# Governance

PromptHub is governed by **PromptDAO**, a community-led organization empowered to manage:

* PromptVault rule changes (e.g. licensing logic)
* Treasury disbursements and incentive models
* Certification programs for verified prompts and agents
* Parameter tuning for ranking weights and royalties

Governance mechanics:

* **1 $PHUB = 1 vote** (snapshot-based or on-chain)
* Delegation support and reputation-weighted scoring
* Multi-sig and council-based override for emergency controls

#### 🗳️ Enhanced Governance Framework

To ensure fair representation across the ecosystem, PromptHub implements a balanced governance approach:

1. **Voting Power Adjustments**:
   * **Locked Team Tokens**: Team tokens in the lock period have 0.5x voting power to prevent undue influence
   * **Creator Boost**: Active creators with proven track records receive a 1.2x voting multiplier
   * **Validator Authority**: Verified validators receive 1.1x voting weight for security parameters
   * **Long-term Staking**: Users who lock tokens for 12+ months receive up to 1.5x voting weight
2. **Specialized Committees**:
   * **Technical Committee**: Focuses on protocol upgrades and security measures
   * **Economic Committee**: Oversees fee structures and monetary parameters
   * **Content Committee**: Guides content standards and curation policies
   * Each committee includes elected community members, subject matter experts, and core team representatives
3. **Proposal Lifecycle**:
   * Discussion phase (minimum 7 days)
   * Formal proposal with implementation specification
   * Community review period (minimum 3 days)
   * Voting period (5 days)
   * Time-locked execution (2 days grace period after approval)
4. **Quadratic Voting for Resource Allocation**:
   * Treasury disbursements use quadratic voting to prevent whale dominance
   * Allows more equitable funding distribution based on collective preference strength
   * Implemented with ZK-proofs to prevent vote manipulation through wallet splitting
