4.5 DAO Governance

Your Community Voice Drives the Future

At the heart of the Movement Economy lies a simple yet transformative principle: those who move should shape the future. With $SWEAT, you’re gaining a voice in a decentralized ecosystem where your contributions matter.

The SWEAT DAO brings this principle to life as one of the most active mobile-native governance platforms in Web3, empowering you to co-create the Movement Economy alongside millions of others. Built on a one-person, one-vote model, the DAO ensures that power is distributed equally. Independent of token wealth, giving every user, from casual walkers to dedicated runners, an equal say in the ecosystem’s direction.

Last year, 355,000 users came together to vote on a key proposal to adjust minting rules, proving that this is a community in action. Through the SWEAT DAO, you can influence critical decisions, such as:

• Adjusting minting windows to balance rewards and scarcity.

• Approving strategic token burns to boost $SWEAT’s value.

• Shaping new feature rollouts, like gamified challenges in PlayHub.

• Recommending ecosystem upgrades and revenue allocation models to ensure fairness and growth.

This inclusive and transparent governance system makes you a co-architect of the Movement Economy, with the power to influence everything from tokenomics to product development to partnership strategies. As DAO participation grows, the scope of your control will expand to include:

• Partner integrations that bring new opportunities to the ecosystem.

• Staking yield structures to optimize rewards for users like you.

• Treasury allocation to fund initiatives that matter most to the community.

• Marketplace mechanics to enhance how you spend and trade $SWEAT.

This is what true decentralization looks like: not just smart contracts, but smart communities making smart decisions. The “Control” action of $SWEAT (Section 4.3) is a foundation, ensuring that your steps steer its future. As the Movement Economy scales to new heights (Chapter 5), your voice will play a pivotal role in shaping its growth, making $SWEAT a token that moves with your steps and evolves with your vision.
