This dashboard is the focal point for information related to the Towns Lodge DUNA. As a tax-paying U.S. entity, it is essential that members are aware of the financial inflows and outflows (and related tax consequences) of the DUNA Treasury in a clear and concise manner. The Towns Protocol is supported by both a Swiss Association and the Towns Lodge DUNA – with the TOWNS governance token providing the members ultimate control over how the Treasury should be utilized. While the initial funding of the Swiss Association allows it to operate within established parameters, its role and funding will ultimately be decided by the members of the DUNA who, through their voting power, control whether to extend additional funding to the Swiss Association, redirect that funding to another entity, or take on more responsibilities within the DUNA. The DUNA Governance does not go live until January 1, 2026, to allow the members of the community time to familiarize themselves with the Swiss Association and the Protocol.
Token governance is live, with a temperature check and tax reporting intake (via Cowrie – Administrator Services tooling) completed before a proposal is brought to a final vote.
The TOWNS token uses OpenZeppelin's ERC20Votes. Your tokens don't count as votes until you choose where your voting power should live:
Either way, you keep full ownership of your tokens. Delegation does not let anyone move your tokens or claim them; it only points your voting power. You can change or revoke delegation at any time by making a new delegation.
This model keeps everyday transfers cheaper and lets governance use reliable onchain snapshots of voting power at specific blocks.
Self-delegating activates your voting power so you can vote directly in onchain proposals.
Vote directly from your wallet
You can point your voting power to a trusted delegate. This helps active representatives vote on your behalf while you retain token ownership and can re-delegate at any time.
You are still a member of the WY DUNA.
Under Wyoming's Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association Act, a member is someone who may participate in selecting administrators or shaping policies. A membership interest is the voting right defined by those principles, and the Act explicitly contemplates that voting can be administered by smart contracts. Delegating your votes does not transfer your tokens or your membership; it only authorizes another address to cast votes using your voting power.
