6. Governance Structure
In the context of the rapid expansion of global decentralized computing networks and AI computing infrastructure, cAIToken recognizes that the core of computing network governance lies not only in system efficiency but also in achieving a "transparent, collaborative, and incentivized" multi-party participation model. Therefore, cAI governance integrates traditional technical team-led mechanisms with Web3 decentralized autonomy, forming a transitional, hierarchical governance system that ensures early network stability while laying the foundation for a future autonomous network co-managed by nodes and users.

In the context of the rapid expansion of global decentralized computing networks and AI computing infrastructure, cAIToken recognizes that the core of computing network governance lies not only in system efficiency but also in achieving a "transparent, collaborative, and incentivized" multi-party participation model. Therefore, cAI governance integrates traditional technical team-led mechanisms with Web3 decentralized autonomy, forming a transitional, hierarchical governance system that ensures early network stability while laying the foundation for a future autonomous network co-managed by nodes and users.
6.1 Initial Governance Structure
During the early construction phase, cAIToken's network was led by the founding core team for technical decision-making and system management. The initial governance organization includes:
Executive Committee: Core developers, computing scheduling architects, AI system leads; responsible for network technology roadmap, core protocol modifications, and reward model adjustments.
Operations Committee: Manages daily computing tasks, including node access verification, task scheduling, market order maintenance, and anomaly handling.
Security and Compliance Group: Oversees computing fraud detection, smart contract audit interfaces, node reputation system maintenance, and supervises all critical parameter changes.
This initial governance ensures that the cAI network can quickly respond to technical requirements, deploy core functions steadily, and establish a secure, compliant foundational environment.
6.2 cAI Token-Driven Governance Evolution
As the computing ecosystem grows, cAIToken will gradually introduce a user participation mechanism weighted by cAI, forming a collaborative decentralized model co-governed by nodes and users. Governance design at this stage includes:
Proposal Mechanism: Users or nodes holding/staking cAI can propose governance items related to network operations, such as adjusting task reward parameters, optimizing node tier systems, or setting cross-chain bridge strategies.
Voting System: The platform deploys on-chain voting modules via governance contracts, weighting votes by token holdings, staking duration, and computing contribution scores, reflecting real participation and community consensus.
Community Node Council: Once governance participation reaches a threshold, a council of node representatives, developers, and ecosystem contributors will serve as a communication bridge for long-term policy formulation.
These mechanisms progressively shift governance power from the technical team to participants, ensuring network direction reflects collective will of computing contributors and users.
6.3 DAO Introduction and Future Governance
In the ultimate governance vision, cAIToken will establish the "Compute Network DAO (Compute DAO)," transitioning from team-managed to fully decentralized autonomous network operation. The DAO centers on on-chain governance contracts, driven by cAI token voting, with network-level governance executed automatically via smart contracts.
Future DAO framework includes:
DAO Treasury: Funded by computing market revenue, training task fees, and incentive recycling, used for network upgrades, ecosystem grants, and community incentives.
Governance Arbitration Mechanism: On-chain arbitration tools handle voting disputes, governance attacks, and malicious proposals, ensuring fairness and security.
Compliant DAO Interface: To support global deployment, Compute DAO will include compliance interfaces mapping DAO decisions to centralized execution layers, maintaining operational legality across jurisdictions.
This multi-dimensional governance framework enables a smooth transition from centralized efficient operation to decentralized community co-governance, ultimately establishing a transparent, participatory, and trusted global computing network governance model.
