DAO Governance Explanation
Participate in Shaping the Future of Crypto Reviews
AI16z DAO operates on the principle of decentralized governance, where token holders collectively make decisions about platform development, review methodology, and resource allocation.
Governance Structure
| Governance Level | Minimum Token Requirement | Voting Power | Responsibilities |
|---|---|---|---|
| Observer | 0 AI16z | Read-only access | Can access reviews, but cannot participate in governance |
| Contributor | 100 AI16z | 1x | Can submit feedback on reviews and propose minor changes |
| Reviewer | 1,000 AI16z | 2x | Can participate in project reviews and suggest methodology improvements |
| Council Member | 10,000 AI16z | 3x | Can propose major protocol changes and participate in treasury management |
| Guardian | 50,000 AI16z | 4x | Can initiate emergency protocols and represent the DAO in partnerships |
Governance Process
- Proposal Submission: Any member with sufficient tokens can submit proposals through our on-chain governance portal.
- Discussion Period: All proposals undergo a 3-day discussion period where community members can debate merits and suggest amendments.
- Voting Phase: Qualified proposals move to a 5-day voting period where token holders cast their votes proportional to their holdings.
- Implementation: Approved proposals with more than 67% support are implemented by our development team or through automated smart contracts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does AI16z DAO ensure review objectivity?
Our multi-layer review process combines AI analysis with diverse community inputs, with all methodology and individual ratings transparently recorded on-chain. No single entity can manipulate the outcome. The combination of algorithmic assessment and distributed human expertise creates a balanced evaluation system that minimizes bias.
Can projects pay for reviews?
Absolutely not. We have a strict no-payment policy for reviews. Projects can request reviews, but cannot influence the process through financial means. This policy is fundamental to our mission of providing truly unbiased evaluations in the crypto space.
How are reviewers compensated?
Reviewers earn AI16z tokens based on their contribution quality, peer validation, and long-term accuracy of their assessments. Our reputation system tracks reviewer performance over time, rewarding those whose analyses prove most accurate. This creates an incentive structure that promotes thorough research and honest evaluation.
What makes your AI system different from others?
Our AI has been trained specifically on blockchain projects, incorporating technical, economic, and social factors unique to the crypto space. It continuously improves through feedback loops with human experts. Unlike general-purpose AI solutions, our system understands the nuances of tokenomics, consensus mechanisms, and blockchain architecture.
How can I become a reviewer?
Hold the minimum required tokens, complete our reviewer certification program, and demonstrate expertise in at least one review category. The certification process ensures all reviewers understand our methodology and standards. We welcome experts from various backgrounds, including developers, economists, and industry analysts.
Do you review all types of crypto projects?
We focus on legitimate projects with working products or substantial development. We do not review obvious scams or projects with minimal viability. Our review committee evaluates project applications to determine which ones meet our threshold for comprehensive review.
How often are reviews updated?
Major projects receive quarterly updates, while smaller projects are updated semi-annually or upon significant developments. We also conduct emergency reviews when major events occur that might substantially impact a project's rating. Our continuous monitoring system flags potential review triggers.
Can I dispute a review?
Yes, our governance system includes a dispute resolution mechanism where community members can challenge reviews with supporting evidence. Disputes go through a structured process of evidence submission, expert panel assessment, and community voting. This ensures our reviews remain accountable and can be refined based on new information.
