What House of Stake Can Decide

This page describes the scope of House of Stake. In other words: what House of Stake is supposed to govern, and what falls outside that scope for now.

1. Economic governance (of NEAR protocol and other NEAR products)

   • Treasury management
   • Programs to support economic sustainability
   • Economic parameters
     • Inflation
     • Fee switch for AI products, intents, etc.

2. Technical governance

   • Incremental, narrow scope to begin
   • e.g., MPC signers for chain signatures
   • Determine which NEPs should be escalated to HoS
     • Anything that can’t be governed on Github

3. Build Legitimacy

   • Maximize the amount of NEAR/veNEAR in the system
   • Participation by broad subset of the community
     • Decentralise Screening Committee
   • Put in place policy: mission vision values, constitution, charters, policy, co-creation cycles

4. Grow Engagement and Ecosystem Health

   • In the DAO, in governance, in the protocol, in NEAR ecosystem more broadly
   • Decentralized stakeholders participate in governance
