7. Governance and Incentive Design

Aureon’s governance framework combines economic participation and technical contribution:

• Compute Providers earn for completed, verifiable jobs with quality scoring.

• Developers can tokenize model access and receive usage-based fees.

• Consumers access reliable, censorship-resistant AI with outcome-based pricing.

The governance roadmap includes:

• DAO-based protocol upgrade proposals and on-chain voting

• Reputation staking and slashing mechanisms for malicious behavior

• Treasury-managed grants for new protocol extensions
