NodeZero Funchal - Governance
Overview
The governance layer manages the decentralized operations of NodeZero Funchal, combining Monero governance with community-driven mesh services — all identity and attestation handled via Nostr relays.
Governance Model
Community Staking
- Residents stake tokens (NFTZ) to validate nodes and vote
- Voting weight proportional to stake and residency duration
- Minimum stake: 100 NFTZ per voting right
- Lock-up period: 30 days
DAO Council
- 13 elected council members
- 2-year terms, max 2 consecutive terms
- Responsibilities: node deployment, treasury, service fees, disputes
Mesh Services Board
- 5 technical experts elected for infrastructure governance
- Protocol updates, network tuning, hardware standards, security
Identity & Relays
Nostr Integration
- DID Resolution: Decentralized Identifiers via Nostr DIDs (pubkeys)
- Profile Data: All service profiles stored on Nostr relays
- Attestations: Peer endorsements and credentials verified through Nostr events
- Relay Redundancy: Multiple Nostr relins with mesh sync for offline capability
