2. GNOKEN DAO Governance Documents
INTRODUCTION TO GNOKEN DAO
GNOKEN is the token associated with the GNO City game
and the collection “gnomeseries” on AtomicHub. GNOKEN
DAO is the decentralized autonomous organization tasked
with maintaining GNOKEN governance, tokenomics and
promotion of the token, decoupled from the devs behind
the Gnome Series NFTs and GNO City. The purpose of this
organization is to avoid conflicts of interest between the
devs and the token, while also adding transparency into
how the token is being operated.

three overall purposes
Ensure that the token is managed responsibly in
accordance with federal and state laws and

Maintain a constant interface with the developers
and creators of GNO City and GnomeSeries to
ensure that the players’ and collectors’ opinions
are heard and implemented when reasonable and
when voted upon by the player base.
Function as a marketing apparatus for GNOKEN
without having financial ties to the inherent
successes or failures of the NFT Collection.

13. Staking GNOKEN
DAO INTERFACE
GNOKEN
DAO
-
1.1
Users can stake their GNOKEN to vote on
DAO Governance Proposals
When staked, users will earn GNOKEN
passively.
There is no unstake window, but if you
unstake while a vote is active, your vote will
be rescinded.
GNOKEN Holders are the ones to determine
the future of the token and being active in
the community by voting on proposals will
make for a more efficient DAO.
14. Making A Proposal
DAO INTERFACE
GNOKEN
DAO
-
1.1
You must stake a minimum of 1,000 GNOKEN to the DAO to make a proposal
Proposals have 7 days to get 2% of the total staked GNOKEN voting to move beyond the
Proposed stage to the Accepted Stage.
Proposals that pass through the “Accepted” status will have the proposal fee of 1,000 GNOKEN
returned to the proposer. If the proposal does not move on, the GNOKEN is forfeited.
After a proposal has reached the Accepted status, users will have 3 days to vote on the
proposal. The proposal must reach 10% of total staked GNOKEN in voting for it to be either
Approved or Rejected.
If a proposal does not reach the 10% staked threshold, it enters the Expired Status and the
proposal is dead, but the original proposer will get their 1,000 GNOKEN back.
If a proposal does reach the 10% staked threshold of votes, it enters the Approved Status and
the proposal has 48 hours of open voting. This is to ensure that a large holder cannot impose
their will on the entire token in the dead of night.
The final stages will be Implementation-Queue and Rejected statuses.
A Implementation-Queue Proposal will be taken up by the DAO during their next bi-weekly
meeting and will be discussed on how it will be implemented.
A Rejected Proposal will be discussed, but will not be implemented. This is to ensure that both
sides of the proposal get fair treatment.

that the DAO facilitates on behalf of GNO City inhabitants.
