DAO Governance

Veto Guard Mechanism

When bond escalation reaches the maximum threshold, the DAO steps in as the final arbiter. Token holders can veto an incorrect resolution to protect market integrity.

2% threshold — 20M HORUS required to trigger a veto vote

48-hour voting period — Community deliberates and votes

Veto vs Counter-veto

Veto

Overturns the current resolution. Requires 2% of total supply to initiate.

Counter-veto

Upholds the current resolution. Community votes to confirm the original outcome.
