Governance Process

OmniSocial uses on-chain governance powered by smart contracts and DAO logic

This enables transparent, verifiable, and community-driven evolution of both the protocol and supporting resources (like documentation, grants, and upgrades).

What Can Be Governed?

OmniSocial governance covers both technical and non-technical proposals, including:

Category	Examples
Protocol Upgrades	Adding new smart contracts, UUPS upgrades, contract configuration
Documentation Changes	Proposals to modify or update the whitepaper/docs
Reputation Domains	Creating or modifying reputation categories
DAO Configuration	Adjusting voting/quorum thresholds, DAO membership, etc.
Feature Requests	Integrating new modules, improving UX, or adding SDK endpoints
Treasury Allocations	Grant funding to contributors or projects

🔁 Governance Lifecycle

OmniSocial DAOs follow a consistent lifecycle:

1. Idea Stage Discuss ideas with the community on the Governance Forum.

2. Draft Proposal (Optional Off-Chain) Write a draft using our Proposal Template.

3. On-Chain Proposal Use the OmniSocial UI or DAO dashboard to create a proposal on-chain:

   • Title, description (Markdown/HTML supported)

   • Call data for proposed contract execution (optional)

   • Duration (set by DAO config)

4. Voting Period Token- or reputation-weighted voting takes place:

   • Users sign or broadcast votes

   • 1-persona-1-vote or weighted depending on DAO setup

   📊 Monitor votes here: Proposal Explorer

5. Execution (If Passed) After quorum is met and voting ends:

   • Timelock delay counts down

   • Proposal is executed via on-chain logic (e.g., execute() call)

⚙️ Governance Contracts

Contract	Purpose
DAOFactory	Deploys and registers new DAOs
DAO.sol	Manages proposals, voting, timelocks
RepModule	Assigns voting weight by rep domain

Example Functions:

function createProposal(bytes calldata actions, string calldata description) external;
function castVote(uint256 proposalId, bool support) external;
function executeProposal(uint256 proposalId) external;

✅ Voting Rights

Each DAO may define its own rules:

Type	Description
Token-weighted	Voting power based on staked tokens
Reputation-weighted	Voting power by earned rep (e.g. governance rep)
1P1V (one-persona)	Equal vote weight per active PersonaNFT

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Participation Tips

• Use a verified .omni identity for maximum governance access

• Consider enabling 2FA/U2F before voting for added security

• Stay informed on proposals in the Notifications tab
