What is DAO Governance?
DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) governance at Glasshaus puts the power of property management decisions directly in the hands of token holders. Instead of relying solely on traditional property management companies, our community collectively makes important decisions about the properties they invest in.
One token equals one vote. The more you invest, the more influence you have.
All proposals and voting results are recorded on the blockchain for complete transparency.
Decisions reflect the collective wisdom and interests of all property investors.
How Voting Works
The voting process at Glasshaus is designed to be simple, transparent, and fair. Here's how it works:
Proposal Submission
Token holders or property managers submit proposals for consideration.
Discussion Period
Community members discuss the proposal, ask questions, and share insights (typically 3-7 days).
Voting Period
Token holders cast their votes during the designated voting window (typically 5-7 days).
Execution
If approved, the proposal is implemented by the property management team or through smart contracts.
Types of Decisions
As a token holder, you can vote on various aspects of property management:
- Major renovations and upgrades
