Governance (DAO)

🧭 what is the trendsx dao? the trendsx dao is the collective intelligence layer of the platform the mechanism through which users curate, evolve, and steer the global attention market it ensures that the system reflects what people actually care about, not what a centralized team decides every user holding or staking $trendx becomes part of the dao, with the ability to propose, vote, and influence the evolution of the attention economy “the crowd curates the crowd’s curiosity ” 🪙 why governance matters in a world where attention changes by the minute, governance must be dynamic, democratic, and data aware traditional platforms are centralized — one team decides what’s trending trendsx flips that power structure the people who bet on attention get to decide what attention is worth betting on the dao prevents centralized bias in topic selection stale or irrelevant trend listings manipulation by external actors and it promotes real time market responsiveness decentralized curation incentivized community participation ⚙️ governance structure overview layerroledescription $trendx token holders core voters propose, discuss, and vote on governance items stakers / high conviction users weighted voters earn additional voting power for long term staking dao council (optional) facilitators maintain proposal quality, prevent spam, and handle emergencies community contributors builders / marketers submit new trend ideas, campaigns, and research governance is open but weighted by conviction — the more you participate and stake, the stronger your voice 📋 governance actions action typedescription add trend propose a new keyword, topic, or category to list on the main dashboard delist trend vote to remove trends with low activity or engagement adjust parameters suggest changes to fees, leverage limits, or timeframes feature trends highlight specific trends for short term boosts or campaigns allocate treasury propose how the dao’s funds are used for development, marketing, or partnerships each action passes through a proposal → discussion → vote → execution pipeline 🧩 the trend lifecycle the dao manages the flow of topics in and out of the platform 1\ proposal any user can submit a proposal to list a new trend example “quantum computing,” “tiktok ban,” or “world war 3 ” proposal includes data snapshot (google trends proof) and rationale 2\ voting $trendx holders vote yes to add no to reject votes are weighted by $trendx holdings conviction score (accuracy + consistency metric) 3\ activation approved trends are added to the public list and enter the live betting pool 4\ lifecycle rotation if a trend’s volume falls below a minimum threshold → it’s flagged for delisting dao votes on removal or replacement “the market breathes — old trends fade, new ones rise ” 🧠 voting power calculation voting power isn’t just based on tokens — it’s based on conviction formula (conceptual) copy voting power = ($trendx held × holding duration weight) + conviction score factordescription $trendx held basic weight of ownership holding duration rewards long term holders conviction score adds influence for accurate, consistent predictors staking multiplier bonus for locked positions this hybrid model prevents whales from dominating and rewards accuracy + engagement equally 💰 treasury & rewards the dao treasury is funded by a small percentage of betting fees (in sol or $trendx) burned tokens redirected from inactive wallets partnerships and ecosystem collaborations treasury use cases ecosystem growth grants marketing and reward programs development bounties token buybacks or burns (via dao vote) treasury spending proposals must pass majority dao approval 🧩 incentives for participation activityreward submit a valid proposal $trendx reward vote on proposals staking yield boost accurate predictions conviction score bonus community moderation reputation rewards top voter leaderboard dao recognition & special access the dao turns participation into a game of influence , where every meaningful action adds weight to your voice 🔒 governance security model smart contract safeguards dao contracts include a delay system to prevent malicious or rushed executions emergency council (optional) temporary human oversight in early stages, replaced by full decentralization later multi sig treasury managed by trusted dao signers until governance stabilizes transparency dashboard every transaction and vote viewable on chain 🧭 governance roadmap phasedescription phase 1 – advisory dao limited proposal system; team oversight; early voting phase 2 – community dao token weighted voting and conviction scores active phase 3 – full autonomy dao manages trend lifecycle, treasury, and future feature proposals phase 4 – meta governance trendsx dao interacts with external daos for cross ecosystem attention markets 🪩 summary trendsx dao is not just a governance layer — it’s a living, breathing curation engine for the internet’s attention powered by $trendx and guided by conviction, it ensures that what’s traded on the platform is what truly matters to the world the people decide what the world is paying attention to — and they get rewarded for getting it right
