Next Step: Mordor Testnet Deployment

On-chain governance and treasury infrastructure for Ethereum Classic’s core development, critical infrastructure, and network security. Basefee funds the protocol vault, a value that was set to be destroyed. Miner block rewards and tips remain completely untouched.

Governance

Governance Architecture

Three complementary systems designed to work together. No single group controls the protocol — binding on-chain governance, open prediction markets, and network participant adoption are mutually dependent.

Binding On-Chain Protocol Governance

Membership NFT holders vote on treasury allocation, core client funding, and protocol upgrades. Every proposal — submit, vote, queue, execute — happens on-chain and is publicly verifiable.

Open Prediction Markets

Anyone can open a prediction market on a proposed protocol outcome without membership. Market prices feed back as financially-backed signal into governance decisions.

Network Participant Layer

Miners, exchanges, wallets, and node operators govern through the client software they run. An upgrade activates when the network adopts it — distributed participation made real.
