Governance Architecture and Ecosystem

Decentralized Governance Mechanism (Merin DAO)

Merin’s governance is realized through Merin DAO, whose core principle is “Layered Autonomy + Modular Governance.”

Governance Hierarchy Design:

Protocol-Level Governance (Core Governance)

• Determines key economic parameters (fee rates, liquidity reward ratios);

• Approves major partnerships and token economic model changes;

• Participation is limited to $MRN holders.

Market-Level Governance (Market Council)

• Establishes autonomous councils for specific prediction themes (e.g., politics, sports, crypto);

• Responsible for event proposal review and market maintenance;

• Council members must stake $MRN as a credibility guarantee.

Oracle-Level Governance (Oracle SubDAO)

• Manages data sources and result verification nodes;

• Utilizes a multi-signature + zk verification mechanism to ensure fair adjudication;

• Nodes are incentivized based on performance and reputation systems.

Collaborative Ecosystem and Cross-Chain Integration

Merin is committed to building an open prediction market infrastructure and forming a multi-chain interoperable ecosystem:

(1) Cross-Chain and Interoperability

• Multi-chain deployment via LayerZero / Axelar bridging protocols;

• Supports major networks such as Ethereum, Arbitrum, Solana, BNB Chain, and Base;

• Users can trade across chains through a unified account system (zk-ID Wallet) without repeated authorization.

(2) AI Ecosystem Collaboration

• Collaborates with independent AI projects (such as MindKit, BotFi, FlowAI) for shared data signal utilization;

• Provides open APIs to support AI models in generating prediction events and price signals;

• Builds an “AI-as-a-Prophet” ecosystem alliance, forming a prediction market jointly driven by AI agents.

(3) Developer and Community Programs

• Merin Builders Program: Provides SDKs, Oracle APIs, and data analytics interfaces for developers;

• Prediction Fellowship: Funds innovative prediction models and experimental markets;

• Community Bounties: Offers open task rewards to encourage community participation in protocol improvement.
