Community & Governance
Karate Inu is not just an AI tool — it is a collective intelligence ecosystem. At the center of this ecosystem is a community of contributors, analysts, and signal seekers who don’t just use the platform… they help shape it.
The long-term goal is to evolve Karate Inu into a self-improving intelligence network, directed by the very users who engage with it. Governance and transparency are not just add-ons — they are embedded in the dojo's philosophy.
9.1 Contributor Roles & Community Layers
Participation in Karate Inu is merit-based. Users advance through roles not by token holding, but by value-added contributions, measured through mission engagement, accuracy, and consistency.
Initiate
Signup + first mission
Basic missions + profile page
Practitioner
5+ consecutive days, streak maintained
Access to AI PASS shop
Strategist
100+ quality score, weekly top 20%
Premium missions, leaderboard visibility
Sensei
3+ Top 3 finishes, high insight rating
Community mod tools, Scroll contributions
Master
Long-term curator, governance participation
DAO proposal creation + special testing pool
Roles are dynamic — you can rise or fall based on ongoing contribution quality. This maintains an ecosystem that favors engagement and integrity, not idle holding.
9.2 Karate DAO (Governance Overview)
Karate DAO is the long-term governance model for Karate Inu, designed to transition control of key protocol functions to its most trusted contributors.
🧩 DAO-Controlled Elements (Planned):
Mission formats and categories
Seasonal event mechanics and burn triggers
Partner protocol integrations
Grant programs and ecosystem bounties
Use of reserve treasury (5% of total $KINU supply)
The DAO will be rolled out in phases:
Phase 1
Snapshot Voting (Q4 2025)
DAO “Lite” — eligible contributors vote on mission formats and reward formulas
Phase 2
Treasury Activation (2026)
Community voting on allocation of reserved $KINU and ecosystem campaigns
Phase 3
Modular Governance
Smart contract-level control over feature toggles, mission types, and burn cycles
DAO proposals will initially require Contributor Rank: Sensei or higher to submit, with $KINU used as a signaling asset rather than governance weight.
9.3 Transparency & Auditability
To build trust and eliminate manipulation, Karate Inu will publish:
🧾 Weekly mission logs: showing submission volumes, scoring ranges, and top contributors
📊 AI model change summaries: listing what was adjusted, why, and how it affects results
🔍 Public contributor leaderboard
🔐 Smart contract audits (via third-party firms before DAO deployment)
In addition, all token-related activity (vesting, unlocks, burns) will be verifiably viewable on-chain via a real-time dashboard launching in Q3 2025.
9.4 Global Community Expansion
Karate Inu’s vision extends beyond English-speaking communities. Multi-language missions, regional dojo groups, and localized AI prompts are being developed to enable decentralized growth across:
🇯🇵 Japan
🇻🇳 Vietnam
🇹🇷 Turkey
🇮🇳 India
🇧🇷 Brazil
Each language group will be led by Ambassadors selected from the most trusted contributors in their region.
