Remove AstroDaze from Onyx Ambassador Role & All Moderation Authority
# Remove AstroDaze from Onyx Ambassador Role & All Moderation Authority
This poll seeks to determine whether the XCN community supports the immediate removal of AstroDaze from the Onyx Ambassador role (following recent reaffirmation #98753) and the revocation of all moderation privileges across Onyx community channels.
A DAO is only as strong as the voices it allows to speak. When an ambassador — a community representative — uses their position to silence the community they claim to represent, that is not governance. That is occupation.
---
## Documented Conduct
### Abuse of Moderation Power
AstroDaze has repeatedly used muting, banning, and message deletion to suppress community members who raise legitimate concerns about governance, ambassador conduct, and ecosystem transparency. Defenders of banned members are systematically targeted next — creating a chilling effect where silence becomes the only safe option.
### Retaliatory Intimidation
AstroDaze drafted "ineligibility" polls targeting @xplo333 (Nuclear) and @PappaJohn45, seeking to permanently bar them from ambassador roles AND future validator participation on Goliath. These polls were never posted to polls.onyx.org for community vote. They were written and distributed directly in Telegram as threats — intimidation dressed up as process.
This is not governance. This is weaponizing the system against the people it was built to serve.
### Coordinated Suppression
When Nuclear and Papa John raised data-backed governance concerns (including the fact that fewer than 50 wallets out of 70,000 holders could create proposals), AstroDaze responded with dismissive one-word replies ("What?", "this"), coordinated with other ambassadors to derail the conversation with GIFs and stickers, then supported the DAO's decision to mute both members for 24 hours under the citation of "fud, racism, and constant spam" — when no racism, fud, or spam had occurred.
- Stating the name of a continent was labeled racist.
- Presenting governance data was labeled spam.
- Defending a wrongfully banned community member was labeled fud.
### Failure to Meet Ambassador Standards
No active social media presence — no Twitter/X, no YouTube — which disqualifies meaningful participation in the Zealy program and falls far short of ambassador expectations for public outreach, education, and visible contribution.
AstroDaze was hand-selected by the DAO during a period when they desperately needed to fill ambassador slots, bypassing standard community vetting. The recent reaffirmation vote passed with only 54% approval — nearly half the community already voted against.
---
## What This Is Really About
Every community member has the right to speak without fear of erasure. Every concern deserves engagement, not a GIF. Every question deserves an answer, not a mute. Every year of contributions deserves more than "LET IT GO."
When ambassadors become enforcers instead of educators, when moderation becomes punishment for dissent, when the tools of governance are turned into weapons against the governed — the community has not only the right but the obligation to act.
This is that action.

Remove Scalper as Onyx Ambassador
# Remove Scalper as Onyx Ambassador
This poll seeks to determine whether the XCN community supports removing Scalper from the Onyx Ambassador role.
Onyx Ambassadors are expected to educate on governance, share verified resources, explain technical concepts accurately, participate constructively in Telegram, complete Zealy contributions, and foster open discussion — while avoiding unconfirmed info, investment advice, or implying team access.
---
## Concerns
- Banned a community member from the Turkish Telegram channel for sharing active governance polls — polls that directly affect Turkish XCN holders' interests and voting rights
- The shared content was a professionally translated, factual summary of two live polls on polls.onyx.org containing zero inflammatory language, zero insults, and zero rule violations
- Censorship of official governance activity — not spam, not scams, not harassment — governance polls created through the DAO's own polling system
- This pattern mirrors the same suppression documented in the main Onyx Telegram: community members who share governance data or reform proposals are silenced instead of engaged
- Ambassadors are expected to foster open discussion and educate on governance — banning someone for sharing governance polls is the exact opposite of the role's purpose
- Demonstrates coordinated cross-channel censorship: the same suppression tactics used in the main Onyx Telegram are now being enforced in regional community channels, preventing non-English-speaking holders from accessing governance information
An ambassador who bans community members for sharing active governance polls is not fostering discussion — they are obstructing governance participation. When the suppression extends to regional channels, it becomes systematic exclusion of entire language communities from the democratic process.

Remove Blue Moon (@bluemoon515) as Onyx Ambassador
# Remove Blue Moon (@bluemoon515) as Onyx Ambassador
This poll seeks to determine whether the XCN community supports removing Blue Moon (@bluemoon515) from the Onyx Ambassador role (following recent reaffirmation #67591).
Onyx Ambassadors are expected to educate on governance, share verified resources, explain technical concepts accurately, participate constructively in Telegram, complete Zealy contributions, and foster open discussion — while avoiding unconfirmed info, investment advice, or implying team access.
---
## Concerns
- Effectively non-existent or extremely minimal presence and activity in community/Telegram channels.
- Complete lack of meaningful education, outreach, technical/governance explanations, onboarding support, or Zealy contributions.
- Posts only about once a month (if at all), with very low substantive value.
- YouTube channel has just 2 videos total, offering no ongoing educational content or guides.
- X/Twitter account primarily consists of low-resolution, AI-generated GIFs and low-effort visuals with no real engagement, explanation, or ambassador-level contribution.
- When real concerning topics or serious discussions are raised, Blue Moon frequently responds with low-effort memes, GIFs, or eyeballs/emojis — mirroring the same dismissive pattern seen from other underperforming ambassadors — failing to engage meaningfully with community concerns.
This near-total absence of substantive participation falls far short of ambassador expectations for active, consistent, and value-adding involvement.

Remove Nurulla (Nurik) as Onyx Ambassador
# Remove Nurulla (Nurik) as Onyx Ambassador
This poll seeks to determine whether the XCN community supports removing Nurulla (Nurik) from the Onyx Ambassador role (following recent reaffirmation #a1b78).
Onyx Ambassadors are expected to educate on governance, share verified resources, explain technical concepts accurately, participate constructively in Telegram, complete Zealy contributions, and foster open discussion — while avoiding unconfirmed info, investment advice, or implying team access.
---
## Concerns
- Virtually no presence or activity in Telegram or community channels — described by multiple community members as "literally never here"
- Complete lack of performance in explaining governance, technical topics, onboarding new members, or completing meaningful Zealy tasks
- No visible engagement during critical governance discussions — when the community debated proposal thresholds, ambassador accountability, and moderation practices, Nurulla was absent
- Failure to meet even the most basic expectation of consistent engagement — an ambassador who is never present cannot educate, support, or represent the community
- The recent reaffirmation vote passed with only 53% approval — nearly half the community already voted against
An ambassador slot occupied by someone who is never present is worse than an empty slot — it blocks someone who would actually contribute from filling the role.

