Governance & Voting System

OrangeBit adopts a decentralized governance framework powered by the $ORANGE token, ensuring that the protocol evolves through transparent, community-driven decisions rather than centralized control.

This model enables long-term alignment between users, liquidity providers, and the protocol’s core contributors.


1. Governance Overview

The $ORANGE Governance System allows all token holders to propose, discuss, and vote on key decisions affecting the platform’s evolution.

Through an on-chain DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) structure, the community collectively manages essential protocol parameters, treasury funds, and ecosystem upgrades.

Key governance objectives:

  • Ensure transparent and verifiable decision-making;

  • Empower community ownership of protocol direction;

  • Maintain sustainability and balance between growth and risk.


2. Voting Power

Governance power within OrangeBit is determined by staked $ORANGE tokens.

The more tokens a user stakes, the greater their voting weight and influence on decisions.

Governance Role
Token Requirement
Voting Weight
Rights

Community Member

≥ 1 $ORANGE

1x

Participate in discussions and signal votes

Active Staker

≥ 10,000 $ORANGE

10x

Submit governance proposals and vote

Delegate / DAO Council Member

≥ 100,000 $ORANGE (or delegated equivalent)

50x

Represent community votes and propose parameter changes

This tiered design ensures a balance between accessibility for small holders and responsibility for major stakeholders.

🗳 Delegated Governance: Users can delegate their voting rights to trusted representatives without transferring ownership of their tokens, promoting more efficient governance participation.


3. Proposal Lifecycle

The governance process follows a clear, structured flow to ensure transparency and prevent manipulation:

Phase
Description
Duration

Discussion

Proposal ideas are posted in community forums and Discord channels for open feedback.

3–7 days

Formal Submission

Verified proposers submit proposals on-chain with a minimum staking requirement.

Voting Period

Token holders cast votes directly or via delegates.

5–10 days

Execution

Passed proposals are queued and executed automatically via smart contract timelock.

24–72 hours

Only proposals that meet quorum and majority thresholds are executed. Failed or malicious proposals are rejected automatically.


4. Governance Scopes

Governance covers all major areas of protocol control, including:

  • Protocol Parameters:

    • Trading fee ratios

    • Liquidation thresholds

    • Margin and leverage configurations

  • Treasury Management:

    • Allocation of ecosystem funds

    • Grant issuance and marketing budget

    • Buyback and staking pool adjustments

  • Feature Upgrades & Integrations:

    • New product modules (Perpetuals, Earn, Bridge)

    • Layer-2 integrations or multichain expansions

  • Emergency Governance:

    • Security patch proposals

    • Oracle update approvals


5. DAO Treasury Management

The OrangeBit DAO Treasury is a multi-signature, smart contract-governed vault funded by:

  • A portion of protocol fees;

  • Unclaimed staking rewards;

  • Buyback and redistribution reserves.

Funds can only be moved through approved governance proposals.

This ensures full transparency and community oversight of all resource allocations.

A quarterly treasury report will be published, detailing:

  • DAO expenditures and grants;

  • Buyback events and burn stats;

  • Reserve balances and upcoming proposals.


6. Governance Incentives

To encourage participation, governance voters and delegates receive small staking or reputation rewards for active involvement.

Examples:

  • ✅ Proposal creators earn bonus XP or $ORANGE;

  • ✅ Voters receive proportional rewards from the Governance Pool;

  • ✅ Top delegates gain increased visibility and community trust.

This mechanism transforms governance from a passive right into an active contribution system that rewards engagement.


7. Future Evolution

As OrangeBit grows, governance will gradually evolve toward full DAO autonomy, with minimal intervention from the core team.

The ultimate goal is a self-sustaining governance ecosystem where all major upgrades, budget decisions, and parameter changes are executed through transparent, on-chain voting.

⚖️ Vision:

A fully community-driven protocol governed by users, for users — ensuring OrangeBit remains decentralized, adaptive, and equitable.
