Dynamo Finance is governed by its community of DYNAMO token holders. The current model combines off-chain discussion with on-chain signaling, with a clear roadmap toward full decentralization.
Current Governance Model
Dynamo uses a two-stage governance process:
- Community Forum (Discourse) — all proposals begin as a public discussion thread. The community debates, refines, and reaches rough consensus before any vote is held.
- Snapshot Voting — once a proposal has been discussed and refined, it moves to a formal vote on Snapshot. Votes are weighted by DYNAMO token holdings (or delegated voting power).
This lightweight model keeps governance accessible while ensuring meaningful participation before decisions are made.
What Decisions Are In Scope
Dynamo platform governance covers:
| Category | Examples |
|---|
| Fee changes | Protocol fee percentages, vault performance/management fees |
| Dynamo vault changes | What vaults Dynamo runs, and what markets they allocate to |
| New feature approvals | Launching new vault strategies, integrating new collateral types |
| Treasury spending | Grants, partnerships, operational expenses, ecosystem incentives |
| Protocol upgrades | UI changes, smart contract upgrades, new market deployments |
| Morpho DAO votes | How the DAO’s MORPHO tokens are cast in Morpho protocol votes |
What Is NOT In Scope
- Morpho protocol-level parameters (these are governed by Morpho DAO; Dynamo participates as a SubDAO voter)
- Individual non-Dynamo vault risk decisions that are handled by curators
- Smart contract emergency actions, which may require multisig intervention for speed
Governance Parameters
| Parameter | Value |
|---|
| Voting platform | Snapshot |
| Discussion platform | Discourse community forum |
| Quorum | TBD (set by governance) |
| Voting period | 7 days |
| Proposal threshold | TBD |
Specific quorum and threshold values will be set and published via the first governance proposals after token launch.
Getting Involved
- Read & discuss: Join the community forum to follow active proposals and share feedback.
- Vote: Hold or receive delegated DYNAMO tokens and vote on Snapshot.
- Propose: Any token holder above the proposal threshold can submit a governance proposal.