Remove Opa as Onyx Ambassador
# Remove Opa as Onyx Ambassador
This poll seeks to determine whether the XCN community supports removing Opa from the Onyx Ambassador role (following recent reaffirmation #2f2b5).
Onyx Ambassadors are expected to educate on governance, share verified resources, explain technical concepts accurately, participate constructively in Telegram, complete Zealy contributions, and foster open discussion — while avoiding unconfirmed info, investment advice, or implying team access.
---
## Concerns
- NSFW content on Twitter/X account, misaligning with community standards and professional ambassador representation. Community members reviewing Opa's public X profile will find content incompatible with representing a financial protocol.
- Limited substantive contributions — primarily GM posts, GIFs, and low-effort content with no meaningful governance education, technical explanation, or onboarding support.
- Minimal to zero Zealy task completion or documented community engagement beyond surface-level messages.
- When serious governance discussions arise in Telegram, Opa's contributions mirror the pattern seen across underperforming ambassadors — low-effort emojis, stickers, or silence rather than substantive engagement.
- The recent reaffirmation vote passed with only 53% approval — nearly half the community already voted against.
Ambassadors represent the Onyx ecosystem publicly. Their social media presence, community engagement, and professional conduct directly reflect on the project. This standard is not being met.

Remove Gedet_27 as Onyx Ambassador
# Remove Gedet_27 as Onyx Ambassador
This poll seeks to determine whether the XCN community supports removing Gedet_27 from the Onyx Ambassador role (following recent reaffirmation #6704a).
Onyx Ambassadors are expected to educate on governance, share verified resources, explain technical concepts accurately, participate constructively in Telegram, complete Zealy contributions, and foster open discussion — while avoiding unconfirmed info, investment advice, or implying team access.
---
## Concerns
- Lack of substantive education or outreach — primarily posting GM messages, memes, GIFs, eyeballs/emojis, and other low-effort content
- Minimal to zero performance in explaining governance, technical topics, onboarding new members, or completing meaningful Zealy tasks
- Insufficient consistent presence and effort toward actual community growth or support
- Flooding the chat with seemingly thought-destructive, extremely low-effort dialogue that appears to lack any memory or continuity of prior conversation
- Frequently responding to serious or critical issues with "huhhhh whattt", confused emojis, or laughing it off as a joke — effectively dismissing and derailing legitimate community concerns instead of engaging, educating, or addressing them constructively
- When community members raised governance data showing fewer than 50 out of 70,000 wallets could create proposals, Gedet's contribution to the discussion was nonexistent — no education, no explanation, no engagement with the substance
This pattern of minimal, non-substantive, and often disruptive participation falls far short of ambassador expectations for active, meaningful, intelligent, and value-adding involvement.

Abolish the Community Zealy Program
# Abolish the Community Zealy Program
This poll seeks to determine whether the XCN community supports permanently removing or abolishing the public/community Zealy program.
---
## Why
The Zealy program was intended to drive engagement, growth, and outreach for XCN and Onyx. It has failed on every metric that matters.
- **No meaningful community growth.** Despite ongoing campaigns and rewards, the program has not produced measurable onboarding of new participants or holders.
- **Low substantive participation.** The program incentivizes repetitive low-effort tasks (GM posts, GIF sharing, social media reposts) over genuine education, governance participation, or technical contribution.
- **Deterrence of serious participants.** Potential investors and engaged community members view the program as unprofessional and gamified — a points farm rather than a value-driven ecosystem initiative.
- **Misallocated resources.** Rewards, funding proposals, and administrative overhead dedicated to Zealy could be redirected to higher-impact programs: direct community grants, ambassador-led education initiatives, developer bounties, or governance participation incentives.
- **Enables underperforming ambassadors.** Multiple ambassador removal polls cite failure to complete "meaningful Zealy tasks" as a concern — yet the tasks themselves are designed to be low-effort. The program creates the appearance of activity without the substance.
Removing Zealy would streamline community efforts toward higher-impact programs and align with the community's consistent feedback for real, sustainable, value-driven growth.
---
## What Replaces It
Resources currently allocated to Zealy should be redirected to:
- Direct governance participation incentives (Onyx Points for voting, proposal creation, community review)
- Developer bounties for Goliath ecosystem building
- Ambassador-led education content with measurable impact metrics
- Community grants for meaningful outreach and onboarding programs
The community is better served by rewarding substance over activity.

Transform Onyx Telegram into a Free and Open Discussion Channel
# Transform Onyx Telegram into a Free and Open Discussion Channel
This poll seeks to determine whether the XCN community supports transforming the main Onyx Telegram group (@Onyx) into a fully free and open discussion channel with enforceable transparency standards.
---
## Proposed Rules
### All Topics Permitted
All discussions concerning the Onyx ecosystem, XCN, governance, ambassadors, proposals, partnerships, development, tokenomics, or related matters must be allowed without restriction, pre-emptive removal, or deletion. Criticism, tough questions, and dissenting views are protected speech within this channel.
### Ambassadors Must Respond
Ambassadors and official representatives are required to answer legitimate ecosystem-related questions promptly during active hours. "Just make a poll" is not an answer. "We have bigger things to focus on" is not an answer. Engagement, education, and transparency are the job.
### Equal Voice
Every community member must be allowed an equal voice. No selective muting, banning, or message deletion based on opinions, criticism, or differing views. The person who asks an uncomfortable question has the same right to speak as the person who posts a GM sticker.
### Censorship Limited to Actual Harm
Moderation is permitted only for:
- Direct personal attacks, threats, or harassment
- Doxxing or sharing private information
- Verified scam links or phishing attempts
- Illegal content
- Actual spam (commercial spam, not governance proposals)
The following do NOT qualify as grounds for moderation:
- Criticism of the DAO, ambassadors, or governance decisions
- Sharing governance polls or reform proposals
- Presenting data or analysis that contradicts official narratives
- Defending banned community members
- Asking questions the DAO doesn't want to answer
---
## Why This Matters
The Onyx DAO claims to be decentralized and community-governed. A decentralized protocol with a censored Telegram is a contradiction. Recent documented incidents include:
- Community members banned in sequence for raising governance concerns
- A year of message history permanently deleted by an unappointed individual
- The official DAO account mocking a member's grief with an Elsa "LET IT GO!" GIF
- Community members muted for 24 hours under false citations of "fud, racism, and constant spam"
- Governance data labeled as spam, continent names labeled as racist, defending banned members labeled as fud
- A member banned from the Turkish Telegram for sharing active governance polls
An open chat aligns with the DAO's stated values by:
- Encouraging constructive dialogue and rapid education
- Preventing disproportionate bans for raising legitimate concerns
- Building trust and attracting serious participants
- Redirecting ambassador efforts toward helpful responses rather than suppression
---
## Scope
This applies to the main Onyx discussion group (@Onyx) and all regional community channels (Turkish, Korean, etc.). It does not affect separate announcement/news channels. If passed, ambassadors must adapt their practices accordingly, with community oversight via future polls for enforcement.
---

