The TON Foundation launched Society DAO, a governance model that seeks to increase decentralization across its ecosystem and involve community members in key decision-making on November 1.
According to the TON Foundation’s press release, Society DAO will allow trusted community members to participate in governance functions, allocating resources and setting strategies that align with the foundation’s goals of promoting competition and autonomy.
Decentralizing Community For Key Decision Making
The foundation wants to distribute control over resources and responsibilities more widely by empowering community members to make governance decisions.
Under the new DAO structure, Society DAO members will manage various ecosystem functions, such as core development, community operations, and payment integration, through decentralized working groups.
