GOVERNANCE MODEL // STAGE 0 · FOUNDER CONTROLLED

Governance model · DAO plan

Until voting launches, the founder makes the decisions (stage 0); voting is “Planned”. Voting rights are planned for YLDX holders — under rules to be published together with the governance contracts. AI prepares proposals — people decide.

Who is in control right now

DeFiGuru is a product of the YLDX ecosystem. Until voting launches, the final say rests with the founder — a deliberate boundary for the growth stage, not a technical limitation. Each autonomy step actually passed hands over control by fact, not by promise. Autonomy ladder →

AI PREPARES PROPOSALS

Analyses data, identifies risks and drafts proposals for people to decide on

VOTING WILL DEFINE THE RULES

By plan, YLDX holders vote on proposals and define protocol parameters

THE BLOCKCHAIN KEEPS THE PROOF

Every executed operation has a verifiable on-chain record

Whose words these are: this list is DeFiGuru's plan, not live rights. Voting rules become binding only in deployed governance contracts; until then the final say rests with the founder.

YLDX is access and a vote: not equity, not a share in a company and not a promise of income. Its future value may be zero. Buyback and fee distribution are protocol treasury parameters that voting will control once it launches; they are not a promise of benefit to the holder.

Proposal lifecycle (plan)

By plan, every significant action passes the full cycle: from an AI proposal to an on-chain report

Proposals and voting

Not connected

The governance contracts (Governor and Timelock) are not deployed: there are no proposals, no votes and deliberately no “for / against” buttons — no endpoint, no button. Once voting launches, this block will list proposals with their source and update time.

Voting rights and their weight will be defined by the governance contracts once deployed. No staking of a DeFiGuru-issued token is planned: the access-and-vote token is YLDX. YLDX token →

Timelock (plan)

Significant operations will get a mandatory delay between approval and execution — time to notice a mistake before it becomes a transaction.

Emergency controls (plan)

Emergency actions are permitted only to limit damage and require a public report. The rules the operator cannot break already today are in the Constitution. Transparency →
