#dusk $DUSK @Dusk Dusk Open Dusk: Governance During CreatorPad Exploration 🌙
There’s a gap between the narrative and the actual mechanism in Dusk’s governance right now. Let’s break it down:
**The Narrative: Community-Driven Growth**
1. The broader community decides the direction
2. Emissions that were previously burned are now funding open ecosystem growth
3. Anyone can shape and submit proposals
**The Actual Mechanism Observed:**
1. Gatekeeping First: A 5-member committee sources and refines every proposal before it goes to a vote
2. Funding Control: ~11.8M unmounted rewards + ~6.8M/year can only be redirected after a stake-weighted vote by active provisioners
3. Participation Rules: You need active stake + a stake operation in the prior 3 months to be eligible
So what we have here is “filtered decentralization.”
It’s not fully open, and it’s not fully closed. The committee acts as a filter, and voting power sits with active stakers.
During the CreatorPad exploration phase, this model is being tested to balance openness with execution.
What do you think?
Should governance be fully open, or is some level of control necessary in early stages?