Restrict Insider Voting, Transfer DAO Accounts, Freeze Ambassador Pay & Lower Quorum
# POLL 2: Restrict Insider Voting, Transfer DAO Accounts, Freeze Ambassador Pay & Lower Quorum
This poll seeks to determine whether the XCN community supports restricting insider wallets from governance voting, transferring administrative control of all DAO accounts to the new 5-of-9 MultiSig, freezing all ambassador compensation until the restructure is complete, and lowering poll quorum back to 100,000,000 XCN.
**Summary of Actions in This Poll:**
1. Functionally revoke Justin Sun / HTX ecosystem participation
2. Restrict ambassador voting on self-related matters
3. Restrict DAO wallet from all governance voting
4. Transfer all DAO accounts to new 5-of-9 MultiSig
5. Freeze all ambassador compensation until restructure complete
6. Enshrine anti-censorship protections for governance proposals
7. Lower poll quorum to 100M XCN
This poll is designed to work in conjunction with Poll 1 (MultiSig Restructure). Together they form a complete governance reform. Each stands on its own merit but both are needed for full implementation.
---
### Justin Sun / HTX — Total Voting Restriction & Functional Revocation
All wallets associated with the Justin Sun / HTX 500M XCN grant (OIP-52) shall be immediately restricted from all participation in the Onyx ecosystem including the address that created OIP-51/OIP-52. (0x243137bCb403EbD3e1437CeFA009dA7Ef16Eae46)
**The Facts:**
- OIP-52 granted 500M XCN to Justin Sun / HTX
- Justin Sun then used those granted tokens to vote in favor of his own grant — circular self-approval that no legitimate governance system would recognize
- The 500M XCN was a grant from the DAO treasury, not a market purchase — these are community funds repurposed as voting power
- The community voted unanimously in May 2025 to require a lockup smart contract — compliance is still unverified 10 months later
- The community passed the "Justin Sun Transparency" poll (#38ae6) with 100% approval and 110% quorum demanding an official explanation of the 500M XCN grant. The DAO has historically shut down all discussion of this topic.
- Zero meaningful governance participation, community engagement, or documented "market support" despite this being the stated purpose of the grant
- 500M XCN of granted tokens creates a permanent insider override — one wallet outweighs thousands of community holders combined
**Upon passage of this poll, all wallets associated with the OIP-52 grant are permanently excluded from:**
- All governance voting (polls and OIPs)
- All staking and staking rewards
- All Onyx Points accrual
- All airdrops, distributions, and community programs
- All Goliath mainnet participation (validator, delegator, or user incentives)
- All future DAO grants, partnerships, or allocations
**OIP-52 is declared illegitimate** on the basis that the beneficiary voted to approve his own grant with granted tokens — a governance action that fails basic conflict of interest standards.
This declaration of illegitimacy is not a general precedent for retroactive invalidation of governance outcomes. It applies exclusively to OIP-52 based on a specific, documented, and unrepeatable conflict of interest: the sole beneficiary of a treasury grant used that same grant to vote in favor of awarding it to himself. No other OIP in the DAO's history meets this standard. This is not rewriting history — it is correcting a governance action that should never have been counted as legitimate in the first place.
**Implementation:**
- All wallets that received XCN from the OIP-52 grant must be identified and publicly flagged
- A smart contract tracking mechanism shall be deployed to trace all movements of OIP-52 tokens — from origin wallet through any transfers, splits, bridges, or swaps
- Any wallet found to have received OIP-52 tokens directly or indirectly is excluded from all ecosystem participation (Including 0x243137bCb403EbD3e1437CeFA009dA7Ef16Eae46)
- Flagged wallets are excluded from both vote tallies and quorum calculations
- The DAO formally requests voluntary return of 500M XCN within 30 days
**If returned:**
- Tokens redirected to Community Strategic Voting Pool and community treasury
**If NOT returned:**
- Public breach statement published across all DAO channels
- Partnership permanently terminated
- All associated wallets blacklisted from Goliath at the smart contract level upon mainnet launch
- Legal consultation initiated on recovery options
- Community vote on whether to pursue full protocol-level blacklisting across Ethereum, Base, and BNB Chain
**The tokens remain in his wallet. But they can't vote, can't stake, can't earn, can't participate, and can't interact with any Onyx product or protocol. 500M XCN that exist on paper and do nothing in practice.**
**This is a precaution, not a punishment.**
The Onyx community welcomes Justin Sun / HTX's future cooperation and participation in the ecosystem. If compliance with the May 2025 lockup vote is independently verified and the 500M XCN is confirmed locked in a properly deployed smart contract, the community will vote to restore ecosystem participation rights proportional to demonstrated engagement.
The door is not closed. It is conditional. Comply with the terms the community already voted for unanimously, demonstrate genuine market support and governance participation, and the restrictions lift through the same democratic process that imposed them.
This restriction exists because trust was broken — not because it can't be rebuilt.
This restriction is permanent until the community votes to lift it — and that vote itself must exclude all flagged wallets from the tally.
### Current and Future Ambassadors — Partial Voting Restriction
Ambassadors cannot vote on matters directly affecting their own role, compensation, or standing.
**Applies to:** Ambassador reaffirmation/removal polls, compensation and budget proposals, program structure and standards proposals, Ambassador Leader appointment or removal, any proposal naming a specific ambassador as beneficiary or subject.
**Does NOT apply to:** Protocol upgrades, staking rates, tokenomics, partnerships, technical proposals, or any governance matter that does not directly reference ambassador roles or compensation — ambassadors retain full voting rights on all of these.
**Implementation:**
- Ambassador wallet addresses must be publicly registered
- Registered wallets automatically excluded from vote tallies on ambassador-related proposals
- Ambassadors who transfer tokens to secondary wallets to circumvent this restriction will be immediately removed and permanently barred from the program
### DAO Wallet — Total Voting Restriction
The Onyx DAO official wallet(s) holding approximately 100M+ XCN shall be immediately restricted from participating in any governance vote.
**Why:**
- The DAO wallet is not the community. It is the treasury. The treasury voting on how to spend itself is a conflict of interest by definition.
- DAO wallet participation in polls has historically inflated quorum for insider-benefiting proposals while community improvement polls fail at 27-54% quorum
- The DAO wallet tipping the scale on votes about its own leadership, its own spending, and its own ambassadors is not governance — it is self-approval
- No other serious DAO allows treasury wallets to vote on their own governance proposals
The DAO wallet's historical voting record shows a consistent pattern: participation in proposals that benefit insider interests (149-319% quorum on spending proposals) and non-participation in proposals that benefit the community (27-54% quorum on community improvement proposals with 97%+ approval). Removing the DAO wallet from voting does not harm community proposals — it simply removes the artificial inflation that made insider proposals appear to have broader support than they did.
**Implementation:**
- All DAO-controlled wallets identified and excluded from vote tallies
- Applies to all polls and OIPs effective immediately
- DAO wallets may still create proposals but cannot vote on them
- This restriction is permanent and can only be lifted by a community vote where DAO wallets are excluded from the tally
---
## Transfer DAO Account Administrative Control
Administrative control of all official Onyx DAO accounts shall be transferred to the new 5-of-9 MultiSig members within 7 days of poll passage.
**Accounts included:**
- @TheOnyxDAO (Telegram)
- Official Onyx X/Twitter account
- polls.onyx.org admin access
- community.onyx.org (forums) admin access
- Any other DAO-branded platform, channel, or account
**Why:**
- The official DAO accounts are currently controlled by the same insiders being removed in Poll 1 — leaving them in control of the communication channels means they can manipulate narratives, delete evidence, and suppress community activity even after losing their MultiSig seats
- The official Onyx DAO Telegram account was used to mock a community member's grief with an Elsa "LET IT GO!" GIF (Users can view attached content below) — an account that represents 60,000+ holders was used for personal retaliation. That account cannot remain in the hands of the people who used it that way.
- Controlling the treasury means nothing if the old guard still controls the microphone
**Implementation:**
- All current admin/moderator credentials for removed individuals (Shawn, VT, AstroDaze) revoked simultaneously with the transfer — no transition period, no shared access, no residual control
- The 5-of-9 MultiSig members designate communication responsibilities among themselves
- Ambassador Leader (Papa John) manages day-to-day Telegram moderation with the MultiSig retaining oversight authority
- A public log of all account access holders AND chat logs on all platforms must be published and maintained
---
## Immediate Halt of All Ambassador Compensation
All ambassador compensation — base pay, performance bonuses, XCN rewards, USDT payments, and any other form of payment — shall be immediately frozen for all current ambassadors until the full restructure is complete.
**Why:**
- Ambassadors currently being paid have documented failures to meet basic program expectations
- The ambassador program is being restructured under new leadership (Papa John)
- Continuing to pay ambassadors during a restructure rewards the same conduct these polls seek to correct
- Removal polls for multiple ambassadors are pending.
- No compensation disclosure has ever been published — the community does not even know how much is being paid, to whom, or from which wallets
**Terms:**
- All ambassador payments frozen effective immediately upon poll passage
- Freeze applies to ALL current ambassadors without exception
