Phased Voting Structure

The governance model follows a three-phase voting process, aligning with the protocol's gradual decentralization strategy:

Tranche 1: Early Governance Framework​

  • Objective: Establish foundational governance with early USST token holders.
  • Key Decisions:
    • Selection of strategic partners for protocol expansion.
    • Initial governance structure formation, ensuring fair representation.

Tranche 2: Community-Driven Protocol Management​

  • Objective: Shift governance control to community-led decision-making post-USST launch.
  • Key Decisions:
    • Fee adjustments for stablecoin minting, staking, and redemptions.
    • Protocol performance monitoring through community-defined KPIs.
    • Smart contract upgrades and operational oversight.

Tranche 3: Full Decentralization & Treasury Control​

  • Objective: Transfer governance power to USST holders for long-term strategic management.
  • Key Decisions:
    • Expansion of asset vaults and investment strategies.
    • Protocol sustainability initiatives, including reward distribution.

Each tranche empowers the community to progressively take control of the protocol's development and financial governance.
