END DAO
Press listen to hear this page narrated in the selected language.
The Ethereum Node Development DAO (END DAO) governs the long-term maturation of the BITY Nodes Protocol through controlled decentralization, constitutional supply discipline, and multi-decade stewardship.
Controlled Maturation
END DAO follows a controlled maturation into decentralization model. The protocol is designed to protect early-stage integrity, prevent reckless governance capture, and gradually diffuse control over time.
Founders retain early-stage influence and blocking capability during the protocol's formative years, with that influence intentionally diluting through emissions, and expanded participation.
Constitutional Supply Structure
Total Supply Cap: 1,000,000,000 BITS
- 20% — Founders & Team
- 10% — Market Allocation
- 70% — Node Reward Allocation
The supply cap cannot be increased by governance, and founder allocation cannot be expanded by governance.
Revenue Model
END DAO is designed around service-based protocol revenue.
- Brains-as-a-Service (BaaS)
- Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
- Nodes-as-a-Service (NaaS)
Year 1: 50% Founders / 50% Treasury Reserve
Post DAO Activation: 70% Node Fund / 30% Founders
DAO Activation
DAO Activation Date: TBD.
Governance is designed to activate after the protocol's early formation period, allowing the network to mature before wider governance participation expands.
Emissions
Reward Pool: 17,500,000 BITS a year
Eligibility may be weighted by continuity integrity, Proof of Care participation, and governance-approved weighting within constitutional limits.
Node Reward Allocation: 17,500,000 BITS yearly emission
Emission Structure: 40-year linear emission at 17,500,000 BITS per year
Governance Thresholds
- Tier 1 — Operational Decisions: 75%
- Tier 2 — Treasury & Economic Decisions: 70%
- Tier 3 — Constitutional Decisions: 80%
END DAO uses a pure floating quorum model based on voting-enabled circulating supply at the time of vote.
Long-Term Objective
END DAO is engineered for multi-decade sustainability, structural supply discipline, transparent stewardship, and intergenerational continuity.
The protocol is designed to mature into decentralization — not simulate it prematurely.
