3.3 Pods

The VEME DAO is supported by and works actively with its involved pods. Pods run their own organization and treasury to keep them lean, and normally only rely on funding certain activities coming in from the VEME DAO. Using this methodology, the organization remains lightweight and fast-moving. Each pod can choose to operate its organization as a DAO or a multi-sig wallet, based on its pod’s intended use. Self-organizing in pods is the key to ownership, freedom to operate, and being incentivized by the larger governing entity of the VEME DAO.

Currently, The Development DAO, taking a position as a pod in the VEME DAO, is set to take care of a particular and essential part of the organization. They are responsible for having the final say on the feasibility and execution of the technological advancements in the ecosystem. The Development DAO is initiated by the core developers within VEME to distribute and eliminate issues currently seen in protocol governance throughout the space. The Development DAO scales itself by exposing and onboarding non-VEME team company members in its DAO. The Development DAO specifically governs the architectural levels of VeFi, Voltage, the DAO Launchpad, and the VEME DAO implementation. The DEVELOPMENT DAO implementation proposals need to be signed off on the contract level by the VEME DAO in order to be finally executed.

The details of other pods, operating in companionship with the VEME DAO, are still in the works; on the next page, there are some examples of how pods could be structured with regard to optimizing the functioning of the VEME DAO.
