## Governance Architecture

| Tier                        | Mechanism                               | Scope                                                                    |
| --------------------------- | --------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Tier 1 — Emergency**      | 7-of-12 multi-sig (3+ jurisdictions)    | Security patches, oracle failures, emergency circuit breakers only       |
| **Tier 2 — Fast Track**     | Token-weighted snapshot vote, 48-hour   | Fee adjustments, new pair listings, incentive changes                    |
| **Tier 3 — Standard**       | Token-weighted vote, 7-day              | New features, partner integrations, budgets under $1M, AI model upgrades |
| **Tier 4 — Constitutional** | Token-weighted vote with quorum, 30-day | Core protocol changes, token economics changes, budgets above $1M        |

**Flash-loan governance protection:** Token balances at block N-1 determine voting power for proposals created at block N. Flash-loan vote manipulation is mathematically impossible.