- Freeze remains in effect until: (1) new Ambassador Leader (Papa John) is installed, (2) MultiSig restructure is complete, (3) new performance standards are published, and (4) each ambassador is individually re-evaluated under the new framework
- Ambassadors who pass re-evaluation resume compensation at rates determined by new leadership
- Ambassadors who fail re-evaluation or are removed by community poll receive no further compensation
- A full accounting of all historical ambassador payments must be published within 30 days
No more paying people to post GM messages and confused emojis while the community members doing actual governance work get banned.
---
## Anti-Censorship of Governance Proposals
No governance poll shall be removed, hidden, or invalidated on the basis of quantity, frequency, or subjective quality determinations by DAO officials, ambassadors, or moderators.
**Why:**
The DAO has previously used "spam" as justification for maintaining high proposal thresholds and suppressing community governance activity. This framing is fundamentally anti-democratic. The community — not the DAO — decides what constitutes a quality proposal through voting.
**Therefore:**
- Any community member meeting the XCN threshold may create as many polls as they choose
- It is up to the voters' discretion to understand the difference between a quality poll and a low quality poll
- If voters can make that differentiation, they can vote against low quality polls and have clear voting power on quality ones
- It is not the DAO's word that holds proposals accountable — it is the community's vote
- No poll may be removed or suppressed by moderators, ambassadors, or DAO officials for any reason other than verified scam links, illegal content, or impersonation
- Removal of a legitimate governance poll by any official will be treated as a governance violation and grounds for immediate removal from their role
- The polling system exists for the community to speak. Silencing proposals is silencing the community. That is the one thing a DAO must never do.
- A public log of ALL generated polls must be published and maintained (Including ones removed due to verified scam links, illegal content, or impersonation)
---
## Lower Poll Quorum Back to 100,000,000 XCN
**Why:**
- The increase from 100M to 200M passed with only 52% approval — the tightest margin of any governance vote in DAO history
- As of March 14, 2026, active polls on Goliath Validator Incentives (97% approval) and Testnet Reward Plans (94% approval) are sitting at only 57-58% quorum despite overwhelming support — demonstrating that the current quorum level continues to block community-supported initiatives
- The quorum increase was implemented before ambassador reaffirmation votes, effectively raising the bar for community accountability at the exact moment accountability was needed most
- With DAO wallets and Justin Sun wallets excluded from voting (as proposed above), the 200M quorum becomes functionally impossible for the community to reach independently
- 100M quorum was the standard for over a year and produced legitimate governance outcomes
- The Justin Sun Transparency poll (#38ae6) achieved 110% quorum — demonstrating that when the community is united on an issue, quorum is reachable even at 200M. The problem is not that 200M is always unachievable — it is that it is selectively unachievable for proposals that challenge insider interests, while insider-benefiting proposals consistently exceed it.
- The 200M quorum serves one purpose: making it harder for the community to pass proposals the insiders don't want passed
**Implementation:**
- Poll quorum reduced to 100,000,000 XCN effective immediately upon passage
- OIP creation threshold remains at 100,000,000 XCN (unchanged)
- This quorum can be adjusted in the future through a community poll where DAO and Justin Sun wallets are excluded from the tally.
---
## Compliance with United States Law
All actions proposed in this poll shall be executed in full compliance with applicable United States federal and state law, including but not limited to:
- **Securities Law:** All voting restrictions, token flagging, and ecosystem exclusions shall comply with applicable SEC guidance on digital assets and governance rights
- **Anti-Money Laundering (AML):** The smart contract tracking mechanism deployed to trace OIP-52 token movements shall comply with U.S. AML regulations and may be shared with relevant authorities if evidence of illicit activity is discovered
- **Property Rights:** The functional revocation of Justin Sun / HTX ecosystem participation does not constitute seizure of assets. Tokens remain in the holder's wallet. This poll restricts protocol-level interaction rights, not ownership — consistent with terms-of-service restrictions used by every regulated platform operating under U.S. law
- **First Amendment & Anti-Censorship:** The Anti-Censorship of Governance Proposals provision enshrines the community's right to participate in governance without suppression. This is consistent with — not in conflict with — U.S. free speech principles as applied to decentralized governance platforms
- **Account Transfers:** The transfer of DAO account administrative control shall be executed through standard platform credential transfer processes in compliance with applicable terms of service for each platform (Telegram, X/Twitter, etc.)
- **Contractual Enforcement:** All voting restrictions, quorum changes, and compensation freezes shall be executed through legally recognizable mechanisms
- **Dispute Resolution:** Any dispute arising from the implementation of this poll shall be resolved under United States law, with jurisdiction in the state where Chain.com is incorporated
- **Decentralization Alignment:** Nothing in this compliance framework shall be interpreted to centralize authority, restrict community voting rights, or concentrate power in any single entity, jurisdiction, or legal structure. U.S. law compliance serves as a baseline for accountability — not a mechanism for control. The DAO remains a decentralized, community-governed protocol. Legal compliance strengthens decentralization by ensuring that the individuals entrusted with treasury access, signing authority, and operational roles are held to verifiable standards — not by subjecting the community's governance rights to centralized legal gatekeeping.
No provision of this poll shall be interpreted to require or permit any action that violates United States law. If any specific provision is found to conflict with applicable law, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to achieve compliance while preserving the intent of the community vote. All remaining provisions continue in full force.
---
## If Implementation Is Blocked
This poll acknowledges that the current leadership structure may refuse to execute these provisions. This refusal is anticipated and accounted for.
If the current MultiSig signers or DAO officials refuse to implement the results of this community vote within 7 days, all escalation paths outlined in Poll 1 apply equally to this poll — including public documentation, Chain.com accountability, legal escalation, community migration, and investor/regulatory notification.
Poll 1 and Poll 2 are companion proposals. Obstruction of either constitutes obstruction of both. The escalation framework is unified.
---
## Immediate Implementation — No OIP Required
This poll, if passed with quorum, shall be implemented immediately and directly without requiring a separate OIP, ratification vote, or additional governance approval of any kind.
- This poll bypasses all OIP creation thresholds, ratification requirements, and execution queues.
- Upon reaching quorum and majority approval, the results are binding and must be executed within 7 days.
- Chain.com, as the remaining MultiSig signer and lead developer, is responsible for executing all provisions of this poll including voting restrictions, account transfers, ambassador compensation freeze, quorum reduction, and Justin Sun / HTX functional revocation.
- Any delay, obstruction, or refusal to implement the results of this poll will be publicly documented and treated as a governance violation.
- If implementation is blocked by current MultiSig signers, this constitutes proof that the MultiSig is being used to protect insiders rather than protect the protocol — validating every concern raised in this proposal.
The community does not need permission from the people it is holding accountable. That is the entire point.
If only one poll passes: the provisions of that poll are implemented independently. If Poll 1 passes and Poll 2 does not, the MultiSig restructure proceeds under current voting rules. If Poll 2 passes and Poll 1 does not, voting restrictions and quorum changes take effect under the current MultiSig structure. Neither outcome creates instability — both improve governance independently.
---
## Vote Options
- **For** — Functionally revoke all ecosystem participation for Justin Sun / HTX OIP-52 wallets. Declare OIP-52 illegitimate. Request voluntary return of 500M XCN. Restrict ambassador wallets from voting on ambassador-related proposals. Restrict DAO wallets from all governance voting. Transfer all DAO account administrative access to the new 5-of-9 MultiSig. Freeze all ambassador compensation until restructure is complete. Protect governance proposals from censorship. Lower poll quorum to 100,000,000 XCN.
- **Against** — Retain all current voting privileges, account control, compensation structures, and quorum requirements.
 | Restrict Insider Voting, Transfer DAO Accounts, Freeze Ambassador Pay & Lower Quorum | # POLL 2: Restrict Insider Voting, Transfer DAO Accounts, Freeze Ambassador Pay & Lower Quorum
This poll seeks to determine whether the XCN community supports restricting insider wallets from governance voting, transferring administrative control of all DAO accounts to the new 5-of-9 MultiSig, freezing all ambassador compensation until the restructure is complete, and lowering poll quorum back to 100,000,000 XCN.
**Summary of Actions in This Poll:**
1. Functionally revoke Justin Sun / HTX ecosystem participation
2. Restrict ambassador voting on self-related matters
3. Restrict DAO wallet from all governance voting
4. Transfer all DAO accounts to new 5-of-9 MultiSig
5. Freeze all ambassador compensation until restructure complete
6. Enshrine anti-censorship protections for governance proposals
7. Lower poll quorum to 100M XCN
This poll is designed to work in conjunction with Poll 1 (MultiSig Restructure). Together they form a complete governance reform. Each stands on its own merit but both are needed for full implementation.

