Why Governance Matters

SxMiner is not just a mining platform — it’s a decentralized infrastructure protocol. To maintain alignment with user interests, manage ecosystem funds, and ensure sustainability, governance must be collective, transparent, and binding.

Through the SxMinerDAO, all major protocol changes — including reward parameters, emissions schedules, sustainability policies, pool integrations, and treasury spending — are voted on by $SXMR holders.

DAO Mechanics and Proposal Flow

Proposal Lifecycle:

1. Idea Submission – Any $SXMR holder can propose an initiative via forum or on-chain form.

2. Discussion Phase – Community feedback is gathered over a defined period (e.g., 5–7 days).

3. Snapshot Vote – Formal vote using token-weighted governance.

4. Execution – If passed, changes are auto-executed via Solana-based governance contracts.

DAO proposals may include:

• New mining pool integrations

• Treasury allocations (grants, partnerships, carbon offsets)

• Emission rate adjustments

• Changes to staking mechanics

• Node admission criteria and hardware incentives

Governance Incentives and Delegation

To incentivize active participation:

• Voters may earn governance rewards in $SXMR

• Power users may delegate their votes to trusted operators or DAO guilds

• A reputation system may reward proposal authors who consistently deliver positive protocol outcomes

These mechanisms ensure governance is not only open — but effective.

DAO Treasury and Transparency

SxMiner maintains a DAO Treasury managed entirely on-chain. All inflows (e.g., fees, unused rewards) and outflows (e.g., grants, carbon offsets, ecosystem development) are transparently recorded and governed via smart contracts.

Regular financial reports, visual dashboards, and community audits ensure full accountability.
