Kokonut Moloch DAO is the treasury engine that makes community ownership enforceable.
The Kokonut Moloch DAO is the capital and governance engine of Kokonut Network. It is the live on-chain system on Gnosis Chain that holds the treasury, governs farm funding, mints membership tokens, burns exiting shares, and protects every capital-contributing member through rage-quit. Kokonut does not ask members to trust an administrator, a company wallet, or the Core Team. Treasury actions require passed proposals. Membership is minted through DAO approval. Capital can exit through rage-quit. Governance rights are enforced by contracts instead of promises.Capital contribution is one path into Kokonut. Contributors without capital can start through Guilds and earn standing through verified work.
DAO at a glance
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does this DAO govern? | Treasury assets, membership, farm funding, Guild funding, partnerships, and governance upgrades. |
| Where is it deployed? | Gnosis Chain, Chain ID 100. |
| What assets does the treasury accept? | Stablecoins only. The treasury is not designed around speculative token price exposure. |
| How do members join? | By submitting a membership proposal and tributing stablecoins to the treasury. |
| What does a member receive? | Soulbound $vKKN voting tokens. Each $vKKN = 1 vote and is backed 1:1 by a real coconut tree. |
| How are contributors without capital recognized? | Through Guild Points and potential Loot token awards via DAO proposal. |
| What protects members? | Rage-quit: members can exit with their proportional treasury share. |
| Who can move treasury funds? | Only the DAO through passed proposals. No individual can move funds unilaterally. |
The Moloch DAO is the capital path. The Kokonut Guilds DAO is the contribution path. Together, they separate financial commitment from domain expertise so both capital and work can be recognized.
Why Moloch?
Kokonut uses the Moloch DAO pattern because it solves a specific governance problem: how can a group coordinate capital without trusting a central operator? Moloch DAOs have no administrators and no trusted intermediaries. Decisions are made through proposals that execute against treasury or vault contracts. No individual — including the Kokonut Core Team — can move funds, mint tokens, burn tokens, or change governance parameters without a passed community vote.No unilateral treasury control
Treasury actions require proposals. The Main Treasury is controlled by DAO execution, not a private multisig controlled by the Core Team.
Membership by proposal
New $vKKN holders are admitted through the governance process. Stablecoin tribute enters the treasury only if the proposal passes.
Exit is built in
Members can rage-quit with their proportional share of the treasury if they disagree with the DAO’s direction or a passed proposal.
Core mechanics
| Mechanic | How it works at Kokonut |
|---|---|
| Network chain | Deployed on Gnosis Chain, an EVM-compatible network. Chain ID: 100. RPC: https://rpc.gnosischain.com. Explorer: Gnosisscan. |
| Stablecoin tribute | Membership tribute is paid in stablecoins. This reduces governance exposure to speculative crypto volatility and keeps the treasury oriented around productive deployment. |
| Soulbound membership | $vKKN and Loot are non-transferable. Governance and economic rights come from proposal approval, capital contribution, land stewardship, or verified work — not from buying tokens on a secondary market. |
| Rage-quit | Members can exit with their proportional share of the treasury. This is the primary capital-protection mechanism. |
| Grace period | After a proposal passes, a grace period opens before execution. Members who disagree can exit before the proposal executes. |
| 66% retention threshold | If rage-quits reduce token retention below 66%, the proposal does not execute. This protects the treasury from governance attacks. |
| Proposal execution | Treasury actions are executed through the DAO once the proposal process completes. No additional approval from the Core Team is required. |
DAO components
Tokens
Both Kokonut DAO tokens are soulbound. They cannot be transferred, sold, delegated, or traded on the open market.| Token | Contract | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| $vKKN — Voting Token | 0xc6b075ac3234a7ac729114b27370b552fa284690 | Soulbound governance token. Minted via DAO proposal when a member tributes stablecoins. 1 $vKKN = 1 vote. Each $vKKN is backed 1:1 by a real coconut tree in a Kokonut Network farm. |
