Phased Governance Rollout

The governance framework is deployed in three tranches, each designed to progressively distribute decision-making authority and incentivizeF community engagement.
Tranche 1: Early Strategic Partnerships
- The initial phase focuses on building an engaged governance community before the official launch of the USST stable asset.
- USST token holders participate in shaping key partnerships and governance structures.
- The foundation establishes the DAO's operational guidelines, ensuring a transparent governance framework.
Tranche 2: Community-Led Protocol Management
- Governance transitions to active community management once USST is launched.
- Token holders vote on protocol fees, smart contract upgrades, and performance metrics for sustainability.
- Operational oversight is handed to USST holders, ensuring the protocol remains adaptive to market needs.
Tranche 3: Full Decentralization & Expansion
The final governance phase grants full control to the DAO, allowing token holders to:
- Stake USST for governance rewards and protocol incentives.
- Decide on new vaults, asset classes, and yield strategies.
- Oversee long-term protocol sustainability and treasury allocations.
