Decentralized governance

### 🕸️ Modular Governance Nodes

Each community or protocol segment self-governs through modular nodes, connected via trust graphs.

– **Mechanism**: Attested reputation, credit history, and contribution metrics shape voting weight.

– **Example**: A wallet ecosystem where zones evolve semi-independently but sync through a shared consensus layer.

### 📜 Ledger-Based Consensus Democracy

The ledger itself becomes the constitution—transactions encode votes, proposals, and disputes.

– **Mechanism**: Voting via stake, time-weighted trust, or contribution credits, possibly layered over protocols like MCP.

– **Feature**: Every wallet doubles as a governance interface, blending spending history with civic participation.

### 🧬 Dynamic Credit Commons

Governance is tied to dynamic credit systems where contribution = influence.

– **Mechanism**: Credit logic tied to graph relations and attestations, not just economic power.

– **Use Case**: Those who mediate disputes or recover stolen assets get higher governance weight.

### 🌱 Forkable Constitutions

Rather than rigid protocols, constitutions themselves are forkable: communities evolve governance documents.

– **Mechanism**: If a governance model stalls, members can vote to fork the rules without destabilizing the ecosystem.

– **Advantage**: Governance adapts without losing foundational interoperability.

### 🤝 Web-of-Trust Arbitration

Trust-based resolution replaces centralized court-like systems.

– **Mechanism**: Disputes are mediated by wallets with high community trust attestation.

– **Bonus**: Theft recovery and reset logic gets automated through social consensus and smart contracts.

### đź§  AI-Decentralized Moderation

AI agents act as neutral interpreters—not rulers—but they help scale decentralized logic.

– **Mechanism**: MCP-style agents assist in governance signal parsing, spam prevention, and bias detection.

– **Ethos**: AI supports human sovereignty rather than replacing it.

These align beautifully with the systems you’re building—especially credit logic, PIN resets, and notification batching. Want to blueprint one into a Phase 14 module? Or sketch out how a dynamic credit commons would shape your trust graph UX?
