Example MP Proposal – KAT Tokenomics DAO

 

KAT TOKENOMICS DAO – DAO-WIDE MASTER PLAN PROPOSAL

Applying & Piloting the KAT Reward & Privilege Framework

 

1. DAO Mission & Cohort 2 Direction

1.1 Mission Statement

The KAT Tokenomics DAO designs and applies the KAT Reward & Privilege Framework 1.0 as a shared, non-financial recognition system across Kambria DAOs in DEP Cohort 2.

The DAO’s mission is to ensure that KAT functions as a consistent, ethical, and comparable recognition layer for multi-stakeholder contributions, while not managing DAO treasuries or executing reward distribution for other DAOs.

Its work focuses on framework configuration, operating templates, audit logic, and execution workflow prototypes, preparing the system for future scaling in later cohorts.

1.2 Vision & Guiding Principles

• Recognition, not financial incentives (DEP Cohort 2)
• Fairness and consistency across diverse contribution types
• Transparency in rules, mappings, and reporting
• Guardrails to reduce incentive-gaming risks
• Multi-stakeholder inclusion (DAO members, collaborators, partners, ambassadors, volunteers, users, KAT holders)
• Infrastructure-first design that enables DAO-level configurability
• Forward compatibility for future privilege-based or utility extensions

1.3 Context & Rationale

DEP Cohort 2 includes multiple DAOs with different activities, outputs, and stakeholder groups.
Without a shared framework, KAT recognition risks becoming fragmented, inconsistent, and difficult to audit or compare across DAOs.

The KAT Tokenomics DAO acts as a foundational infrastructure DAO, supporting the cohort by:

• Applying the existing KAT Reward & Privilege Framework 1.0 to cohort DAOs
• Producing standardized operating templates and review processes
• Ensuring cross-DAO comparability and safety
• Prototyping the monthly execution workflow used in DEP 2
• Collecting learnings to inform future framework versions

The DAO does not operate other DAOs’ recognition cycles or settlement processes.

2. Impact Goals (DAO-Level & WG-Level)

2.1 DAO-Level Output Goals

By the end of DEP Cohort 2, the KAT Tokenomics DAO will deliver:

• Applied KAT Reward & Privilege Framework 1.0 configurations for 2–3 DEP 2 DAOs
• A DAO Operating Toolkit enabling monthly execution, including:
  • Credit, Karma, and KAT calculation templates
  • Audit and review checklists
  • Exception-handling rules
• Pilot integration support and feedback synthesis
• A lightweight web-based dashboard prototype demonstrating the off-chain execution workflow
• Documented learnings and recommendations for future framework iterations

2.2 WG-Level Impact Outputs

Working Group	Impact Outputs
Framework Application WG	DAO-specific framework configurations
DAO Support & Audit WG	Monthly review checklists and alignment feedback
System Prototyping WG	Dashboard workflow prototype
Documentation & Learning WG	Toolkit guides and cross-DAO learnings

2.3 Measurement & Tracking

• Number of DAOs successfully configured using the toolkit
• Reduction in per-DAO clarification and rework cycles
• Audit issue frequency and resolution quality
• Template reuse and adoption rate
• Completeness of the execution workflow prototype

3. Regeneration Strategy & Sub-Goals

3.1 DAO Regeneration Requirement

The KAT Tokenomics DAO does not directly generate financial regeneration.
Its contribution is systemic and indirect, enabling regeneration by ensuring that regeneration-related work is recognized consistently and responsibly across DAOs.

3.2 Regeneration Contribution Model

The DAO supports regeneration by:

• Applying regeneration contribution categories consistently across DAOs
• Embedding regeneration logic into Credit and Karma mappings
• Ensuring regeneration recognition does not distort DAO-level incentives
• Providing comparable regeneration signals across the cohort

3.3 WG Contributions to Regeneration

WG	Contribution
Framework Application WG	Defines regeneration-related categories and mappings
DAO Support & Audit WG	Reviews regeneration recognition for consistency
System Prototyping WG	Includes regeneration logic in workflow prototype
Documentation & Learning WG	Synthesizes regeneration learnings

3.4 Tracking

• Monthly review cycles
• Regeneration category analysis
• Cross-DAO consistency checks

3.5 Risks & Mitigation

Risk	Mitigation
Misaligned incentives	Cross-DAO alignment sessions
Overcomplexity	Start with minimal rules, iterate
Data inconsistency	Standard templates and guidance
Under-reporting	Review checkpoints and follow-ups

4. Working Group Structure
