6. Governance & DAO
🗳️ Governance & DAO
Conneth isn’t just a protocol — it’s a people-powered movement.
At the core of its future lies the Conneth DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization): a system of governance run by real users, real votes, and real trust.
🏛️ What is the Conneth DAO?
The Conneth DAO is a decentralized governance layer where:
$CONN holders propose and vote on platform decisions
Contributors and PoC-verified users gain weighted influence
Major upgrades, funding, and rules are community-driven
🧠 Power is not based on staking only — it’s weighted by Proof-of-Connection and trust score, not just wallets.
🗳️ How Voting Works
To vote in Conneth:
You must hold $CONN in your wallet
Your Trust Score from PoC affects your voting power
You vote via on-chain DAO portals (coming soon)
Proposals pass if they reach quorum and time lock
Voting Power Formula:
nginxCopyVoting Weight = $CONN Held × Trust Score MultiplierThis ensures that bots, whales, and new wallets don’t dominate the system without human trust.

Even if you're not a developer, you can still earn and be honored.
🔐 DAO Vault & Multi-Sig System
To ensure security:
All critical $CONN reserves are held in a multi-signature vault
DAO-elected guardians must sign off on major fund transfers
Emergency fallback rules apply if signers go inactive
Vault safety protects the community from hacks, abandonment, or bad actors.
🧬 Legacy Governance Plan
Conneth is built to outlive its founders.
If the founding team becomes inactive or unreachable, the DAO triggers the Legacy Governance Plan:
DAO appoints new signers
All contracts move to community custody
Emergency DAO vote unlocks access to roadmap-critical systems
This guarantees decentralized succession, so Conneth is forever owned by the people.
