DAO
Decentralized governance roadmap
The DAO will extend SYMBI governance beyond institutional partners. Tokens represent voice, not profit. No sale is required to use SYMBI; participation is earned through receipts, research, and stewardship.

Token posture
• Governance-only token. No dividends, buybacks, redemption, or access rights.
• Quality staking: contributors lock receipts and attestations to underwrite integrity.
• DAO treasury funds research grants, audits, and open-source tooling.
• Global participation with compliance-first guardrails; adheres to token policy licensing.
