SyncGT Contract

 

Overview & Purpose

The SyncGT Contract is a governance-support smart contract used in Kambria DAOs to synchronize Governance Tokens (GT) with a DAO member’s economic stake and active participation.

Its purpose is to ensure that:

• Governance power reflects actual contribution and ownership
• GT distribution remains aligned with DAO rules over time
• Changes in LP ownership or participation are reflected transparently on-chain

Rather than assigning GT statically, the SyncGT contract enables periodic, rule-based updates to governance representation.

Governance Context

Within the Kambria DAOs governance model:

• GT (Governance Token) represents voting power
• LP tokens represent economic contribution
• Credits represent active participation in DAO activities

The SyncGT contract connects these layers by updating GT balances based on predefined governance rules, approved at the DAO level.

What the SyncGT Contract Does (Conceptual)

At a high level, the SyncGT contract:

• Calculates how many GTs a wallet should hold according to DAO rules
• Mints or burns GTs to bring actual balances in sync
• Executes updates only when permitted by DAO governance

The contract itself does not decide governance rules.
It only enforces rules that have already been defined and approved by the DAO.

Governance Model Reflected in SyncGT

A typical Kambria DAO governance model includes:

• Total GT supply cap: 1,000 GTs per DAO
  (not all minted at DAO creation)
• GT allocation categories (example model):
  • 40% for large LP contributors
    (e.g. investors holding ≥ 5% LP)
  • 40% for active DAO participants
    (based on Credits accumulated through DAO activities)
  • 20% reserved for DAO Organizer / Architect role (early-stage support)
• Quorum requirement:
  Governance actions require a defined percentage of GTs minted at that time (e.g. 70%)

The SyncGT contract ensures GT balances remain consistent with these rules as LP ownership or participation changes.

High-Level SyncGT Flow (DAO Perspective)

From a DAO governance perspective, the SyncGT process follows these steps:

1. DAO defines GT distribution rules (LP-based, Credit-based, etc.)
2. DAO approves the SyncGT contract as a permitted module
3. DAO Organizer prepares updated GT allocation data
4. SyncGT contract mints or burns GTs accordingly
5. Updated GT balances take effect in DAO governance

Roles in the SyncGT Process

DAO Organizer

The DAO Organizer is responsible for initiating synchronization based on DAO-approved rules.

Key responsibilities include:

• Preparing GT allocation data (based on LP ownership or Credits)
• Triggering the SyncGT process through the DAO interface
• Ensuring synchronization aligns with DAO governance decisions

The DAO Organizer does not arbitrarily assign GTs; all changes follow predefined DAO rules.

DAO Council & DAO Members

• DAO Council members use GTs to vote on proposals
• DAO members gain or lose GTs as their LP ownership or participation changes

DAO members:

• Do not trigger sync operations
• Do not manually adjust GT balances
• Can verify GT balances and voting power on-chain

 

Synchronization Dimensions

The SyncGT contract typically supports synchronization based on:

LP Ownership

• GT allocation proportional to LP held
• Thresholds may apply (e.g. minimum LP percentage)
• GT balances updated when LP ownership changes significantly

Participation (Credits)

• GT allocation for active DAO participants
• Based on Credits accumulated through DAO activities
• Often updated periodically (e.g. annually)

 

 

Transparency and Verification

All SyncGT operations are:

• Executed on-chain
• Publicly verifiable via blockchain explorers
• Logged through standard smart contract events

The SyncGT contract itself does not obscure or aggregate data—anyone can independently verify GT changes.

 

Relationship to Kambria DAOs Framework

The SyncGT contract is part of the Smart Contracts & Workflows layer of the Kambria DAOs Framework.

It supports:

• Dynamic, fair DAO governance
• Long-term alignment between ownership and participation
• Scalable governance without manual recalculation
• Integration with XDAO-based voting mechanisms

Important Notes

• SyncGT updates governance power, not economic ownership
• GT does not represent financial returns
• Sync operations follow DAO-approved rules only
• Frequency and criteria of sync depend on each DAO

Summary

The SyncGT Contract ensures that DAO governance power remains accurate, fair, and aligned with real contribution and ownership.

By separating:

• Rule definition (DAO governance),
• Execution (SyncGT contract),
• Verification (on-chain transparency),

Kambria DAOs can scale governance responsibly without central control.
