# The Charter {% hint style="danger" %} **Update in progress:** We’re aligning this charter and other pages with the new [**roadmap**](https://doc.storydoc.com/vv8ElK). Certain sections are provisional. {% endhint %} ### Vision Statement SagaDAO is a decentralized community built around mobile devices and apps on Solana, bringing together crypto-enabled device owners, creators, and developers to grow a thriving ecosystem. ### Mission Statement SagaDAO supports initiatives, develops tools and community spaces that leverage mobile. Web3, and blockchain technology. Guided by our core values, we encourage open participation, collaborate to drive meaningful change, and share knowledge to evaluate and improve projects within the Solana ecosystem. ### Core Values 1. **Transparency:** We uphold openness in our processes and decision-making to build trust and promote accountability. 2. **Community:** We are committed to building a strong, welcoming environment where every active contributor is valued, heard, and encouraged to participate. 3. **Collaboration:** We harness the power of teamwork and open communication to drive collective success. 4. **Innovation:** We strive to push the boundaries of mobile and Web3 technology through continuous research and development. ### Membership and Participation To become a new member of SagaDAO, you must own an approved device and to mint the associated NFT. Only these NFTs, obtained through device ownership, grant basic membership and allow you to participate in the community and governance. Active contributors may earn higher membership status with additional privileges or governance rights. #### **Approved Devices and Required NFTs:** * Saga - Saga Genesis NFT * Seeker - Seeker Genesis NFT {% hint style="info" %} Minting is conducted through an unaffiliated third-party Solana Mobile application using the crypto wallet associated with the device. SagaDAO does not operate, control, or assume responsibility for this process. Any issues related to minting must be directed to [Solana Mobile](https://solanamobile.com/). {% endhint %} ### Code of Conduct All members of SagaDAO are expected to adhere to the following code of conduct: 1. **Respect & Integrity** – No harassment, discrimination, or personal attacks. 2. **No Self-Dealing** – Do not exploit the SagaDAO for personal gain at the expense of the community. 3. **Accountability** – Own your actions and uphold transparency and trust. 4. **Privacy & Data Ethics** – Do not share or misuse private or sensitive information of others, including data distributed through DAO-run tools or platforms. 5. **Honest Communication** – Engage in good-faith discussions and avoid misinformation. 6. **Constructive Participation** – Contribute meaningfully to the DAO. {% hint style="warning" %} Violations may result in warnings, restrictions, or other actions based on severity. {% endhint %} ### Governance Structure SagaDAO operates a dual-governance model. DAO members and lead groups share power and responsibility. Major changes require alignment between both sides: the Main Treasury (lead groups) and the Community Treasury (DAO members). ### **Main Treasury Control** Managed by representatives from groups that help lead the DAO. Used to fund working groups, community initiatives, long-term programs, strategic partnerships, and other DAO-wide efforts.
