1. Purpose & Scope
This Playbook provides the strategic, technical, and governance blueprint for transitioning the CHLOM Global DAO from the semi-managed governance model of Phase 4 to full decentralization in Phase 5. It outlines the protocols, safeguards, and operational autonomy mechanisms that will enable the DAO to operate without centralized oversight while maintaining compliance, security, and performance.
Goals:
- Achieve irreversible decentralization with on-chain governance as the sole decision-maker.
- Fully automate treasury, proposal, and compliance processes.
- Ensure operational resilience and continuity without centralized intervention.
- Maintain DAO agility for evolving market, regulatory, and technological conditions.
2. Governance Transition Plan
- Authority Handover
- On-Chain Proposal Execution
- Voting & Delegation Enhancements
3. Smart Contract & Protocol Autonomy
- Treasury Automation — All allocations, staking, yield strategies, and disbursements handled via programmable smart contracts.
- Compliance Automation — Integrated AI/ML models enforce jurisdictional rules and KYC/AML thresholds.
- Proposal Enforcement — Autonomous contract calls to implement changes.
- Upgrade Paths — Governance-controlled upgrade proxies with transparent delay periods.
4. Security & Risk Mitigation
- On-Chain Security Oracles — Automated vulnerability scans and exploit detection.
- AI-Driven Threat Response — ML models trigger contract-level mitigations.
- Insurance Pools — On-chain coverage for treasury losses due to exploits.
5. Community Operations
- Incentive Loops — Dynamic reward adjustments for contributors based on participation metrics.
- Knowledge Base DAOization — All documentation and onboarding flows managed via decentralized storage and governance edits.
- Working Groups — Fully autonomous, budget-controlled, and elected by token holders.
6. Performance Monitoring in Decentralized State
- Real-time KPI dashboards visible to all members.
- Automated alerts for governance inactivity, treasury anomalies, or critical contract events.
- On-chain performance scoring impacting proposal prioritization.
7. Finality of Decentralization
- Legal & Compliance Transition — DAO registered under a compliant jurisdictional wrapper until such time that decentralized legal recognition is globally available.
- No Central Recovery Keys — All admin keys destroyed or burned.
- Community Consensus Enforcement — Disputes resolved solely via DAO-approved mechanisms.
Summary: This Phase 5 Full Decentralization Playbook defines the irreversible transition of CHLOM Global DAO into a self-sustaining, autonomous governance and operations entity, ensuring resilience, compliance, and community sovereignty without reliance on centralized entities.
