9. Governance
QuantumGround is built on the principle of decentralized participation. As the platform grows from MVP to full-scale Agentic IDE, governance over its evolution will gradually transition from the founding team to a token-holder–driven DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization), powered by the $QGD token.
9.1 Governance Objectives
Empower the community to propose, debate, and implement meaningful upgrades
Ensure the long-term sustainability of the protocol through transparent decision-making
Reward those who contribute to QuantumGround’s growth and improvement
9.2 Governance Structure
QGD Holders
Vote on proposals, protocol parameters, treasury allocations
Proposal Authors
Submit improvement proposals (QIP: Quantum Improvement Proposals)
Governance Facilitators
Ensure proposals are clearly written, on-topic, and community-reviewed
Treasury Multisig
Executes proposals approved by governance vote (transitional until full DAO ops)
Eventually, the treasury and core protocol logic will be fully managed via smart contracts.
9.3 Proposal Types
Protocol upgrades (AI model, deployment logic, security rules)
Ecosystem funding (grants, audits, bounties)
Module approval and registry changes
Fee adjustments (AI usage fees, module access costs)
Treasury spend proposals
Governance process improvements
9.4 Voting Mechanism
Voting power is proportional to QGD held or staked
Snapshot voting integrated with on-chain proposal execution
Quorum and approval thresholds will evolve via governance
9.5 Governance Roadmap
Phase 1
Off-chain discussion + Snapshot voting by QGD holders
Phase 2
On-chain proposal system + Treasury multisig execution
Phase 3
Fully on-chain DAO governance & autonomous treasury control
Governance is not just a feature—it is a foundational layer of QuantumGround’s evolution, designed to ensure that the system is built with and for its creators.
