Get started with $OPEN: What, Why, How + Governance

Welcome to the $OPEN multiverse.

$OPEN is an equal-weight index tracking leading stablecoin-networks advancing transparency, composability, and user-led governance.

Here are some things you can do to get started:

Want to get involved with $OPEN Governance?

Since launching on the Reserve protocol, $OPEN, a decentralized token folio (DTF), follows a proven two-step governance model used by other DTFs.

:police_car_light: Understanding this RFC-to-IP process makes everything faster and smoother. A full explainer is here: DTF Governance Workflow

$OPEN is governed by vote-locked $SQUILL (vlSQUILL-OPEN), empowering holders to propose, vote, and earn a share of fees. Learn more about SQUILL.

Since some IP governance parameters vary by DTF, the table below summarizes the framework for OPEN you should be aware of.

Type Notes Voting Delay Voting Period Execution Delay Proposal Threshold Voting Quorum
Basket Governance Changes to the basket composition of $OPEN 1d 1d 1d 1% 10%
Non Basket Governance Fees, voting parameters, and anything other than basket changes for $OPEN 2d 3d 2d 1% 10%
vlDAO Governance Settings of the vlDAO including vote-lock unstaking duration and approving revenue tokens 1d 1d 1d 1% 10%

By following the standardized governance flow, starting from RFCs, transitioning into IPs, and finalizing with on-chain execution; $OPEN DAO can streamline the governance process and make it easier for both new and existing community members to participate. This uniform structure helps to reduce barriers to entry, fosters clear communication, and increases the likelihood of meeting quorum and achieving consensus within the community.
