9.0 Governance & Community
9.0 Governance & Community
Raven Rush is built not just as a game, but as a growing digital nation of racers. Our governance framework ensures that players, token holders, and contributors have a say in the future of the game — from tournament rules to ecosystem expansion.
9.1 DAO Model
Raven Rush will progressively transition into a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) that empowers players and stakeholders to help shape the ecosystem.
Structure:
Token-Gated Voting: $RAVEN token holders can vote on key proposals
Weighted Influence: Voting power can depend on stake duration, race XP, or governance participation
Proposal Categories: Game changes, economy tweaks, roadmap priorities, creator grants, and more
Quadratic Voting (Future): To prevent whales from dominating, quadratic voting may be used in major decisions
The DAO will be bootstrapped by the core team, but community ownership is the long-term goal.
9.2 Voting System
Voting occurs on a transparent, chain-verified portal, allowing all stakeholders to participate.
How It Works:
Proposal Creation: Any player can draft a proposal (subject to quorum rules or delegate endorsement)
Discussion Period: Proposals are discussed in Discord/Governance Forum
Voting Snapshot: Token snapshot is taken to prevent manipulation
On-Chain Execution: If a proposal passes, smart contracts can trigger automated outcomes (when applicable)
Examples of What Players Can Vote On:
Tournament prize pool formats
Car balancing and upgrades
New race track themes
Creator incentive budgets
Token burn or emission changes
9.3 Player Councils
In addition to the DAO, Player Councils offer a lightweight, agile layer of governance focused on feedback, balancing, and gameplay improvement.
Player Council Structure:
Role-Based Seats: Racers, creators, tournament winners, and community moderators
Seasonal Elections: Councils rotate every few months based on in-game performance and community votes
Feedback Power: Councils submit high-impact proposals, beta test new features, and represent segments of the community
Think of this as “democracy by the best racers + most active players.”
9.4 Moderation Framework
Maintaining a fair, competitive, and inclusive game environment requires clear rules, transparency, and enforcement.
Community Safety Systems:
Moderation Roles: Discord, in-game chat, and forums will be managed by both team and verified community mods
Strike System: Offenders get warnings, penalties, or bans depending on offense level
Transparency Reports: The DAO and team will release regular reports on bans, warnings, and enforcement stats
Appeal System: Players can dispute penalties through the governance portal
Code of Conduct:
No cheating, multi-account farming, or staking abuse
No hate speech, spam, or exploitation of bugs
Respect racers, creators, and the mod team
Governance turns Raven Rush from a product into a movement — where racers aren’t just players, but co-owners.
