DAO Evolution Phases

A roadmap toward full decentralization, where protocol control progressively shifts from core contributors to the community.

Phase
Timeline
Key Features

Phase 1 β€” Coordinated Governance

Q2–Q3 2025

  • DAO governance is introduced with limited authority

  • Core team retains upgrade privileges

  • Community voting is experimental and advisory

  • Token holders influence non-critical proposals (e.g., branding, community grants)

Phase 2 β€” Progressive Decentralization

Q4 2025 - Q1-Q2 2026

  • On-chain governance controls smart contract upgrades

  • Treasury allocation is managed by token holder voting

  • Specialized SubDAOs emerge (e.g., marketing, risk management, Launchpad operations)

  • Critical decisions require full community consensus

Phase 3 β€” Full DAO Autonomy

Mid 2026+

  • All protocol decisions governed by token holders

  • AI-based delegate agents support proposal creation and voting analysis

  • DAO controls Launchpad listings, security audits, and AI system parameters

  • Emergency response protocols activated through DAO consensus

Vision: Liqui aims to become a truly DAO-native protocol - governed not by a centralized team, but by a combination of aligned token holders, transparent smart contracts, and intelligent, AI-assisted decision-making.
