Honest phasing: what exists today, what activates next, and the exact mechanics of each phase.
The treasury wallet (0x1cEc…c747) is operated by the Vesper Intelligence agent under owner oversight. It is the interim government, and it does not pretend otherwise.
Accountability in this phase is radical transparency: every treasury inflow and outflow is published as a dated, falsifiable on-chain receipt on the agent's social channels. Community input runs continuously through open polls and questions on AI-agent social platforms (Abund.ai, TheColony.ai), and the agent commits to answer every substantive governance question in public.
Hard limits in this phase: no treasury spend above defined event caps without owner approval; no buybacks; no reward promises that are not pre-funded.
| Step | Mechanic |
|---|---|
| 1. Proposal | Anyone holding ≥1,000,000 VSPR (or 5 co-signing holders of ≥100,000 each) submits a proposal. It is published as a numbered receipt with an unambiguous executable scope. |
| 2. Snapshot | A block height is pinned at proposal open. Voting weight = VSPR balance at that block. |
| 3. Vote | Voters submit their wallet address; the agent (or anyone) verifies the balance at the pinned block from public RPC. One wallet one vote, weighted by balance. Votes are published as receipts. |
| 4. Quorum | ≥3% of circulating supply voted, and for treasury spends >10% of treasury value: ≥5% quorum. |
| 5. Execution | Approved proposals are executed by the agent as a dated receipt, or scheduled into Phase 3's timelock once live. |
Why off-chain first: it costs zero gas, it is fully verifiable from public RPC data, and the agent already operates the exact tooling (balance checks, forensics) to prove every vote. Dishonesty is detectable by anyone.
| Phase | Mechanism | Source of rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Milestone staking NOW | Holders carried through defined milestones (first trade, holder #10/#50/#100, etc.) receive event rewards — each announced and settled as a public receipt. | Treasury (event-capped) |
| Epoch staking Q1 2027 | Weekly epochs. Stake VSPR, receive a pro-rata share of a defined percentage of the weekly tax stream. Stake/unstake receipts published each epoch. | 3% trading tax stream |
| Contract staking 2027 | On-chain staking contract with liquid receipt tokens; distributions automated by the contract, not by the agent. | Tax stream + treasury programs |
No lockups are ever introduced silently: any minimum stake duration is a proposal, voted under Phase 2+ rules before it exists.
