Subject to change. This roadmap is a public draft. Its structure, timelines, and terms may be revised as the governance process moves forward.
HSuite DUNA · Transitional Governance Roadmap
Version 0.1Public draft
Governance built for accountability.
The HSuite DUNA provides the legal and institutional structure for community coordination, education, ecosystem participation, Treasury stewardship, and the transition toward broader governance.
Handover, sunset, narrowing, or documented extension.
One ecosystem · Three distinct layers
The entity, the process, and the technology.
The DUNA does not replace the HSuite protocol or its technical infrastructure. Administrative work performed by the DUNA does not make the Board the permanent technical controller of the protocol.
Legal + institutional
HSuite DUNA
Community coordination, education, ecosystem programs, Treasury stewardship, and governance administration.
Participation + decisions
Governance model
Rules and processes for proposals, participation, voting, delegation, execution, and accountability.
Network + products
HSuite protocol
The technical network, infrastructure, products, and services that enable builders and applications.
The DUNA is the entity. The governance model defines how that entity is governed.
Six governance principles
Authority must be observable.
No unilateral control
Distributed decisions
No individual Board member may approve or execute a Board decision alone.
Documented authority
Clear roles
Roles, approvals, delegations, and material decisions must be recorded.
Distributed approval
Multi-member threshold
Board decisions require the established multi-member threshold.
Conflict transparency
Independent approval
Actual, potential, and perceived conflicts must be disclosed and managed.
Treasury stewardship
Mission aligned
Resources must support HSuite's nonprofit and ecosystem purposes.
Progressive participation
Transition by design
Board authority should narrow as the governance model becomes operational.
Transitional Board
Nine members. Five approvals.
The Board moves HSuite from informal coordination toward a documented, auditable, and participatory governance structure. It is a stewardship and transition body, not the permanent final governance authority of the ecosystem.
Decision rule5 of 9
Applies to ordinary Board decisions and Treasury authorizations, unless a governing document sets a stricter requirement. No signature, transaction, or technical action replaces the underlying approval.
Transitional mandate
Maintain an authority map
Oversee mission-aligned Treasury stewardship
Establish membership and voting rules
Define proposal, approval, execution, and reporting processes
Maintain conflict-of-interest procedures
Support community, education, and ecosystem initiatives
Prepare the handover to the broader governance model
Every material decision is recorded with
01The matter considered
02The date of the decision
03The approvals received
04Declared conflicts or abstentions
05Resulting action and evidence
Conflict-of-interest framework
Disclose. Record. Recuse. Approve independently.
01
Disclose
The member discloses the conflict before deliberation or approval.
02
Record
The disclosure is recorded in the Decision Log.
03
Inform
The conflicted member may provide factual information when requested.
04
Recuse
The conflicted member does not vote on the affected matter.
05
Approve
Five affirmative votes must come from non-conflicted members.
If five non-conflicted approvals are not available, the matter is deferred or submitted to an independent review process.
Applies especially to
Related-party payments, grants, compensation, commercial arrangements, Treasury transactions, and decisions involving entities connected to a Board member.
Treasury stewardship
Resources serve the mission.
The Treasury is held and administered for mission-aligned purposes. It is not the personal property of Board members, token holders, contributors, or service providers.
Build
Protocol & ecosystem development
Operate
Infrastructure & operational continuity
Educate
Community education & engagement
Enable
Grants & builder programs
Secure
Security, audits & professional services
Partner
Mission-consistent partnerships & initiatives
Treasury activity follows documented approvals, role separation, appropriate security controls, and an auditable record from decision to execution.
Membership and voting participation
Holding a token is not the same as being a member.
Token holder
Ownership
A person or entity that holds HSUITE tokens.
Member
Validated status
A participant who meets the eligibility and validation requirements set by the DUNA's governing rules.
Voting participant
Decision eligibility
An eligible member authorized to vote on a specific decision under the applicable voting and record-date rules.
Holding HSUITE tokens does not, by itself, create legal membership, voting rights, profit rights, dividend rights, or a claim on Treasury assets. The membership framework will define eligibility, validation, participation rights, record dates, dispute procedures, and the relationship between token-based participation and legal membership.
Transparency and accountability
Every material action follows a decision trail.
The Board maintains a Decision Log for material governance and Treasury decisions. Public summaries keep decisions understandable while protecting keys, security procedures, confidential agreements, and personal data.
01
Proposal
The matter and requested authority are described.
02
Review
Scope, risks, and mission alignment are considered.
03
Conflicts
Relevant interests and abstentions are disclosed.
04
Approval
The applicable threshold is met and recorded.
05
Execution
The approved action is carried out.
06
Evidence
Resulting evidence completes the record.
Limits on Board authority
What the Transitional Board must not do.
Become a permanent unelected control layer.
Allow a single member to control decisions or Treasury actions.
Override the governance model after authority has been transferred.
Create undocumented economic rights or claims against the Treasury.
Use resources for non-mission-aligned or undisclosed purposes.
Represent HSuite governance as fully decentralized before the relevant processes are operational.
Board authority should become narrower as membership, proposals, voting, and accountable execution move into the broader governance model.
Transition roadmap
From stewardship to participatory governance.
Target · Mar 31, 2027
Phase 1 · Current
Governance foundation
Formally confirm the nine-member Board
Record responsibilities and conflict disclosures
Maintain the authority map and Decision Log
Operate the 5-of-9 approval process
Phase 2
Participation framework
Publish membership and voting eligibility rules
Establish participant validation
Define proposal, discussion, voting, and delegation processes
Implement record-date or snapshot procedures where applicable
Phase 3
Operational governance
Activate the initial governance workflow
Connect approvals to execution and evidence
Publish community-facing governance reporting
Review Board authority and delegations
Phase 4 · by Mar 31, 2027
Handover or sunset
A transition assessment recommends one of:
Sunset the Transitional Board
Narrow its remaining responsibilities
Transfer responsibilities to the operational governance model
Propose a limited extension with a defined scope, justification, and end date
Any extension should be approved through a documented governance process.
The objective is not decentralization by declaration. It is accountable governance demonstrated through rules, participation, and verifiable operations.
Important information. This roadmap is provided for community education and governance transparency. It describes HSuite's current transitional governance direction and does not replace the DUNA's governing documents. It is not legal, tax, financial, or investment advice. It does not create any right to profit distributions, dividends, investment returns, membership, voting participation, or Treasury assets. Membership and voting participation remain subject to the applicable governing rules and validation processes.
