Governance
How NEUS is governed during the pilot phase through DAO launch.
Current Model
Maintainer-led: NEUS Network, Inc. guides development to deliver updates efficiently while maintaining protocol stability.
Decision scope: Protocol and development decisions by maintainers; smart‑contract changes gated by multisig + timelock.
Community input: Feedback and ideas are welcomed during the pilot via issues and discussions.
Mainnet Plan
DAO at mainnet: The NEUS DAO will be constituted to launch and govern the ecosystem utility token.
Scope: DAO controls protocol parameters and the DAO treasury (bootstrapped via multisig + timelock, transitioning to on‑chain voting).
Company role: NEUS Network, Inc. operates the Hub, hosted APIs/indexers, and infrastructure as a supporting service provider.
Timing: As quickly as feasible after the pilot; subject to audits, security, and applicable law.
Contract Safeguards
Multisig + timelock for sensitive actions
Emergency pause/circuit breakers
Authorized relayer allow‑list (add/rotate/remove)
Participation
What you get: Hub beta access, on‑chain recognition, structured feedback channels.
What it isn’t: No equity, no profit share, no current governance rights, no guaranteed token allocations.
Licensing
Core contracts: Business Source License 1.1 with automatic conversion to Apache 2.0 on Aug 1, 2028.
Earlier conversion: The DAO may consider earlier conversion via formal governance once established.
Transparency
Open source with published changelogs and independent audits before/after mainnet.
Treasury and governance records will be published at/after mainnet.
Legal Notes
Utility only: Any token is intended for use/governance in the ecosystem—not an investment.
No ownership or profits in NEUS Network, Inc. from participation.
Subject to change: Governance design and timelines may adjust for security, audits, and compliance.
Terms apply: Your use is subject to Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
