🖨️Governance
BrewDEX DAO & Community Participation
BrewDEX is governed by its community through a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) structure. Governance ensures protocol upgrades, fee policies, emissions, and ecosystem expansion are collectively decided by BRE holders and long-term stakeholders.
We believe that decentralized financial infrastructure should be owned and operated by its users—not by centralized teams or corporations.
🧩 Governance Model
BrewDEX governance is structured around three pillars:
BRE Staking
The foundation of voting power and governance eligibility. The longer and larger you stake, the more influence you gain.
Brew Improvement Proposals (BIPs)
A transparent process for proposing, discussing, and executing protocol changes.
DAO Treasury
Managed via multisig, the treasury supports grants, audits, liquidity incentives, and ecosystem growth.
💎 Governance Utility of BRE
Staked BRE (sBRE) grants governance power. Voting weight is determined by:
🔒 Amount of BRE staked
⏳ Lock duration (longer locks = higher multiplier)
🧬 Bonus multiplier from referral and loyalty systems
Governance rights include:
Proposing and voting on protocol parameters (fees, rewards, emissions)
Whitelisting tokens, bridges, or farming pools
Allocating DAO treasury grants
Approving new plugins or external integrations
Voting is conducted through on-chain snapshot-based systems and audited smart contracts.
📜 Brew Improvement Proposals (BIPs)
What is a BIP?
A BIP (Brew Improvement Proposal) is a formal mechanism to suggest protocol changes, such as:
Modifying staking rewards
Launching on a new chain
Changing the referral program structure
Integrating a new cross-chain bridge
BIP Lifecycle
Discussion: Initiated in the Governance Forum or Discord
Drafting: Use the
BIP-x.mdtemplate for proposalsSnapshot Vote: Community votes via Snapshot
Execution: If passed, multisig signers or governance contracts implement the change
BIPs must pass with quorum thresholds and voting majority, as defined in the protocol parameters.
🏛 DAO Treasury
The DAO treasury is funded through:
Protocol fees (e.g., swap fee, unstake fee)
A share of token presale proceeds
BRE emissions and buyback mechanisms
Treasury funds are used for:
Ecosystem grants and hackathons
Audits and third-party code reviews
Liquidity bootstrapping or farming incentives
Strategic partnerships and protocol integrations
All treasury transactions are tracked and visible via Safe (Multisig) Dashboard.
🧠 Delegate Governance
Users who don’t wish to vote directly may delegate their voting power to trusted community members, contributors, or DAOs.
Delegates are visible on-chain, and their voting record is transparent via the governance dashboard.
