House of Stake

Skip to main content

Versioning & Evolution

House of Stake is designed as an evolving governance system. To stay relevant, it must be able to improve over time — without losing stability or trust.

On-chain Versioning​

Each major governance change (new roles, voting rules, funding mechanisms) is treated as a version upgrade. These changes are proposed and approved through the same proposal and voting process.

  • All version changes are tracked on-chain
  • Each version is publicly documented
  • Participants can review historical changes and rationale

Why Versioning Matters​

  • Promotes transparency and continuity
  • Prevents abrupt, undocumented changes
  • Creates shared memory for governance evolution

Community-Driven Iteration​

Governance is never "final." The House of Stake framework is open to experimentation, improvements, and new ideas — as long as they are proposed, reviewed, and voted on transparently.
