The Foundation exists to serve the WOO token and its holders, and governance exists to ensure accountability and alignment over time. Its mandate is to create and maintain the products and infrastructure that enhance the token’s utility and strengthen its long-term brand value.

The WOO Foundation operates under a standard DAO framework that upholds regulatory compliance while retaining direct accountability to WOO token holders.

• A non-profit entity

• Owns 100% of all core intellectual property for WOO and Starchild

• Owns 100% of the operating company behind WOO and Starchild

• Is ownerless with no shareholders/equity holders 

By constitutional mandate, the Foundation is bound to act in accordance with decisions approved by WOO token holders and to execute those outcomes on their behalf.

Details of what the WOO Foundation owns include the following:

• WOOFi
  Spot, Earn, Stake, and Pro. This includes both the protocol, the IP, and the codebase.

• Starchild
  The Core AI technology, the codebase, and supporting brand and product IP.

This structure ensures that critical protocol assets are controlled at the Foundation level rather than by individuals or external entities.

The WOO opco is fully owned by the Foundation. That means there are no conflicts of interest between equity holders and tokenholders, as the Foundation 1) has no shareholders (ie, no concept of equity) and 2) is constitutionally required to follow the votes of token holders rather than any particular individual or company.

Governance is designed to be open at the idea stage, structured during discussion, and formal at execution. Anyone may propose ideas related to governance, tokenomics, protocol direction, or ecosystem policy.

Ideas typically emerge through:

• Public discussion on X

• Community discussion in Discord

If an idea gains meaningful traction, it may be elevated into a dedicated governance discussion thread in Discord. These threads are used to:

• Clarify a proposal

• Surface objections and alternative views

• Assess whether there is sufficient alignment to proceed

If the discussion demonstrates sufficient consensus, a formal proposal may be submitted for voting. The voting is conducted via Snapshot.

Proposals may be published by whitelisted governance publishers, which include a limited set of team representatives. This ensures proposals are clearly scoped and correctly configured.

Voting power is based on XP, which reflects long-term engagement with the WOO ecosystem.

XP is accrued through:

• Staking WOO via WOO Stake

• Onchain activities, including boosters, multipliers, and challenges 

This model prioritizes committed participation over short-term token ownership. WOO held on centralized exchanges cannot participate directly in governance voting.

Because the Foundation owns all core IP and the operating entity, accountability over how the protocol and related IP is governed ultimately flows to WOO token holders.

Governance results guide tokenomics changes, strategic decision-making, and long-term protocol development. The Foundation is responsible for executing these decisions in alignment with the outcomes of governance.
