Kaia Governance: Taking the First Step to Decentralization
The Kaia Governance Council is a council that has the right to decide various governance matters. To secure its reliability, the early members of the Governance Council have been limited to trusted organizations. This was chosen for the sake of efficiency in the platform's development and stabilization stage. Kaia reached the stage by joining hands with 31 Governance Council Members and a seamless operation of the Kaia Mainnet.
Kaia believes that Kaia governance should lead Kaia’s growth aligned with the transition of our world. One of the key transitions in the world is coming from the growth of the metaverse. The technological advancements are ushering in a more metaversified world. In particular, we are witnessing the growth of the influence of non-traditional entities such as Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) and builders. As an organization operating on smart contracts without a centralized structure, DAOs will be a core entity in the metaverse. Builders will have more influence by contributing to the operation and growth of the metaverse.
We are reorganizing our governance structure to better accommodate to the changing world. In addition to traditional enterprises, Kaia is opening up the Membership of the Kaia Governance Council to the non-traditional entities mentioned above.
By introducing a stake-based governance model and eliminating the Gini Coefficient from Kaia’s voting mechanism, Kaia enables governance participants who can gather more support from Kaia Communities to shape Kaia in line with their preference. Entities who can make a proper decision in a Metaversified world will have more influence in the Kaia GC. We believe DAOs and builders will lead the scene in the future.
To further enhance participation and representation within the Kaia Governance Council, we are introducing "Public Delegation." This function allows any token holder to delegate their voting power to other voters who will express opinions on their behalf. This mechanism is akin to representative democracy, where elected representatives vote on behalf of their constituents. Users maintain the flexibility to delegate or revoke their delegation at any time, ensuring their voice is heard.
When the level of metaversification crosses the critical threshold, Kaia governance will be fully decentralized with various types of entities. Ultimately, Kaia will evolve into a DAO of DAOs and a platform for DAOs to communicate the voices of Kaia Communities through on-chain mechanisms.
