Mother DAO

The Mother Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) is the main tool that oversees the Power Protocol, controls the emission of $PWR, manages the Treasury, and defines mechanics of Child DAOs.

Features

The Mother DAO has the following features:

Feature	Description
Token Emission	Governs the emission schedule and minting parameters of $PWR.
Treasury Oversight	Manages the Treasury and its funding allocation.
DAO Creation Rules	Defines and enforces rules for Child DAO creation and activation.
Arbitration	Arbitrates disputes escalated from Child DAOs.
Parameter Control	Configures protocol parameters such as epoch cycles, quorum thresholds, pass ratios, and reward rates.

Governance Process

Mother DAO decisions follow a staged governance process:

• Stage 1: Proposal Submission.

• Stage 2: Voting Period.

• Stage 3: Quorum and Majority.

• Stage 4: Execution.

• Stage 5: Epoch Closure.

Stage 1: Proposal Submission

NOTE

Participation in the Mother DAO governance requires staking PWR tokens for a minimum lock period of 14 days.

Any stakeholder with at least 1 $PWR staked may submit a Proposal. Proposals define changes such as treasury allocation, parameter updates, or Mission DAO activation.

Stage 2: Voting Period

Proposals enter a fixed voting window aligned with the epoch system (minimum of 1 month). During this time, all stakeholders may cast votes, accounting for their Voting Power.

Stage 3: Quorum and Majority

For a proposal to pass, it must meet quorum requirements and exceed the majority threshold defined by protocol parameters.

Stage 4: Execution

Once approved, proposals are executed directly by Smart Contracts. Execution may involve updating protocol parameters, minting tokens within caps, or allocating treasury funds.

Stage 5: Epoch Closure

At the end of each epoch, rewards are distributed. Any participant can trigger epoch closure to finalize voting results and initiate reward settlement.
