Hybrid Governance Model

At the core of HyperSPAC3 is the concept of community-driven governance. The project will initially operate under a centralized governance model, where the core team makes strategic decisions. Over time, we will transition to a hybrid governance structure that incorporates more participation from the token holders. Eventually, HyperSPAC3 will become a fully decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), where token holders have the power to make all major decisions. This phased transition ensures the project can maintain agility during its early stages while laying the groundwork for a robust, decentralized governance framework.

Phased Approach to DAO Implementation

HyperSPAC3 will adopt a phased transition from a centralized model to a fully decentralized DAO. This approach ensures that the project maintains operational efficiency in its early stages while gradually empowering the community to take full control of governance.

1

Phase 1: Centralized Governance (0-12 months)

In the early stages of the project, governance will be managed by the core team. This phase is essential to set up the infrastructure, build relationships with strategic partners, and acquire initial assets. While the core team will make decisions, the community will still be encouraged to participate through feedback and discussions.

Key Features:

  • Core Team Decision-Making: The team will make all major decisions, including acquisitions and strategic direction.

  • Community Feedback: Token holders can provide feedback and suggestions, helping shape the future roadmap of the project.

2

Phase 2: Hybrid Governance (12-36 months)

In the second phase, community involvement in decision-making will be gradually introduced. Token holders will be able to vote on certain decisions such as:

  • Asset Acquisitions

  • Treasury Management

  • Revenue Distribution

During this phase, voting power will be based on the number of $SPAC3 tokens held, with certain decisions still managed by the core team. This model will help test the effectiveness of decentralized governance while allowing the team to retain control over key strategic aspects.

Key Features:

  • Token Holder Voting: Token holders will begin to vote on specific proposals.

  • Continued Team Oversight: The team will continue to manage acquisitions and treasury with oversight from the community.

  • Gradual Transition to Full Decentralization: As the platform matures, governance will become increasingly decentralized.

Phase 3: Full Decentralization (36+ months)

In the final phase, HyperSPAC3 will transition into a fully decentralized DAO. Token holders will have full control over all decisions, including acquisitions, treasury management, and revenue distribution. The core team will be one of many participants, and decisions will be made entirely through community proposals and votes.

Key Features:

  • DAO Governance: All major decisions will be made by the community through proposals and voting.

  • Smart Contract Execution: Once a proposal is passed, it will be automatically executed via smart contracts, ensuring transparency and efficiency.

  • No Centralized Control: The team will no longer have control over the project; the community will govern the platform entirely.

Governance Mechanisms

The governance framework of the HyperSPAC3 DAO includes clear mechanisms to ensure transparency, fairness, and protection against malicious activity.

  1. Proposal Submission Requirements:

    • Token holders must hold at least 5% of the total supply of $SPAC3 tokens to submit a proposal. This threshold ensures that only serious participants who have a meaningful stake in the project can initiate governance changes. The 5% requirement strikes a balance between preventing malicious proposals and ensuring broad participation from active token holders.

  2. Voting Requirements:

    • Token holders must possess at least 0.5% of the total supply of $SPAC3 tokens to participate in voting. This threshold ensures that voting is conducted by long-term holders and serious investors who are committed to the project’s success. By allowing more participation, the 0.5% requirement encourages community involvement while still maintaining the integrity of the voting process.

  3. Automated Execution:

    • Once a proposal is approved, smart contracts automatically execute the decision, reducing delays and minimizing the risk of human error or interference.

Rationale for Governance Thresholds

The governance thresholds of 5% for proposal submission and 0.5% for voting participation are designed to strike a balance between accessibility and security, ensuring the integrity of the decision-making process while still enabling a wide array of participants to engage in governance.

  • 5% for Proposal Submission: This threshold prevents frivolous or malicious proposals, ensuring that only those with a significant stake in the project can initiate governance changes. It encourages long-term commitment from participants who are genuinely invested in the platform’s success, while still allowing for serious and well-considered proposals from active community members.

  • 0.5% for Voting Participation: This voting requirement ensures that decisions are led by long-term holders and serious investors who are deeply committed to the success of the project. By setting the threshold at 0.5%, it allows more token holders to engage in the decision-making process, ensuring that voting power isn’t concentrated in the hands of a few, while still maintaining integrity and responsibility in governance.

Smart Contract Security

To mitigate the risks of potential vulnerabilities or exploits, HyperSPAC3 will utilize battle-tested decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts from the Solana ecosystem, backed by the Solana Foundation. These tools have already undergone rigorous security audits and have been tested within the Solana ecosystem, significantly reducing the risk of exploits.

The use of Solana-backed infrastructure ensures that HyperSPAC3 avoids the challenges of custom-built smart contracts, which can be vulnerable to exploits. By adopting these battle-tested dApps, we ensure that the project operates on secure, reliable, and well-supported technologies that have been proven in the industry.
