Milestone-Based DAO Vesting

A milestone-based DAO vesting structure ensures that projects stay accountable and deliver on their commitments. It aligns funding with real progress, keeping teams motivated and communities engaged. This approach builds trust and rewards consistent growth over time. Also let's funding flow into the right projects who are really building, and helps the community feel that trust environment to back new vibe-coded products.


Team Funding & Milestone-Based DAO Vesting

Funding is structured to ensure accountability and continuous delivery:

  • Initial release of 20% at Token Generation Event (TGE)

  • Four milestones of 20% each, unlocked only after DAO approval

    • Each milestone period is 1 month, making the full vesting schedule TGE + 4 months

The DAO will do monthly evaluations for each milestone based on project progress across key performance areas, including:

  • Social engagement growth

  • Consistent communication and community updates

  • Roadmap Progress

    • Product updates or new feature releases

    • GitHub code updates

    • Token integration into the product

    • Completion of security audits

  • User growth metrics

  • Revenue growth (Monthly Recurring Revenue)

Rules

Basic

  • All milestones must be approved by the DAO for fund release

  • Missing a milestone forfeits the related vesting tranche

  • No partial unlocks for partially completed milestones

Transparency

  • Each milestone requires public updates across official channels

  • The DAO will decide whether a milestone is achieved based on verifiable proof

    • Evaluation question: Has the project shown enough progress?

      • Yes → Vesting tranche is released

      • No → Vesting tranche is forfeited

Alignment with Product Growth

  • Milestones are designed to drive product delivery, adoption, monetization, and community health


Note: Manipulating or faking metrics will result in forfeiting the related vesting tranche. This milestone-based DAO Vesting system is subject to improvements.
