6.3 DAO Voting Process

The CoinCat DAO operates via an on-chain governance smart contract, with the following workflow:

1. Proposal Submission (Initiation)

   • Any Rank 10 user or CCAT staker with sufficient voting power (minimum threshold: 50,000 CCAT) can submit a proposal.

   • Proposals include topics such as:

     • Course upgrades or new module releases

     • Ecosystem partnerships or integrations

     • Treasury fund usage or buyback mechanisms

     • DAO grant programs or event budgets

2. Community Review (Discussion Period)

   • All proposals are published to the DAO dashboard for public review (5–7 days).

   • Members discuss feasibility, budget impact, and ecosystem benefit.

3. Voting Phase

   • Users stake CCAT tokens to vote: YES / NO / ABSTAIN.

   • Each CCAT = 1 voting unit; votes are time-weighted to prevent manipulation.

   • Minimum quorum = 10% of circulating CCAT supply.

4. Execution & Implementation

   • Once approved (≥60% YES votes), the smart contract automatically executes the proposal.

   • Funds, updates, or system parameters are adjusted transparently on-chain.

5. Reporting & Audit

   • DAO decisions are published in the “Governance Ledger” on BNB Chain.

   • Quarterly reports summarize DAO activity, participation rate, and executed outcomes.
