5.1. Summary of the Governance Framework

Open to edit Document

The SingularityNET Ambassador Governance Framework is a decentralized and community-driven approach to governance, decision-making, and resource allocation. It is designed to empower active and engaged contributors, foster diversity and inclusion, and prioritize consensus-based decision-making processes over traditional token-based voting systems.

Key components of the framework include:

1. Cellular-inspired design:

The governance framework consists of independent and self-sovereign workgroups and guilds, each focusing on a specific aspect of the SingularityNET ecosystem. This cellular approach enables efficient scaling, promotes collaboration, and ensures that decisions are made by those with the most relevant experience and expertise.

1. Separation of monetized tokens and governance:

By decoupling token ownership from governance decisions, the framework aims to avoid the influence of large token holders (whales) and promote genuine engagement from contributors.

1. Empowering engaged contributors:

The framework favors contributors who actively participate and contribute to the ecosystem, offering more influence to those who demonstrate consistent commitment and expertise.

1. Alternative decision-making processes:

The framework emphasizes the focus on consent & consensus-based decision-making processes, prioritizing community engagement and collaboration over token-based voting systems.

1. Emphasizing diversity and inclusion:

The governance framework aims to create an inclusive and diverse environment, allowing for a wide range of perspectives and expertise to be incorporated into the decision-making process.

1. Cycle-based native tokens:

Each workgroup or guild issues its own native tokens based on cycles, ensuring that tokens are only distributed to active contributors and preventing external influence from token purchases.

1. NFT-based contribution tracking:

Contributors hold NFTs that capture their engagement and contributions within the ecosystem. These NFTs evolve as contributors earn more tokens, providing a transparent and decentralized way to track participation and influence within the governance framework.

1. Monitoring and evaluation:

The framework incorporates regular monitoring and evaluation processes to ensure its ongoing effectiveness, adaptability, and alignment with the goals and values of the SingularityNET ecosystem.
