# AIA Chain DAO

The AIA Chain DAO consists of all holders of AIA Chain tokens (referred to as AIA) and is the highest authority of the project. The DAO has the following functions: amending management rules, overseeing their implementation, initiating agenda votes, overturning improper decisions, and approving significant business matters and changes.

As the ecosystem develops and the number of token holders increases, the AIA Chain DAO will gradually take over the governance functions temporarily managed by the AIA Chain Foundation. Community members will exercise their voting rights based on the number of tokens they hold and the results of the vote. Voting proposals will be held periodically.

The AIA Chain Foundation will soon introduce a self-executing DAO governance model based on AIA Chain.

### DAO Governance Process

AIA Chain's governance mechanism follows a four-stage process: motion proposal, community discussion, decision-making, and implementation.

**Motion Proposal Stage**

Community members holding 1 million AIA or the corresponding LST/LRT tokens can propose governance motions. The content of the motion should be discussed on internal social platforms (such as Discord/Telegram) to collect feedback from the community. The motion will undergo an initial evaluation to ensure it meets legal and regulatory requirements.

**Community Discussion and Evaluation**

The motion will be widely discussed within the community, where members can provide feedback and suggestions. The AIA Foundation and the Technical Execution Committee will assess the feasibility, impact, and implementation difficulty of the motion, and an evaluation report will be prepared.

**Voting Stage**

After sufficient discussion and evaluation, the motion will be submitted to the DAO for a vote. The voting will follow a one-token, one-vote rule and will be conducted with very low interaction costs on AIA Chain. If the number of supporting votes (including delegated votes) exceeds 3/5 of the total votes within the set time frame (usually 7 days), the motion will pass. If the supporting votes are between 2/5 and 3/5, a one-time amendment proposal will be put forward for a second vote. If the supporting votes are below 1/5, the motion will be rejected, and no further votes will be held on the matter for at least six months.

AIA Chain practices on-chain governance, meaning that token holders vote based on the weight of their tokens. The on-chain voting protocol is open, verifiable, and immediate, and it supports non-binary outcomes.

**Implementation Stage**

If the motion is approved, the Technical Execution Committee will be responsible for implementing the proposal. The implementation process must comply with the project development plan and legal requirements, ensuring the effectiveness and security of the proposal. The results of the implementation will be publicly reported to the community and will be subject to oversight.