### Justin Sun / HTX — Total Voting Restriction & Functional Revocation
All wallets associated with the Justin Sun / HTX 500M XCN grant (OIP-52) shall be immediately restricted from all participation in the Onyx ecosystem including the address that created OIP-51/OIP-52. (0x243137bCb403EbD3e1437CeFA009dA7Ef16Eae46)
**The Facts:**
- OIP-52 granted 500M XCN to Justin Sun / HTX
- Justin Sun then used those granted tokens to vote in favor of his own grant — circular self-approval that no legitimate governance system would recognize
- The 500M XCN was a grant from the DAO treasury, not a market purchase — these are community funds repurposed as voting power
- The community voted unanimously in May 2025 to require a lockup smart contract — compliance is still unverified 10 months later
- The community passed the "Justin Sun Transparency" poll (#38ae6) with 100% approval and 110% quorum demanding an official explanation of the 500M XCN grant. The DAO has historically shut down all discussion of this topic.
- Zero meaningful governance participation, community engagement, or documented "market support" despite this being the stated purpose of the grant
- 500M XCN of granted tokens creates a permanent insider override — one wallet outweighs thousands of community holders combined
**Upon passage of this poll, all wallets associated with the OIP-52 grant are permanently excluded from:**
- All governance voting (polls and OIPs)
- All staking and staking rewards
- All Onyx Points accrual
- All airdrops, distributions, and community programs
- All Goliath mainnet participation (validator, delegator, or user incentives)
- All future DAO grants, partnerships, or allocations
**OIP-52 is declared illegitimate** on the basis that the beneficiary voted to approve his own grant with granted tokens — a governance action that fails basic conflict of interest standards.
This declaration of illegitimacy is not a general precedent for retroactive invalidation of governance outcomes. It applies exclusively to OIP-52 based on a specific, documented, and unrepeatable conflict of interest: the sole beneficiary of a treasury grant used that same grant to vote in favor of awarding it to himself. No other OIP in the DAO's history meets this standard. This is not rewriting history — it is correcting a governance action that should never have been counted as legitimate in the first place.
**Implementation:**
- All wallets that received XCN from the OIP-52 grant must be identified and publicly flagged
- A smart contract tracking mechanism shall be deployed to trace all movements of OIP-52 tokens — from origin wallet through any transfers, splits, bridges, or swaps
- Any wallet found to have received OIP-52 tokens directly or indirectly is excluded from all ecosystem participation (Including 0x243137bCb403EbD3e1437CeFA009dA7Ef16Eae46)
- Flagged wallets are excluded from both vote tallies and quorum calculations
- The DAO formally requests voluntary return of 500M XCN within 30 days
**If returned:**
- Tokens redirected to Community Strategic Voting Pool and community treasury
**If NOT returned:**
- Public breach statement published across all DAO channels
- Partnership permanently terminated
- All associated wallets blacklisted from Goliath at the smart contract level upon mainnet launch
- Legal consultation initiated on recovery options
- Community vote on whether to pursue full protocol-level blacklisting across Ethereum, Base, and BNB Chain
**The tokens remain in his wallet. But they can't vote, can't stake, can't earn, can't participate, and can't interact with any Onyx product or protocol. 500M XCN that exist on paper and do nothing in practice.**
**This is a precaution, not a punishment.**
The Onyx community welcomes Justin Sun / HTX's future cooperation and participation in the ecosystem. If compliance with the May 2025 lockup vote is independently verified and the 500M XCN is confirmed locked in a properly deployed smart contract, the community will vote to restore ecosystem participation rights proportional to demonstrated engagement.
The door is not closed. It is conditional. Comply with the terms the community already voted for unanimously, demonstrate genuine market support and governance participation, and the restrictions lift through the same democratic process that imposed them.
This restriction exists because trust was broken — not because it can't be rebuilt.
This restriction is permanent until the community votes to lift it — and that vote itself must exclude all flagged wallets from the tally.
### Current and Future Ambassadors — Partial Voting Restriction
Ambassadors cannot vote on matters directly affecting their own role, compensation, or standing.
**Applies to:** Ambassador reaffirmation/removal polls, compensation and budget proposals, program structure and standards proposals, Ambassador Leader appointment or removal, any proposal naming a specific ambassador as beneficiary or subject.
**Does NOT apply to:** Protocol upgrades, staking rates, tokenomics, partnerships, technical proposals, or any governance matter that does not directly reference ambassador roles or compensation — ambassadors retain full voting rights on all of these.
**Implementation:**
- Ambassador wallet addresses must be publicly registered
- Registered wallets automatically excluded from vote tallies on ambassador-related proposals
- Ambassadors who transfer tokens to secondary wallets to circumvent this restriction will be immediately removed and permanently barred from the program
### DAO Wallet — Total Voting Restriction
The Onyx DAO official wallet(s) holding approximately 100M+ XCN shall be immediately restricted from participating in any governance vote.
**Why:**
- The DAO wallet is not the community. It is the treasury. The treasury voting on how to spend itself is a conflict of interest by definition.
- DAO wallet participation in polls has historically inflated quorum for insider-benefiting proposals while community improvement polls fail at 27-54% quorum
- The DAO wallet tipping the scale on votes about its own leadership, its own spending, and its own ambassadors is not governance — it is self-approval
- No other serious DAO allows treasury wallets to vote on their own governance proposals
The DAO wallet's historical voting record shows a consistent pattern: participation in proposals that benefit insider interests (149-319% quorum on spending proposals) and non-participation in proposals that benefit the community (27-54% quorum on community improvement proposals with 97%+ approval). Removing the DAO wallet from voting does not harm community proposals — it simply removes the artificial inflation that made insider proposals appear to have broader support than they did.
**Implementation:**
- All DAO-controlled wallets identified and excluded from vote tallies
- Applies to all polls and OIPs effective immediately
- DAO wallets may still create proposals but cannot vote on them
- This restriction is permanent and can only be lifted by a community vote where DAO wallets are excluded from the tally

