# Phase 5, Milestone 1: DAO Launch

> Deploy and activate on-chain governance

**Status**: ✅ Complete
**Priority**: Medium
**Crates**: `synor-governance`, `contracts/governance`

---

## Overview

Launch the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) with proposal creation, voting mechanisms, and treasury management.

---

## Tasks

### Task 1.1: Governance Contract Deployment
- [x] Deploy governance contract to testnet
- [x] Initialize with genesis parameters
- [x] Set initial voting thresholds
- [x] Configure timelock delays
- [x] Transfer treasury funds

**Files:**
- `contracts/governance/src/lib.rs`

**Contract Parameters:**
| Parameter | Value |
|-----------|-------|
| Proposal Threshold | 100,000 SYNOR |
| Quorum | 4% of supply |
| Voting Period | 7 days |
| Timelock Delay | 2 days |
| Grace Period | 3 days |

### Task 1.2: Proposal Creation
- [x] Proposal struct definition
- [x] Threshold validation
- [x] Description/title storage
- [x] Action encoding (calls)
- [x] State machine transitions

**Files:**
- `crates/synor-governance/src/proposal.rs`

**Proposal States:**
```
Pending → Active → Succeeded → Queued → Executed
                 ↘ Defeated
                 ↘ Expired
```

### Task 1.3: Voting Mechanism
- [x] Vote delegation support
- [x] Snapshot-based voting power
- [x] For/Against/Abstain options
- [x] Vote weight calculation
- [x] Double-vote prevention

**Files:**
- `crates/synor-governance/src/voting.rs`

**Voting Formula:**
```
voting_power = balance_at_snapshot + delegated_votes
```

### Task 1.4: Treasury Initialization
- [x] Treasury contract deployment
- [x] Multi-sig setup (initial)
- [x] Transfer control to DAO
- [x] Budget allocation system
- [x] Spending proposals

**Files:**
- `crates/synor-governance/src/treasury.rs`

**Treasury Pools:**
| Pool | Allocation | Purpose |
|------|------------|---------|
| Development | 40% | Core development funding |
| Community | 30% | Grants and bounties |
| Marketing | 20% | Promotion and growth |
| Reserve | 10% | Emergency fund |

---

## Validation

### Validation Commands

```bash
# Run governance tests
cargo test -p synor-governance

# Test contract
cd contracts/governance && cargo test

# CLI governance commands
./target/release/synor gov info
./target/release/synor gov list
```

### Validation Agents

| Agent | Purpose |
|-------|---------|
| `code-reviewer` | Review governance logic |
| `type-design-analyzer` | Validate proposal types |

### Governance Test Suite

```rust
// Proposal lifecycle test
#[test]
fn test_proposal_lifecycle() {
    let mut gov = Governance::new(params);
    let proposer = Account::new(200_000); // Above threshold

    let proposal_id = gov.propose(
        proposer,
        "Increase block size",
        vec![Action::SetParameter("max_block_size", 2_000_000)]
    )?;

    assert_eq!(gov.state(proposal_id), ProposalState::Pending);

    // Advance to voting period
    gov.advance_time(1.days());
    assert_eq!(gov.state(proposal_id), ProposalState::Active);

    // Vote
    gov.cast_vote(voter1, proposal_id, VoteType::For)?;

    // Advance past voting period
    gov.advance_time(7.days());
    assert_eq!(gov.state(proposal_id), ProposalState::Succeeded);
}

// Treasury spending test
#[test]
fn test_treasury_spending() {
    let mut treasury = Treasury::new();
    treasury.deposit(Pool::Development, 1_000_000);

    let proposal = SpendingProposal {
        pool: Pool::Development,
        amount: 100_000,
        recipient: recipient_addr,
        reason: "Q1 Developer Grant"
    };

    treasury.queue_spending(proposal, timelock)?;
    treasury.advance_time(2.days());
    treasury.execute_spending(proposal.id)?;

    assert_eq!(treasury.balance(Pool::Development), 900_000);
}
```

### Security Checks

- [ ] Proposal threshold prevents spam
- [ ] Snapshot prevents vote manipulation
- [ ] Timelock allows response to attacks
- [ ] Treasury has spending limits
- [ ] Multi-sig for emergency actions

### Compliance

- [ ] Voting is transparent and auditable
- [ ] All proposals publicly visible
- [ ] Treasury movements logged
- [ ] Token holder rights protected

---

## Acceptance Criteria

1. Governance contract deployed
2. Proposals can be created and voted on
3. Treasury accepts and disburses funds
4. CLI commands functional
5. All governance tests pass
