Governance & DAO

Lyraverse's dual-layer governance system for protocol and collection management.

Governance Architecture

Two-Layer Governance Model

Lyraverse introduces governance at two distinct levels:

1. Protocol-Level Governance: Lyraverse DAO, powered by $LYRA

2. Collection-Level Governance: DAOs embedded in individual NFT collections

This creates a governance structure that empowers both the overall protocol and the communities that live within it.

Protocol-Level Governance (Lyraverse DAO)

$LYRA Holder Governance

At the protocol level, holders of $LYRA participate in decision-making regarding:

• Marketplace Fees: Adjusting base fee percentages and structures

• Treasury Allocation: Deciding on marketing campaigns and partnerships

• Feature Development: Prioritizing new marketplace tools and integrations

• Cross-Ecosystem Expansion: Voting on multi-chain deployments

Governance Mechanics

Voting Power Calculation

Voting Power = Staked $LYRA × Duration Multiplier × Participation Bonus

Where:
- Staked $LYRA = Locked tokens in staking contract
- Duration Multiplier = Bonus for longer staking periods
- Participation Bonus = Additional weight for active voters

Proposal System

• Proposal Creation: Minimum stake threshold (e.g., 10,000 $LYRA)

• Discussion Period: Community feedback and refinement (7 days)

• Voting Period: Active voting on approved proposals (7 days)

• Execution Delay: Timelock for critical changes (2 days)

Voting Types

• Binary Voting: Yes/No decisions for straightforward proposals

• Multi-Choice: Multiple options for complex decisions

• Quadratic Voting: Weighted voting for controversial topics

Collection-Level Governance (DAO Collections)

Revolutionary Innovation

Unique Lyraverse Feature: Every NFT collection can become its own DAO.

How It Works

• NFT = Governance Token: Each NFT represents voting rights

• Equal Voting: 1 NFT = 1 vote (democratic governance)

• Proposal Creation: Any holder can submit proposals

• Treasury Control: Community-managed collection funds

Governance Use Cases

Treasury Management

• Revenue Allocation: How to spend primary sale proceeds

• Marketing Funds: Community-approved promotional campaigns

• Development Grants: Funding for collection expansions

• Charitable Giving: Community-directed donations

Roadmap Decisions

• Feature Prioritization: Which utilities to develop first

• Partnership Approvals: External collaborations and integrations

• Brand Direction: Logo, merchandise, and aesthetic changes

• Expansion Plans: New collection drops and series

Operational Rules

• Minting Policies: Future minting rules and restrictions

• Royalty Adjustments: Creator compensation modifications

• Community Events: Organized holder activities and rewards

Technical Implementation

Smart Contract Architecture

contract LyraverseDAO {
    struct Proposal {
        address proposer;
        string description;
        uint256 startTime;
        uint256 endTime;
        uint256 forVotes;
        uint256 againstVotes;
        uint256 abstainVotes;
        bool executed;
        bytes executionData;
    }

    struct CollectionDAO {
        address collectionAddress;
        mapping(address => uint256) votingPower;
        mapping(bytes32 => Proposal) proposals;
        uint256 treasuryBalance;
        uint256 proposalThreshold;
    }

    mapping(address => CollectionDAO) public collectionDAOs;
}
