🗳️ Governance: Shape the Future of Ciro Network

From Factory Floor to DAO: Real-World Governance for Real Impact

Ciro Network’s governance isn’t just code—it’s a living, breathing community process. Inspired by real-world collaboration, our on-chain governance ensures every voice matters, every decision is transparent, and the protocol evolves with its people.


🌍 What is On-Chain Governance?

On-chain governance means all major decisions are made by the community, on the blockchain, in the open. No backroom deals, no hidden changes—just transparent, auditable, and fair protocol evolution.


📝 How Proposals Work

Anyone with enough CIRO can propose changes, including:

  • Protocol upgrades: Add new features, fix bugs, or improve security
  • Treasury actions: Fund grants, partnerships, or ecosystem growth
  • Parameter changes: Adjust fees, inflation, rewards, or slashing rates
  • Emergency actions: Pause the protocol, defend against attacks, or recover funds

Proposal lifecycle:

  1. Create: Submit a proposal (must meet minimum token threshold)
  2. Discuss: Community reviews and debates the proposal
  3. Vote: Token holders vote (weighted by voting power)
  4. Execute: If quorum and thresholds are met, the proposal is executed on-chain

🏛️ Voting Power & Participation

  • Progressive voting: The longer you hold CIRO, the more your vote counts (veteran/long-term multipliers)
  • Quorum: Proposals need enough participation to pass (prevents small groups from making big changes)
  • Supermajority: Critical changes (upgrades, treasury) require 67%+ support
  • Anti-spam: Cooldowns and proposal limits per user

👥 Council & Multi-Sig: Safety Nets for the Network

  • Council: Elected or appointed members with multi-sig authority for emergencies, upgrades, and treasury actions
  • Multi-sig: No single person can act alone—major actions require multiple approvals
  • Emergency controls: Council can pause the protocol, authorize emergency withdrawals, or defend against attacks

💰 Treasury Management

  • On-chain treasury: All funds are managed by the DAO, with full transparency
  • Proposals: Anyone can propose treasury actions (grants, investments, buybacks)
  • Emergency withdrawal: Council can act quickly if the protocol is threatened
  • Audit tracking: All treasury actions are logged and reviewed

🛡️ Security & Safeguards

  • Timelocks: Delays before execution give the community time to react
  • Audit tracking: Security reviews and findings are public
  • Blacklisting: Malicious actors can be excluded by governance
  • Upgradeability: All changes require on-chain approval and/or council sign-off

🚀 How to Participate

  • Propose: If you have enough CIRO, submit your idea for a vote
  • Vote: Use your tokens to support or oppose proposals
  • Join the council: Top contributors and institutional partners can be elected to the council
  • Discuss: Every proposal is open for community debate—your input matters!