| Loot Token | 0x2508a11aee11ad545bae87cd42131c04613b2099 | Non-voting soulbound token. Awarded to landowners, contributors, Core Team members, and partners who add verifiable value via DAO proposal. Carries economic rights and rage-quit eligibility without governance voting rights. |
Infrastructure contracts
| Contract | Address | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Vault & Token Manager | 0x8977c56e979f0d8b76afb5ad85549acd2e96422d | Handles token issuance and DAO smart wallet operations. All operations require a passed proposal. Kokonut DAO is the sole signatory. |
| Main Treasury SAFE | 0xeb55b75328a8dffd45bbf34b7e7efc431a179085 | Rage-quit-enabled SAFE wallet. Handles tribute inflows, disbursement outflows, token minting, token burning, and rage-quit exits. Public treasury view: link.kokonut.network/treasury. |
How membership works
Membership in the Kokonut Moloch DAO is open to anyone willing to contribute stablecoins to the treasury and pass the DAO’s membership proposal process.Prepare your tribute
Decide how many $vKKN tokens you want to request. Each token is backed 1:1 by a real coconut tree and grants 1 vote on on-chain proposals.You will need:
- A Web3 wallet connected to Gnosis Chain
- Stablecoins on Gnosis Chain for the tribute
- A small amount of xDAI for gas
- The current membership proposal parameters
Submit a membership proposal
Navigate to link.kokonut.network/dao and submit a membership proposal specifying your tribute amount and the $vKKN you are requesting.The proposal enters the broader Kokonut governance process: a drafting and feedback window, followed by on-chain voting on DAOHaus.
Community review and vote
Members review the proposal, discuss it, and vote on it. On-chain voting uses the rule: 1 $vKKN = 1 vote.For onboarding proposals, quorum is intentionally permissionless: any level of participation produces a valid result, and the proposal needs a majority “For” vote to pass.
Grace period opens
After a membership proposal passes, the grace period begins before execution. Existing members who disagree with the new membership can rage-quit with their proportional treasury share before the proposal executes.
Tokens minted, membership confirmed
Once the grace period closes and the proposal executes, your stablecoin tribute enters the treasury, and your $vKKN tokens are minted to your wallet.You now have voting rights, eligibility for proposal sponsorship, rage-quit protection, access to DAO coordination, and visibility into farm funding and MRV data.
No capital? Start with Guilds. Contributors can complete useful work, earn Guild Points, and become eligible for Loot token awards through Moloch DAO proposals. Loot carries economic rights without requiring a stablecoin tribute.
The membership flow
How rage-quit works
Rage-quit is the capital-protection mechanism that sets the Kokonut DAO apart from traditional investment structures. It gives members an enforceable right of exit.| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| When can a member rage-quit? | At any time, including during the grace period after a passed proposal and before execution. |
| What does the member receive? | A proportional share of all assets held in the treasury at the time of exit. |
| What happens to the member’s tokens? | Their $vKKN or Loot is burned, and the total share count decreases. |
| Can an admin block it? | No. Rage-quit is a contract-level mechanism, not a Core Team permission. |
| Does it erase governance history? | No. Past votes remain part of the DAO record. Rage-quit is an economic exit, not a history reset. |
Voting power distribution
Kokonut DAO is designed so members control the DAO structurally, not symbolically.| Role | Voting power | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| DAO Members | 99.99% | All $vKKN holders collectively. Voting power grows as new members tribute stablecoins and receive $vKKN. |
| Core Team | 0% | The Core Team holds no governance tokens and cannot vote on or veto proposals. |
| DAO Summoner | 0.0016% | The wallet that initially deployed the DAO contracts. Symbolic founder position. |

Capital path vs contribution path
Kokonut separates two forms of commitment:| Path | How you enter | What you earn | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capital path | Stablecoin tribute through a Moloch membership proposal | $vKKN voting power and rage-quit protected treasury claim | DAO members, capital allocators, farm funders, long-term governance participants |
| Contribution path | Verified work through Guild tasks, bounties, research, MRV, development, governance, or partnerships | Guild Points and potential Loot awards through proposal | Builders, agronomists, researchers, operators, designers, writers, developers, and community organizers |
