QELT™ DAO Governance
Official governance framework for QELT™ - balancing decentralized protocol governance with institutional-grade stability and regulatory alignment for Real World Assets.
Purpose of Governance
The QELT™ DAO exists to govern protocol-level decisions across the QELT™ Layer-1 ecosystem while preserving institutional-grade stability, regulatory alignment, and asset integrity.
Unlike speculative or fully permissive DAOs, QELT™ governance is deliberately scoped. It governs how the network evolves, not how assets, reserves, or legal structures are controlled.
Designed For:
- •Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenisation
- •Institutional liquidity providers
- •Regulated financial counterparties
- •Sovereign and enterprise-grade use cases
Scope of DAO Authority
QELT™ token holders participate in governance over non-custodial, non-sovereign protocol domains only.
1. Protocol Upgrades
- • Layer-1 performance and scalability upgrades
- • Validator and consensus parameters
- • Oracle integration and data-ingestion standards
- • Network security enhancements
2. Ecosystem Parameters
- • Network fee structures and gas mechanics
- • Validator incentives and staking thresholds
- • Developer framework standards
- • Cross-chain and interoperability modules
3. Treasury & Incentive Policies
- • Allocation of protocol-level incentive pools
- • Developer grants and ecosystem funding
- • Community growth initiatives
- • Long-term network sustainability programs
4. Governance of Governance
- • Proposal submission thresholds
- • Voting periods and quorum requirements
- • DAO tooling and governance-module upgrades
- • Delegation and representation frameworks
Explicit Exclusions
DAO governance does not extend to:
- • Ownership, custody, or control of real-world assets
- • SPV management or asset-level decision making
- • Proof-of-Reserves certification or valuation
- • Reserve monetisation, collateral policy, or liquidity deployment
- • Regulated financial activities or compliance decisions
Important Legal Clarification
DAO governance does not constitute ownership, control, or decision-making authority over any real-world assets, reserves, SPVs, or regulated financial activities associated with the QELT™ ecosystem. All such matters remain governed by legal entities, boards, and regulated structures associated with QELT™ and QXMP Labs.
Dual-Layer Governance Architecture
QELT™ operates a dual-layer governance model designed to balance decentralisation with institutional and regulatory requirements.
Layer 1 – On-Chain DAO Governance
- • Token-holder voting
- • Transparent, immutable proposals
- • Smart-contract-enforced outcomes
- • Community and developer participation
Layer 2 – Institutional & Legal Governance
- • QELT LLC / QXMP Labs corporate governance
- • Treasury and risk committees
- • Compliance, audit, and regulatory oversight
- • Asset-level and reserve-level decision making
This separation is intentional and fundamental to the QELT™ architecture.
Voting Mechanics
Voting occurs on-chain via the QELT™ Governance Portal
Snapshot-based voting mechanisms are used to prevent manipulation
Quorum and supermajority thresholds apply to critical proposals
Advanced Governance Features

Proposals are discussed and reviewed by the community
Formal On-Chain Proposal Submission
Proposal is formally submitted to the blockchain
Defined Voting Window
Token holders cast their votes during the voting period
Smart-Contract Execution / Timelock
Approved proposals are executed or queued for implementation
Public Reporting & Audit Trail
All actions are transparently recorded on-chain
Governance Design Principles
QELT™ governance is designed to:
Enable decentralised participation without compromising legal certainty
Protect real-world assets through ring-fenced structures
Maintain regulatory compatibility across jurisdictions
Support long-term network resilience and scalability
Decentralisation within QELT™ is applied where it strengthens the system, not where it introduces legal, financial, or operational risk.
Summary
QELT™ DAO governs protocol evolution, not assets
Token holders shape network rules and technical direction
Real-world assets remain legally protected and independently governed
Governance is transparent, enforceable, and institutionally compatible
This framework enables QELT™ to function as a real-world-asset-native Layer-1 blockchain suitable for institutional, enterprise, and sovereign adoption.
