CONSTITUTION DAO

A Decentralized Initiative for Art, Technology & Collective Memory

We are building a decentralized public initiative where every action and token contributes to preserving cultural and digital heritage. Our mission is to align real-world cultural activation with Web3 values, collective governance, and long-term participation — not financial gain.

1. Foundations

1.1 Name

The name of this organization is Global Park DAO (the “DAO”).

1.2 Mission and Purpose

Global Park DAO is a decentralized cultural institution established to coordinate the governance, development, and stewardship of the Global Park ecosystem — a programmable, blockchain-anchored cultural space at the intersection of art, technology, and memory.

The DAO exists to:

  • Enable open and transparent participation in shared infrastructure governance
  • Preserve and activate cultural heritage through digital and physical initiatives
  • Allocate resources toward public benefit and community-driven contributions — not private profit or financial speculation

1.3 Core Principles (Immutable)

The following foundational principles are non-negotiable:

  • Decentralization – No individual or legal entity may unilaterally control the DAO or its assets
  • Transparency – All governance and treasury actions must be verifiable on-chain
  • Public Good – The DAO is not profit-seeking. All resources are used for cultural and communal development
  • Non-Custodial Design – Participants maintain full control of their wallets and assets; the DAO does not act as a custodian
  • Open Access – Anyone may propose, vote, build, and contribute within the framework of this Constitution

2. Participation

2.1 Eligibility

Participation in the DAO is:

  • Open
  • Pseudonymous
  • Based on holding the GPARK governance token

Any Ethereum address holding unlocked GPARK tokens is recognized as a DAO participant.

2.2 Rights

All participants holding GPARK have the right to:

  • Submit proposals (subject to token thresholds)
  • Vote on DAO decisions via Snapshot or future governance systems
  • Join working groups or contribute independently
  • Request funding or launch cultural initiatives aligned with the DAO’s mission

2.3 Responsibilities

Participants are expected to:

  • Act in alignment with the principles of the DAO
  • Disclose any potential conflicts of interest
  • Respect the outcomes of valid governance processes

2.4 Identity

Participation is pseudonymous by default, tied to:

  • Ethereum wallet addresses
  • Optionally ENS names

No KYC or personal identification is required to:

  • Own tokens
  • Vote
  • Submit proposals

If specific participants (e.g., grant recipients or institutional representatives) are involved in regulatory engagements, limited identity verification may be required under local laws. This is voluntary, minimal, and does not impact general DAO participation.

3. DAO Governance

3.1 Phased Governance Model

Global Park DAO operates through a two-phase governance framework:

Phase I — Genesis Governance

This initial phase remains active until any of the following occur:

  • Six (6) months have passed since official DAO launch
  • A predefined percentage of GPARK tokens have been unlocked
  • The DAO Council votes to activate the next phase

During Genesis Phase:

  • Execution authority is held by the DAO Council (5 signers) via a 3-of-5 Gnosis Safe
  • Snapshot votes are advisory and non-binding
  • Proposal submission threshold: 5,000+ unlocked GPARK
  • Voting eligibility threshold: 100+ unlocked GPARK
  • All treasury actions are executed by the DAO Council through multisig, in alignment with community signals

Phase II — Autonomous DAO

Upon transition to the Autonomous Phase:

  • Snapshot votes become binding and executed on-chain or via delegated authority
  • Quorum and approval thresholds apply (e.g., 3% quorum, 51% approval ratio — subject to DAO vote)
  • The DAO Council acts as an executor only and holds no voting or decision-making power
  • Governance processes may be amended through formal DAO proposals and ratified by vote

3.2 Proposals and Voting Rules

  • Proposals must follow the DAO’s published governance framework and formatting guidelines
  • Eligibility to submit proposals requires holding 5,000+ unlocked GPARK
  • Eligibility to vote requires holding 100+ unlocked GPARK
  • Proposals must clearly state:
    • Quorum requirements
    • Approval thresholds
    • Voting duration
  • All logic for voting types, token thresholds, and outcomes is maintained in the DAO’s documentation

4. DAO Treasury

4.1 Structure

The DAO Treasury consists of collective on-chain assets governed exclusively for the benefit of the Global Park ecosystem and its cultural mission.

During the Genesis Phase, the treasury is:

  • Secured and operated via a Gnosis Safe multisignature wallet

The treasury may include:

  • GPARK tokens allocated for ecosystem growth
  • Stablecoins or external contributions
  • NFTs and cultural artifacts associated with DAO memory and participation
  • Any other assets approved by DAO vote in line with its public mission

4.2 Control

  • Genesis Phase: Treasury transactions must be signed by at least 3 of 5 DAO Council members

  • Autonomous Phase: All transactions are executed based on binding Snapshot votes The DAO Council functions only as an executor with no discretionary power

❗ No individual or entity may unilaterally move, control, or withdraw DAO funds under any circumstance

4.3 Transparency

  • All treasury wallet addresses must be public and verifiable on-chain
  • A real-time treasury dashboard must be maintained and accessible via the DAO’s official ENS or website
