🕳️ The basics

Perion utilises a SubDAO model. Consensus within SubDAOs is facilitated via a voting mechanism Perion has developed called Tri-party consensus. To explain it simply Tri-party consensus gathers three key sets Perion stakeholders, giving each stakeholder equal voting capacity.

Perion’s governance process has been designed with throughput in-mind, much like a scaling solution the DAO has been optimised for throughput while Perion focuses on building.

If you’d like to dig further into how Perion governance functions at a technical level, it’s highly recommended you read the governance section of the Perion documentation, which provides a detailed view of all governance processes.

🌐 SubDAOs

Perion has 2 operating governance SubDAOs. Each SubDAO focusses on unique areas of opportunity for Perion to further its mission and expand the PERC ecosystem:

• The Product SubDAO governs Perion and PERC ecosystem products
• The Treasury SubDAO governs Perion’s treasury and the PERC token

Perion previously had a Gaming SubDAO which facilitated governance of the eSports wing of Perion. A proposal for to wind-down operations for the Gaming SubDAO passed in 2023 and its operations were subsequently paused, you can view the proposal here for details.

There are 2 further SubDAOs within the Perion ecosystem. While the previously discussed Treasury and Product SubDAO focus on governance, the following SubDAOs facilitate contribution and operations:

• The Support SubDAO consists of core contributors that contribute to all works required by the Treasury and Product SubDAOs
• The Community SubDAO is a community-lead SubDAO that allows contribution of proposals, contribution of works and in-time, allow the election of Subcommittees. The community SubDAO is comprised of all token holders
