🧬 Founder Succession & DAO Vault Protocol
Conneth isn’t just about building for now — it’s about protecting the future. This page outlines how Conneth stays secure and decentralized even if core founders leave, become inactive, or pass away. No single person should ever be a point of failure in a decentralized system.
🧑🚀 Succession Design Philosophy
DAO-first governance: All protocol-critical functions must always be recoverable or reassignable by the DAO.
Founder neutrality: Conneth can thrive with or without any specific founder — it is driven by community logic, not personality.
Transparent contingency plans ensure long-term trust for users, investors, and developers.
🔐 Vault Logic: Emergency Inactivity Protocol
If a founder becomes inactive or unresponsive for a set duration (e.g., 90–180 days), the protocol activates a vault fallback system managed by the DAO.
✅ How It Works:
Founders use multi-sig for key roles (e.g., treasury, GitHub, smart contract ownership)
If a founder wallet is inactive for
Xdays, the DAO:Opens a Succession Proposal vote
Assigns the role to another verified DAO member or Foundation rep
Vaults have:
Time-based recovery unlocks
Multi-party decryption authority
On-chain inactivity triggers
🛡️ DAO Vault Protection Layers
🔑 Multisig + Inactivity Timer
Protects from total loss of access if keys are lost or a founder disappears
🧾 Proof-of-Activity Oracle
Measures on-chain and GitHub activity from founder wallets
⚖️ DAO Dispute Vote Mechanism
Allows community to challenge any vault unlock via proposal voting
🧭 Succession Voting Rules (Proposed)
Proposal requires 15% of active DAO voters to trigger
24–48 hour debate period
Multisig rotation occurs only if:
Inactivity is confirmed
No emergency override response is given by original founder wallet
🌍 Legal Alignment
All vault & fallback mechanisms are documented under the Conneth Foundation Charter
Enables real-world legal defense against centralized seizure or misuse
Proves resilience and transparency to exchanges and regulators