## Transfer DAO Account Administrative Control
Administrative control of all official Onyx DAO accounts shall be transferred to the new 5-of-9 MultiSig members within 7 days of poll passage.
**Accounts included:**
- @TheOnyxDAO (Telegram)
- Official Onyx X/Twitter account
- polls.onyx.org admin access
- community.onyx.org (forums) admin access
- Any other DAO-branded platform, channel, or account
**Why:**
- The official DAO accounts are currently controlled by the same insiders being removed in Poll 1 — leaving them in control of the communication channels means they can manipulate narratives, delete evidence, and suppress community activity even after losing their MultiSig seats
- The official Onyx DAO Telegram account was used to mock a community member's grief with an Elsa "LET IT GO!" GIF (Users can view attached content below) — an account that represents 60,000+ holders was used for personal retaliation. That account cannot remain in the hands of the people who used it that way.
- Controlling the treasury means nothing if the old guard still controls the microphone
**Implementation:**
- All current admin/moderator credentials for removed individuals (Shawn, VT, AstroDaze) revoked simultaneously with the transfer — no transition period, no shared access, no residual control
- The 5-of-9 MultiSig members designate communication responsibilities among themselves
- Ambassador Leader (Papa John) manages day-to-day Telegram moderation with the MultiSig retaining oversight authority
- A public log of all account access holders AND chat logs on all platforms must be published and maintained

