Verified Human DAOs - 1 human = 1 vote governance

[het4rk]

Product Requirements (PRD)

Problem

DAO governance is broken - whoever has the most tokens wins. Plutocracy dressed as democracy. 1 human = 1 vote changes the game entirely.

Solution

Governance system where each World ID-verified member gets exactly 1 vote regardless of token holdings. Extends Arkora's existing poll infrastructure.

Features

• Proposal Creation - any member above karma threshold can propose
• Voting - 1 human = 1 vote, time-limited, quorum requirements
• Delegation - delegate your vote to another verified human (transparent, revocable)
• Treasury Proposals - propose spending from shared treasury
• Execution - approved proposals auto-execute onchain (for onchain actions)

Revenue

• Free for small DAOs (< 100 members)
• Pro ($19/mo): unlimited members, treasury management, analytics
