* Objectives include managing the project's development, funding, and ecosystem growth.

**2. Membership and Voting**

* Membership is open to all CVE token holders.
* Voting power is determined by the number of CVE tokens held.
* Proposals are subject to voting, with a majority deciding the outcome.

**3. Proposals**

* Any member can submit a proposal to the DAO.
* Proposals should be clear, concise, and relevant to the project's advancement.
* Proposals may cover development, partnerships, funding, and other project-related matters.

**4. Decision-Making**

* The DAO operates on a democratic consensus model.
* Proposals are subjected to a voting period, typically lasting a specified number of days.
* The proposal must reach a quorum, and a majority vote is needed for approval.
