DAO

Decentralized Autonomous Organization

The Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) on BSC will enable Meteor Swap token holders to have a direct say in the governance of the platform. Through the DAO mechanism, users can propose and vote on changes, updates, and other important decisions related to the platform’s development. The governance will be decentralized, empowering the community to shape the future of Meteor Swap.

Functionality Updates for BSC:

1. Token Governance on BSC:

  • BSC Tokenization: The Meteor token (MET) will serve as the governance token within the BSC ecosystem. Holders of MET tokens will be able to propose and vote on decisions related to the project, including changes to the protocol, staking rewards, and the addition of new features.

  • Voting Power: The voting power in the DAO will be proportional to the amount of Meteor tokens (MET) a user holds. This allows MET holders to directly participate in key decision-making processes within the platform.

2. On-Chain Voting via Smart Contracts:

  • BSC Smart Contracts for DAO Voting: The voting system will be based on BSC smart contracts, allowing users to vote securely and efficiently on proposals without needing intermediaries. This ensures low gas fees and high speed for voting transactions, making participation more accessible and efficient for the community.

  • Governance Proposals: Any MET token holder can submit proposals to the DAO. These proposals could include changes to the protocol, updates to the staking and yield farming models, or the integration of new features such as cross-chain support, Derivatives Trading, or new liquidity pools.

  • Time-Locked Proposals: Each proposal will be time-locked, ensuring that there is enough time for community members to review, discuss, and vote on it. The platform will implement a voting period (e.g., 7 days) to ensure sufficient participation and engagement.

3. Proposal Mechanism:

  • Community-Led Proposals: The DAO will allow any Meteor token holder to propose changes or improvements to the project. Proposals may include decisions like fee adjustments, the introduction of new features, or changes to tokenomics. Proposals will need a certain number of MET tokens staked or held as a prerequisite for submission, ensuring only active stakeholders can initiate changes.

  • Proposal Categorization: Proposals will be categorized for easy review:

    • Protocol Changes: Changes to core platform mechanics or smart contract updates.

    • New Features: Proposals to integrate new utilities, tokens, or features such as NFTs, Derivatives, or Cross-Chain Swaps.

    • Funding Proposals: Proposals related to platform funding, such as incentives for liquidity providers or developer grants.

4. Voting System:

  • Quorum Requirement: For a proposal to be valid, a minimum quorum of voters (e.g., 10% of total MET holders) must participate in the vote to ensure a fair and representative decision-making process.

  • Voting Mechanism:

    • For and Against Votes: Users can vote “For” or “Against” a proposal using their Meteor tokens (MET). Each token represents one vote.

    • Supermajority Requirement: For proposals to pass, a supermajority (e.g., 60% or more of the votes) will be required.

  • Delegated Voting: Users can delegate their voting rights to a trusted community leader or representative if they do not wish to vote directly. This allows MET holders to empower individuals who are active and knowledgeable within the community to represent their votes.

5. Rewards for Participation:

  • DAO Participation Rewards: To incentivize active participation, users who engage in governance (by voting on proposals or submitting proposals) will be rewarded with additional Meteor tokens (MET) or governance-based NFTs that grant special privileges or staking bonuses.

  • Incentives for Proposal Support: Users who propose highly supported ideas can receive rewards in the form of MET tokens or additional staking rewards.

6. Security and Audits:

  • DAO Security on BSC: All DAO-related smart contracts will be audited regularly by leading security firms to ensure the integrity and safety of the governance system. This includes audits for potential vulnerabilities in voting mechanisms, token distribution models, and contract execution.

  • Escrow Mechanisms: To further prevent manipulation or fraudulent activities, funds associated with governance proposals (such as developer grants or protocol changes) will be controlled by a time-locked escrow mechanism. This ensures that funds are only released if the governance decision is properly executed.

7. DAO Treasury:

  • Decentralized Fund Management: The DAO will have its own treasury, which will be funded through a portion of platform fees, a percentage of staking rewards, and treasury contributions from Meteor tokens. This treasury will be governed by the community and can be used to fund:

    • Community-driven development: Funding for platform upgrades or new feature development.

    • Liquidity incentives: Rewards for liquidity providers and yield farmers.

    • Marketing campaigns: Promoting the Meteor Swap platform through community-driven marketing efforts.

8. DAO Dashboard:

  • User Interface for DAO Interaction: A dedicated DAO Dashboard will be integrated into the Meteor Swap platform, allowing users to easily access:

    • Active proposals: View and vote on live proposals.

    • Voting history: Track how they voted and the outcomes of past proposals.

    • Governance analytics: Visualize participation rates, voting outcomes, and community engagement in governance.


Key Benefits of DAO on BSC:

  1. Low Transaction Fees: Due to BSC’s low gas fees, voting and participation in governance will be affordable and accessible for all users.

  2. Increased Community Engagement: The DAO system ensures that MET token holders have a direct influence on the platform’s future, creating a strong sense of community ownership.

  3. Transparency: All governance decisions are recorded on-chain, ensuring complete transparency for the community.

  4. Decentralized Decision-Making: The platform will be governed by its users, ensuring that all decisions reflect the best interests of the community and the ecosystem.

  5. Secure and Audited: DAO smart contracts will undergo regular security audits to protect users and ensure the integrity of the system.
