Confederate Reserve · Governance
Monetary sovereignty
governed on-chain.
The Confederate Reserve Protocol is governed entirely by $CR token holders. All parameters, all upgrades, all policy instruments — ratified by binding on-chain vote, time-locked for transparency, and immutably recorded.

Constitutional framework
Four governing principles
Adopted at protocol genesis and amendable only through a super-majority (75%) vote with a 14-day deliberation window. These principles constrain all lower-level governance.
Separation of Powers
Monetary policy (rate corridors, reserve requirements) is set exclusively by $CR token holders through binding on-chain votes. Protocol upgrades require a separate 7-day deliberation window. No single party — including the founding team — can unilaterally alter protocol parameters after the governance handoff (Q4 2025).
Transparency by Default
Every governance proposal, vote tally, deliberation comment, and final execution is recorded on-chain and indexed for public query. Abstentions are tracked alongside affirmative and negative votes. There are no closed-door sessions.
Time-Locked Execution
Approved proposals enter a mandatory 48-hour timelock before execution. Emergency facilities (lender-of-last-resort activations, critical security patches) require a 5-of-9 multi-sig threshold and are announced publicly before activation, except in cases of active oracle manipulation where speed is essential to system safety.
Charter Sovereignty
Individual charter holders (state-level jurisdictions) retain sovereign control over their local rate corridors and reserve composition targets within system-wide minimum floors. Confederation-level governance sets the floors; state-level governance sets everything above them. Intrastate decisions do not require confederation-wide votes.
