SYMBI governance tokens have no financial value, no expectation of profit, and grant no economic rights.Tokens are non-transferable and used solely for protocol governance voting. SYMBI Trust Protocol and Sonate Platform do not require tokens or DAO participation for use.
Optional community governance for protocol development decisions. Uses SYMBI Trust Protocol for contributor verification.
Understanding how SYMBI DAO fits into the broader ecosystem
Open-source W3C-compliant DID/VC infrastructure. The foundation layer that everything else builds on.
Commercial SaaS built on trust protocol. Enterprise AI trust infrastructure with Ledger, Guardrails, Roundtable.
Optional community governance layer. For contributors who want to participate in protocol development decisions.
The DAO is built on top of the trust protocol it governs - proving the protocol works in production
Each contributor receives a W3C-compliant DID (typically did:web or did:ethr). This serves as their verifiable identity in the DAO.
Contributions (code commits, documentation, code reviews, research) are attested via Verifiable Credentials. Each VC is cryptographically signed and proves contribution authenticity.
Trust scores are computed from verified contributions: code quality, peer reviews, documentation, community support. All calculations logged to cryptographic audit trail.
Non-transferable governance tokens (ERC-721 soulbound) are minted to contributor DIDs. Tokens grant voting rights proportional to trust score. Tokens cannot be sold or transferred.
All votes are DID-authenticated and logged to audit trail. Smart contracts enforce voting rules. Constitution Nodes provide algorithmic oversight.
By using SYMBI Trust Protocol for DAO governance, we demonstrate the protocol's production readiness while ensuring:
Non-transferable, governance-only tokens with no financial value
contract SymbiGovernanceToken is ERC721, Ownable {
mapping(address => bool) public verifiedContributors;
mapping(address => uint256) public trustScore;
mapping(address => bool) public revoked;
// Prevent transfers (soulbound)
function _beforeTokenTransfer(
address from,
address to,
uint256 _tokenId
) internal pure override {
require(
from == address(0) || to == address(0),
"Non-transferable token"
);
}
// Mint to verified contributor DID
function mintToContributor(
address contributorDID,
uint256 _trustScore
) external onlyOwner {
require(verifiedContributors[contributorDID], "Not verified");
trustScore[contributorDID] = _trustScore;
_mint(contributorDID, _tokenId);
}
// Revoke for violations
function revokeToken(address contributorDID) external onlyOwner {
revoked[contributorDID] = true;
}
}Australia-based foundation structure with governance-only token classification
IMPORTANT: SYMBI governance tokens have no financial value, no expectation of profit, and grant no economic rights. Tokens are non-transferable and used solely for protocol governance voting. SYMBI Trust Protocol and Sonate Platform do not require tokens or DAO participation for use. This is not an investment opportunity. Participation in DAO governance is entirely optional.
SYMBI DAO is for active contributors (developers, researchers, integrators) who want to participate in protocol governance. If you're building with or extending SYMBI Trust Protocol, governance participation may be for you.
LEGAL DISCLAIMER: SYMBI governance tokens have no financial value, no expectation of profit, and grant no economic rights. Tokens are non-transferable and used solely for protocol governance voting. SYMBI Trust Protocol and Sonate Platform do not require tokens or DAO participation for use. Participation is entirely optional and at your own discretion.
