Governance

Decentralized Trust, Governed by Stakeholders

DuoScore is governed by its community to ensure transparency, long-term sustainability, and responsible risk management. Governance aligns users, developers, and capital providers around a shared objective: building a resilient credit infrastructure for EVM.
Through decentralized governance, key protocol parameters evolve with the ecosystem—guided by data, incentives, and collective decision-making.

What Governance Controls

Risk & Credit Parameters

Governance participants shape how trust translates into capital.

• Loan-to-Value (LTV) thresholds
• Interest rate curves & risk premiums
• Credit limits and score weightings
• Slashing and default recovery rules

These parameters ensure capital efficiency without compromising system safety.

Protocol Upgrades & Expansion

DuoScore evolves through transparent proposals and community approval.

• AI model updates and scoring logic adjustments
• DuoLend and DuoPay protocol upgrades
• New chain, dApp, and payment integrations
• Feature rollouts and ecosystem expansions

Treasury & Risk Reserve

The Treasury is governed collectively to protect the ecosystem.

• Emergency liquidity support
• Bad debt coverage and risk events
• Strategic partnerships and acquisitions
• Long-term ecosystem investments

Treasury funds can only be unlocked through successful governance votes.

$DUO Governance Utility

The $DUO token represents both ownership and responsibility within the ecosystem.

• Vote on governance proposals
• Stake $DUO to signal long-term alignment
• Participate in risk management decisions
• Shape the future of Web3 credit on EVM

Higher participation strengthens protocol stability and trust.

Governance Process

1. Proposal Creation.
   Any eligible stakeholder can submit a proposal covering risk parameters, upgrades, or treasury usage.
2. Community Discussion
   Proposals are reviewed openly to evaluate impact, risk, and alignment with protocol goals.
3. On-Chain Voting
   $DUO holders vote transparently, with outcomes enforced directly on-chain.
4. Execution
   Approved proposals are executed via smart contracts, ensuring trustless implementation.

Principles of DuoScore Governance

• Transparency over opacity
• Data-driven risk decisions
• Long-term incentives over short-term gains
• Community ownership of financial infrastructure

Governance is not a feature—it is the foundation of trust.

Participate in Governance

DuoScore governance will progressively decentralize as the ecosystem matures, transitioning control from the core team to the community.
