What are Citizens?
Citizens are members of the Citizens’ House, which comprises one half of the Collective’s governance system. The Citizens’ House operates a reputation-based governance system (one member = one vote), and is primarily responsible for the allocation of retroactive public goods funding.
Who are Citizens?
Citizens represent individual human stakeholders of the Collective: builders, users, and community members who are aligned with the project’s values and are interested in the long-term benefit of the Collective.
What do Citizens Do?
The Citizenship process is evolving! Currently, Citizens are responsible for:
- Allocating Retroactive Public Goods Funding
- Vetoing Protocol Upgrades
How are Citizens’ Selected?
Citizenship has been distributed via a web-of-trust mechanism to date. In the future, Citizenship criteria will be defined by the Citizens themselves in a process managed by governance. You can join the conversation on Future Citizenship Selection Criteria here.