- Ambassadors who pass re-evaluation resume compensation at rates determined by new leadership
- Ambassadors who fail re-evaluation or are removed by community poll receive no further compensation
- A full accounting of all historical ambassador payments must be published within 30 days
No more paying people to post GM messages and confused emojis while the community members doing actual governance work get banned.

## Lower Poll Quorum Back to 100,000,000 XCN

Restructure MultiSig Guardian to 5-of-9 with Community-Elected Seats
# POLL 1: Restructure MultiSig Guardian to 5-of-9 with Community-Elected Seats
This poll seeks to determine whether the XCN community supports removing Shawn from Ambassador Leader and MultiSig Guardian, removing VT (Sega) from Head of Business Development and MultiSig Guardian, removing AstroDaze from Onyx Ambassador and MultiSig Guardian, appointing Papa John as new Ambassador Leader, and restructuring the MultiSig from the current 3-of-5 insider-controlled structure to a 5-of-9 model with mandatory independent representation and community-elected seats.
**Summary of Actions in This Poll:**
1. Remove Shawn, VT, and AstroDaze from MultiSig and their operational roles
2. Appoint Papa John as Ambassador Leader (no MultiSig seat)
3. Install 5-of-9 MultiSig with named community seats
4. Deploy new audited smart contract with 14-day review
5. Reform Chain compensation to 100M XCN quarterly
6. Unban 6 community members
Additionally, OIP-62 never published the actual MultiSig wallet addresses or signer keys. The community was given five names but has no way to independently verify who actually controls the MultiSig onchain. This lack of transparency alone warrants a full restructure.
---
## The Problem
The current 3-of-5 MultiSig Guardian has zero independent oversight:
| Guardian | Role | MultiSig Signer | Independent? |
|----------|------|:----------------:|:------------:|
| Chain.com | Paid by DAO | ✅ | ❌ |
| @TheOnyxDAO | The DAO itself | ✅ | ❌ |
| Shawn | Appointed Ambassador Leader | ✅ | ❌ |
| VT (Sega) | Appointed Community Leader | ✅ | ❌ |
| AstroDaze | Re-elected (54/46%) Ambassador | ✅ | ❌ |
**5 out of 5 signers are insiders. Zero independent oversight.**
Only 3 signatures needed. Chain + @TheOnyxDAO + any single insider = complete control over the treasury and protocol. The community has no seat at the table that controls its own money.
This is not decentralized governance, but a centralized operation wearing a DAO costume.

### Compromised Reaffirmation Votes
The original ambassador reaffirmation polls that retained Shawn, VT, AstroDaze and all other ambassadors in their roles passed during a period when multiple community members experienced documented voting issues — including inability to cast votes, wallet connection failures, and access problems on polls.onyx.org. Community members who were banned or muted at the time were entirely excluded from participating in the very votes that determined whether their moderators would remain in power.
AstroDaze was reaffirmed with only 54% approval. Nurulla and Opa passed at 53%. The quorum alignment poll passed at 52%. These razor-thin margins occurred while active, vocal community members were locked out of the voting process. The results cannot be considered legitimate expressions of community sentiment when the community members most affected by these individuals' conduct were systematically prevented from voting.
Any reaffirmation vote conducted while critics are banned and voters are experiencing access issues is not a reaffirmation but a confirmation bias baked into the process.
---
## Why These Three Must Be Removed
### Shawn — Ambassador Leader + MultiSig Signer
Shawn holds dual authority as both Ambassador Leader AND MultiSig Guardian — overseeing the ambassador program while simultaneously holding treasury control. Under his leadership:
- Community members raising governance concerns have been muted and banned in sequence
- Retaliatory ineligibility drafts were circulated against active community participants without consequence
- The ambassador program has operated without transparent performance standards, compensation disclosure, or meaningful accountability
- Ambassadors who demonstrably fail to meet basic expectations (no social media, no education, no outreach, monthly posting at best) have been retained while vocal community contributors have been silenced
- Blocked community members on personal social media (X) for raising governance concerns
An Ambassador Leader who permits — or fails to prevent — the systematic suppression of community voices cannot also hold the keys to the treasury.
### VT (Sega) — Head of Business Development + MultiSig Signer
VT holds dual authority as Head of BD AND MultiSig Guardian — responsible for business development while simultaneously controlling treasury access. Concerns:
- No verified real-world identity — uses a cartoon avatar while managing community funds
- Chain raised $40M+ from institutional investors who required KYC, yet VT operates anonymously in a position with direct treasury control
- Appointed by leadership, never elected by the community
- Holds a critical governance position without the transparency expected of someone with treasury signing authority
A Head of BD who cannot be independently verified cannot also hold signing authority over billions of XCN.
### AstroDaze — Ambassador + MultiSig Signer
AstroDaze holds dual authority as Ambassador AND MultiSig Guardian. A DAO is only as strong as the voices it allows to speak. When an ambassador — a community representative — uses their position to silence the community they claim to represent, that is not governance. That is occupation.
**Abuse of Moderation Power:**
AstroDaze has repeatedly used muting, banning, and message deletion to suppress community members who raise legitimate concerns about governance, ambassador conduct, and ecosystem transparency. Defenders of banned members are systematically targeted next — creating a chilling effect where silence becomes the only safe option.
**Retaliatory Intimidation:**
AstroDaze drafted "ineligibility" polls targeting @xplo333 (Nuclear) and @PappaJohn45, seeking to permanently bar them from ambassador roles AND future validator participation on Goliath. (Users can view attached content below). These polls were never posted to polls.onyx.org for community vote. They were written and distributed directly in Telegram as threats — intimidation dressed up as process. This is not governance. This is weaponizing the system against the people it was built to serve.
**Coordinated Suppression:**
When Nuclear and Papa John raised data-backed governance concerns (including the fact that fewer than 50 wallets out of 70,000 holders could create proposals), AstroDaze responded with dismissive one-word replies ("What?", "this"), coordinated with other ambassadors to derail the conversation with GIFs and stickers, then supported the DAO's decision to mute both members for 24 hours under the citation of "fud, racism, and constant spam" — when no racism, fud, or spam had occurred.
- Stating the name of a continent was labeled racist.
- Presenting governance data was labeled spam.
- Defending a wrongfully banned community member was labeled fud.
**Failure to Meet Ambassador Standards:**
No active social media presence — no Twitter/X, no YouTube — which disqualifies meaningful participation in the Zealy program and falls far short of ambassador expectations for public outreach, education, and visible contribution. Hand-selected by the DAO during a period when they desperately needed to fill ambassador slots, bypassing standard community vetting. (Users can see current social media presence from official DAO reaffirmation poll : https://polls.onyx.org/#/proposal/0x9875395bce5dca540363faf6647c413c6c8e4a053f91c8d3c47ad9daf59fb252)
An ambassador who weaponizes governance tools against the community, drafts retaliatory polls to bar critics from the ecosystem, and fails to meet basic ambassador standards cannot also hold signing authority over the community's treasury.
---
## The Pattern
All three individuals share the same structural conflict: they hold operational roles (ambassador leader, head of BD, ambassador) AND treasury control simultaneously. They oversee programs, moderate discussions, and manage community interactions — while also holding the keys to the money. When the community questions their performance, the same people who are being questioned control the mechanism that could negate the questioners.
This is a closed loop of authority, not security.
---
## New Ambassador Leader: Papa John (@PappaJohn45)
Papa John replaces Shawn as Ambassador Leader. He does NOT hold a MultiSig seat — because the entire point of this restructure is that no one should hold operational authority AND treasury control simultaneously.
- Voted in as ambassador by the community — then banned by the people he was elected to hold accountable
- Firsthand experience with moderation abuse — knows exactly what needs to change because he lived through it
- Will restructure the ambassador program to truly fit the needs and ever-evolving community
- Will not silence dissent — a leader who was banned for speaking up will never ban someone else for doing the same
The best person to reform a program that punished criticism is someone who was punished for criticizing it.

