Zisk DAO Governance

Zisk DAO Governance

Zisk is governed by a decentralized autonomous organization (Zisk DAO) that ensures the protocol evolves in a transparent, community-driven, and decentralized manner. All critical protocol decisions are proposed, reviewed, and executed through on-chain governance.


What Zisk DAO Governs

Zisk DAO controls the core parameters, direction, and resource allocation of the Zisk ecosystem.


Protocol Upgrades

Zisk DAO governs all protocol-level upgrades, including:

  • Core protocol logic

  • Proof Engine enhancements

  • Security and performance optimizations

Upgrades are proposed, audited, and voted on before deployment, ensuring stability and decentralization.


Fees & Economic Parameters

Zisk DAO determines and adjusts:

  • Proof generation and verification fees

  • Fee-burning ratios

  • Staking requirements and slashing rules

This allows the protocol’s economics to adapt to network demand while maintaining sustainability.


Module Approvals

All new protocol modules require DAO approval, including:

  • SocialFi verification modules

  • AI verification and detection modules

  • Enterprise and compliance-focused modules

This ensures quality, security, and alignment with Zisk’s long-term vision.


Ecosystem Grants

Zisk DAO allocates grants to:

  • Developers building on Zisk

  • Tooling, SDKs, and infrastructure

  • Research and protocol improvements

Grant proposals are evaluated based on impact, feasibility, and ecosystem value.


Treasury Spending

The DAO manages the Zisk treasury, including:

  • Ecosystem incentives

  • Operational funding

  • Strategic partnerships

All treasury spending is transparent and governed by on-chain proposals and voting.


Governance Principles

Zisk DAO operates under the following principles:

  • Transparency — All proposals and votes are publicly auditable

  • Decentralization — No single entity controls protocol decisions

  • Accountability — Clear incentives and slashing for malicious behavior

  • Community-first — Long-term value over short-term speculation


Governance Summary

Zisk DAO ensures that:

  • The protocol evolves safely and efficiently

  • Economic parameters remain aligned with real usage

  • The ecosystem grows through open participation

  • Treasury resources are used responsibly

Zisk DAO transforms governance into a verifiable, trust-minimized process—just like the rest of the Zisk protocol.
