levels, ensuring strategic oversight, economic management, and community involvement. By defining clear governance tiers, proposal processes, and risk management mechanisms, the framework fosters transparency, security, and long-term growth. The framework aims to empower stakeholders, balance competing priorities, and drive the sustainable development of the REPO ecosystem.
The governance structure is divided into two levels: Protocol and RepoDAO. The Protocol Level oversees system-wide decisions, including strategic direction, economic parameters, and risk management. The RepoDAO Level focuses on project operations, community management, technical priorities, resource allocation, and local governance, fostering engagement and contribution within specific projects.
The governance tiers of RepoDAO consist of three levels: Basic, Advanced, and Premium. Each tier requires a different minimum stake of $REPO and grants various rights. Basic members can vote and provide feedback, while Advanced members gain proposal creation and analytics access. Premium members enjoy emergency proposals, meta-governance, and enhanced rewards.
The proposal framework outlines the process for governance decisions, covering proposal types such as parameter updates, treasury actions, protocol upgrades, strategic initiatives, and emergency actions. The lifecycle includes drafting, formal submission, voting, a 48-hour time lock, and implementation. Voting thresholds vary by proposal type, with higher approval and quorum requirements for major updates and emergency actions.
Risk management in this system incorporates safety mechanisms like multi-signature requirements, time-locked execution, gradual parameter changes, and emergency pause capabilities to ensure security. Treasury management follows strict guidelines, including asset diversification, risk exposure limits, regular audits, and strategic rebalancing, maintaining financial stability and minimizing vulnerabilities in the ecosystem.
Sustainability Measures outline strategies for long-term growth. Economic incentives include staking, contribution, governance rewards, and alignment bonuses. Development support features grants, technical docs, tools, and community resources. Growth initiatives focus on partnerships, cross-chain expansion, market development, and community education to ensure continued progress and ecosystem vitality.
