Unite Community Governance Rules

Last update: October 24, 2025

Unite is pleased to announce the establishment of community governance rights of the Unite protocol. This first phase aligns with previous plans to incrementally increase token holders’ governance rights over time.

Governance Rights of Token Holders:

• Proposal Submission: Any $UNITE token holder who holds at least 1 UNITE token on Base can now formally submit a Unite Proposal (UP) through the official Unite voting channel. The current voting channel is hosted on Snapshot.box: https://snapshot.box/#/s:unite.io

• Voting Rights: All $UNITE holders are eligible to vote on active proposals. Voting is conducted on-chain, primarily on Base.

• Proposal Categories:

  • Live now: Charter-Altering Proposals –Affect core governance mechanisms, protocol logic, or system parameters. Require a 2/3 supermajority of those voting and 5% quorum to pass.

Ways the General Public Can Suggest Changes:

Ideation Phase (Optional, 7 Days): Any community member (not just token holders) can post preliminary ideas to public forums and gather feedback before formal submission. This helps gauge sentiment and refine proposals before a formal vote. The Unite forum is available at https://forum.unite.io/.

Implementation and Veto Power:

• Proposals that pass community voting enter a cooldown and finalization period before execution.

• The Security Assembly, under instruction from the DAO, holds limited veto power to block or pause proposals that:

  • Breach laws

  • Violate the fundamental purpose of the Charter

  • Pose significant risks to the protocol or community

• Additionally, the Oversight Committee (elected by the community but the first five members are assigned by the DAO) has emergency powers to veto or pause harmful proposals by 3-out-of-5 consensus.

Execution of Governance Proposals:

• Code Execution: Some aspects of the system are automated via smart contracts and can be executed without further input once a proposal passes all governance phases.

• Manual Implementation: Other proposals require off-chain coordination or are executed by the Oversight Committee or authorized developers.

• Oversight Committee: A five-member team elected by TAKI DAO Foundation oversees protocol integrity. They can:

  • Perform emergency vetoes

  • Carry out minor, non-contentious upgrades

  • Publish all actions within 48 hours for transparency

• Multi-sig Treasury: The Community Vault is managed by a multi-sig wallet or smart contract automation. Token holders control funding decisions via governance proposals, and:

  • All disbursements are public and auditable

  • Payment schedules must follow milestone-based plans tied to approved UPs

Future State Governance

The ability of the community to propose and ratify charter amendments is the first step towards broad based community governance, In the future, the community will be able to initiate a wide range of operational proposal, including:

• Ecosystem development funding

• Marketing and community grants

• Game listing approvals

• Strategic partnerships (Alliances)

• Informational or advisory documents.

These require a simple majority ("yes" > "no") and 2% quorum.
