Design / Cost Model
⚠Non-binding Advisory·All DAO resolutions are advisory. Final authority rests with the board of Dcosmos PTE. LTD. (Whitepaper §5.5)
⭐ Cost Minimization Model
How real DAO communities operate — discussion / promotion / docs off-chain, on-chain only the minimal decision trail
One Proposal's Journey — Where Do Costs Attach?
99% happens off-chain (free SNS / forums). On-chain retains only summary + hash + execution — 2 or 3 records.
| Step | Where | On-chain record | Mainnet cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0. Outreach · public discussion | X · Telegram · Discord | None | 0 |
| 1. Notice · discussion | Discourse forum (5+ days) | None | 0 |
| 2. Detailed document | Foundation Notion · PDF · IPFS | Doc hash 32B | 0 |
| 3. Snapshot vote | Snapshot (IPFS signature) | None (gasless) | 0 |
| 4. Board ratification | Board (off-chain deliberation) | None | 0 |
| 5. Final execution | Solana | One execution TX (Ratify only) | 1 TX |
On-chain vote payload = minimal
Proposals carry a summary and links instead of long-form text. Rationale lives in off-chain documents.
title: "PWR-013 Phase4 §5.12"
summary: "Option A (×1.5) / B (×2.0) — pick one"
doc_hash: 0x9f3a…c132 bytes
links: [ X, Notion, Discourse ]
choices: [A, B, Abstain]
Putting full text on-chain makes account rent spike per KB → replacing it with hash + link cuts cost by hundreds of times.

What Stays On-chain (Only)
NFT MintNode Transfer (with checks)Final Execution TX (Ratify)PWR Burn (SPL · Solscan = transparency)
Everything else (proposal body, voting, discussion, promotion, reward computation, KYC review) is off-chain. No on-chain accounting layer (BurnLedger) or perpetual keeper redundancy — Solscan burn records are the transparency.
