v0.2 (Governance Only)
HolyCode Investor Manifesto
Governance, voting rules, and strategic decision framework
This manifesto is governance-only: it defines how HolyCode votes, how investor influence is structured, and how strategic goals can be changed through DAO mechanisms.
Publication Date
March 5, 2026
Status
Active DAO Governance Policy
Core Governance Principles
- • HolyCode remains a community and philosophy: strategic goals are not immutable and may be changed through transparent DAO voting.
- • Investors and members vote in one governance model with explicit quorum and threshold rules.
- • Any mission, treasury-allocation, token-policy, or protocol change must pass a formal proposal lifecycle.
- • Execution is subject to mandatory reporting and audit trails in DAO public channels.
Voting Classes
Baseline decision parameters in the DAO
| Decision Scope | Quorum | Approval Threshold | Timelock |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operational (process and sprint priorities) | 5% | 50% + 1 vote | 24h |
| Budget (treasury spending within limits) | 10% | 60% | 48h |
| Protocol/Product (architecture and token rules) | 15% | 66% | 72h |
| Mission/Charter change (strategic-goal updates) | 25% | 75% | 7 days |
Voting Process
- • Draft: proposer submits objective, KPI, and treasury impact.
- • Review: HolyChat discussion and risk validation by council roles.
- • Vote: on-chain/off-chain vote under proposal-class rules.
- • Execute: after timelock, delivery runs via HolyBuild/HolyAgent.
- • Report: final KPI and spending report published in DAO feeds.
Initial Goal Mutability
The current initial goal (HolyAgent-first ecosystem rollout) is a starting state. DAO and investors can update it through Mission/Charter proposals with elevated quorum and threshold.
Investor Rights and Influence
- • Investors vote under vesting/unlock constraints and anti-concentration guardrails.
- • High-impact decisions (mission, emission, treasury policy) require elevated governance thresholds.
- • Every accepted proposal must include transparent execution and KPI tracking.
- • Conversion of DAO investor instruments into public tokens is defined in the White Paper.
Public Note
This manifesto covers governance policy only. Economic flows, role monetization, payment mechanics, and fiat-to-crypto conversion are documented on a separate Business Plan page.
