Governance Model
Here's a merged and updated Governance Model section that better reflects your vision:
At MoonCat, we believe that true decentralization and governance should enhance the value of the core token rather than dilute it by introducing additional governance tokens. MCT will serve as the sole token driving governance and decision-making within the ecosystem.
Core Governance Principles
Stake-Weighted Voting Voting power is determined by staked MCT, combining both 7-day and 1-year stakes. This ensures those most committed to the protocol have proportional influence over its direction.
AI-Enhanced Decision Making Our governance system uniquely integrates AI as an analytical tool that operates within community-defined guardrails. AI enhances rather than replaces human judgment, creating a bridge between technological efficiency and collective wisdom.
Value Alignment All governance decisions from staking rewards to treasury allocations are designed to strengthen MCT's value and ensure decisions benefit both the community and the protocol.
How Governance Works
Proposal Process
Submission: MCT holders meeting the proposal threshold can submit governance proposals
AI Analysis: Our AI system analyzes proposals across multiple dimensions:
Security impact assessment
Economic feasibility evaluation
Community alignment scoring
Technical implementation clarity
Community Discussion: AI insights guide informed discussion without replacing human judgment
Voting: Staked MCT holders vote on proposals
Execution: Passed proposals execute through timelock contracts after a 48-hour delay
AI's Role in Governance
Current Implementation (Phase 1)
Analyzes proposals to provide risk assessments and insights
Translates complex technical proposals into accessible language
Offers data-driven recommendations while maintaining transparency
All AI suggestions remain advisory—final decisions rest with the community
Future Vision
Enhanced pattern recognition for identifying beneficial proposals
Automated execution of routine, pre-approved governance tasks
Continuous learning from governance outcomes to improve recommendations
Always operating within community-established parameters
Governance Scope
The community governs critical protocol functions including:
Staking reward rates (dynamic APR adjustments)
LP optimization parameters and fee structures
Treasury allocations and strategic partnerships
Protocol upgrades and new feature implementations
Security & Execution
All governance decisions execute through our multi-layered security architecture:
Timelock Controllers: 48-hour delay for all critical operations
Gnosis Safe Integration: Multi-signature requirements for execution
Role-Based Access: Granular permissions for different operations
Emergency Mechanisms: Community-controlled pause functions for protection
By anchoring governance in MCT and enhancing it with AI analysis, we create a system where technology serves human interests, ensuring that all decisions made benefit both the community and the project's long-term success.
