After months of research, conversations, and experimentation, one thing became clear:

DAOs haven’t found their final form yet.

Most governance systems today don’t work as intended. Voter participation is low. Token holders are disengaged. Why?

Because governance feels boring — and the incentives are weak or nonexistent.

But here’s the flip side:

We’ve also seen things that do work. Models that empower communities. Mechanisms that drive real participation. Structures that scale.

That’s why at Spark, we believe in one core principle:

Iterate, iterate, iterate — until we find what works.

The future of governance won’t come from ideology.

It will come from experimentation, feedback, and evolution.

⚙️ Governance at Spark

Let’s be honest — we’re not starting from a place of full decentralization. And that’s by design.

At launch, the Spark team holds 10% of the total token supply, giving it enough voting power to guide the early stages of the protocol. Only 50% of the supply is in circulation at genesis — the other half is reserved for what truly matters:

Rewarding those who contribute, those who build, those who help Spark grow.

Over time, this remaining 50% will be distributed via airdrop / grant to active contributors and ecosystem participants — progressively shifting Spark from a team-driven project to a fully community-governed protocol.

This isn’t decentralization by branding.

It’s progressive decentralization through action.

A dedicated governance portal will be available soon for proposals and voting.

🛠️ Governance Within Spark-Powered Projects

In the early stages, governance within Spark-funded DAOs will focus heavily on builders.

Our goal is simple:

Empower developers to bring bold ideas to life — and give communities the tools to fund them transparently.

Here’s how it works in Phase 1:

• Developers can connect their profile (via GitHub) and submit funding proposals to build new features or improve the project.
• DAO participants will vote on whether or not these developers should receive funding.
• All decisions are on-chain, with clear incentives for those who actively engage in governance.

This system is designed to start lean — with builders at the center — then expand over time to include a broader range of contributors (designers, marketers, strategists, etc.).
