6.1 Governance Evolution & Operational Structure

ACP’s governance and operational control will transition in phases to ensure security, engagement, and scalability.

Phase	Duration	Operational Structure	Key Features
Phase 0: Initial Centralized Launch	Up to 6 months post-TGE	Foundation-led	Whitepaper completion, smart contract deployment, DApp release, and testnet launch
Phase 1: Semi-Decentralized Delegation	6–12 months post-TGE	Community proposal intake	Beta governance tools, revision of early incentive models
Phase 2: DAO-Driven Experimentation	12–18 months post-TGE	Contribution-based voting and reward weighting	Tiered input channels, vote-powered decision cycles

This phased strategy ensures a smooth transition to full community-led governance with incentivized input at every stage.
