ABOUT THE ROLE
On-chain governance is one of the least solved problems in the blockchain industry. Most protocols bolt on a governance mechanism as an afterthought. Mintlayer is investing in a dedicated Head of Governance to design a framework that actually works for ML token holders, the protocol, and the regulatory environments where Mintlayer operates.
WHAT YOU WILL OWN
- Design Mintlayer's on-chain governance framework: ML token voting mechanics, proposal thresholds, quorum requirements, and time-lock parameters
- Architect the governance smart contract infrastructure with the protocol engineering team
- Design the DAO treasury architecture: allocation authority, multisig structures, and treasury management policies
- Build community participation structures: proposal creation process, delegate system, and governance forum standards
- Produce governance documentation
- Advise the board on legal treatment of governance decisions under ADGM and international frameworks
- Develop the decentralization roadmap
WHAT YOU BRING
- Deep understanding of DAO governance models: Compound, Nouns, Uniswap-style, and beyond
- Experience designing or advising on token-based governance systems in production
- Legal awareness of governance structures in regulated jurisdictions
- Strong writing — governance documentation is public and permanent
