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.

  • 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.
