Governance

SHLTRS is an ERC-20 token that governs key parameters of the Civilization Arches project and its ecosystem. These parameters control various aspects of the project's development, expansion, and community engagement. Voting rights are proportional to the amount of SHLTRS tokens a user owns or is delegated. To register their voting balance, users must delegate their token balance to an address (either their own or someone else's).Most of the decisions made by the Civilization Arches DAO have on-chain results. To ensure informed decision-making and transparent communication with the wider community, the governance process in Civilization Arches consists of multiple steps.

Governance Proposals

There are three main categories a CAP (Civilization Arches Proposal) can fall under: Core, Process, or Informational.

CORE
Proposals which require on-chain actions, including treasury grants and project expansions. See Governance Powers.

PROCESSProposals for making a change to a process or implementation. Examples include location selection, contractor selection, and exchange listing procedures.

INFORMATIONAL
Proposals for general guidelines or information for the community.

Governance Process

Phase 1 - Proposal Submission
All ideas and proposals are initially published on the Civilization Arches platform. The purpose of this phase is to receive community feedback and engagement. Proposals undergo a phase of improvements and objections. If the proposal is well-received and feedback is incorporated, it can proceed to the next step.

Discussion Timeframe: Minimum 7 days

Phase 2 - Community Vote
The second phase involves community voting through Snapshot, a gas-less voting platform. Community members delegated a minimum number of tokens can submit proposals subject to a 14-day voting period. If the proposal receives support from a majority of participating votes, with a minimum threshold of SHLTRS yes votes, it can proceed to an on-chain execution vote.

Proposal Threshold: 100,000 SHLTRS
Voting Delay: 2 days
Voting Period: 14 days
Quorum: TBD SHLTRS

Governance Process

Phase 3 - On-Chain Execution
The next phase involves creating an on-chain proposal with code to be executed. Tally can be used as an interface to interact with the governance contract. On-chain proposals must be made by a member with the minimum number of tokens delegated, based on a successful phase two vote. Once proposed, votes will last 14 days. If the proposal receives majority support, with a minimum of SHLTRS yes votes, any member can queue the execution of the proposal. After a 2-day execution delay, the proposal can be executed.

Proposal Threshold: TBD SHLTRS
Voting Delay: 1 block
Voting Period: 14 days
Quorum: TBD SHLTRS
Execution Delay: 2 days

Governance Powers
Community governance has the power to control various aspects of the Civilization Arches project and its ecosystem:

1. Select Civilization Arches locations

2. Participate in the selection of contractors for communal shelters design and more

3. Finance the listing of the SHLTRS token on selected exchanges

4. Participate in the selection of contractors for the promotion of the SHLTRS token and market makers for centralized exchange development

5. Receive rewards for providing liquidity to the SHLTRS Token

Committees

To streamline certain operations, some activities of the DAO are governed by committees:

Safety Committee: Ensures that CAPs follow the governance process outlined above and prevent proposals that haven't followed the proper process from passing.

Expansion Committee: Facilitates expansions and upgrades to the Civilization Arches project, including new locations, infrastructure upgrades, and ecosystem developments.

Incentive Committee: Manages incentive programs for Civilization Arches users, utilizing a portion of the token supply for incentive programs and market liquidity. If all of the incentive budget is utilized, more can be allocated to the Incentive Committee via governance.