## Proposed MultiSig Restructure (5-of-9)
| Seat | Member | Role | Rationale | Independent? |
|------|--------|------|-----------|:------------:|
| 1 | Chain.com | Service Provider | Retained — must recuse on Chain-related votes | Declared conflict |
| 2 | Onyx DAO official | DAO Representative | Retained — insider seat | Insider |
| 3 | Momo (@Baby_Momo94) | Community-Elected | Significant independent holder, long-term aligned | ✅ |
| 4 | Joe Peay | Community-Elected | Long-term community advocate, witnessed 1+ year of moderation abuse | ✅ |
| 5 | Name Name (@Name_Name111) | Community-Elected | Quality control voice, devil's advocate, level-headed strategist | ✅ |
| 6 | Independent security auditor (U.S.-based) | Independent Professional | Must be a U.S.-registered blockchain security or forensics firm with no current or prior financial relationship to Onyx DAO, Chain, or any MultiSig member. Non-U.S. firms are not eligible. Hired not elected. | ✅ |
| 7 | BeardedCrypto (@Beardedcrypt0) | Holder Representative | UK-based, 100% ambassador approval, financial software project management experience | ✅ |
| 8 | SKS (@sks21560) | Ambassador Representative | Active ambassador, Android developer, technical contributor, bug reporter | Semi |
| 9 | Rotating bi-annual seat | Community Rotation | Open election every 6 months — fresh voice, prevents entrenchment | ✅ |
The community may elect alternative candidates to any proposed seat through a follow-up election poll. The names proposed here represent initial candidates based on documented community participation — not permanent appointments. Any XCN holder may challenge any seat through the standard polling process after the restructure is complete.
### Separation of Powers
| Role | Person | Treasury Access? |
|------|--------|:----------------:|
| Ambassador Leader | Papa John | ❌ — leads program, no treasury keys |
| MultiSig Signers | Momo, Joe Peay, Name Name, BeardedCrypto, SKS, Auditor, Rotating | ✅ — with independent majority |
| Service Provider | Chain.com | ✅ — must recuse on Chain votes |
| DAO Representative | Onyx DAO official | ✅ — insider seat |
Separation of powers. Checks and balances. Just how governance is supposed to work.
### The Math
- **6 out of 9 seats are independent community voices**
- **Chain + DAO official = 2 insider seats** — they can never override the community
- **5-of-9 required** — insiders need at least 3 community members to agree on any action
- **Minimum 3 independent approvals required** — no transaction without community consent
- **Ambassador Leader has zero treasury access** — operational roles stay operational
### Signature & Transparency Requirements
- 5-of-9 signatures required for any action
- Minimum 3 independent members must approve every transaction
- Chain must recuse from any vote affecting Chain compensation
- Bi-annual re-election for all community seats
- No individual may hold both an operational role (ambassador, leadership, service provider) AND a MultiSig seat simultaneously
- All signer wallet addresses published and independently verifiable onchain
- MultiSig contract address published within 7 days of restructure
- Every MultiSig transaction logged with signer attestation
- Quarterly public report on all MultiSig actions taken
### Smart Contract Reversion
The current MultiSig Guardian smart contract must be reverted and redeployed. The existing contract — whose address and signer configuration have never been published or independently verified — cannot be trusted as the foundation for a restructured governance system.
- Current MultiSig smart contract must be fully deprecated
- A new 5-of-9 MultiSig smart contract must be deployed from scratch
- The new contract must be open source, publicly verifiable, audited by a U.S.-registered firm with no ties to Onyx DAO or Chain, and published with full source code and all 9 signer addresses
- 14-day community review period before any treasury funds are transferred to the new contract
- The old contract must be permanently disabled — no residual signing authority, no backdoor access, no admin keys retained by former signers
- Chain.com is responsible for development and deployment as part of their restructured compensation
### Chain.com Compensation Reform
Upon restructure completion, Chain's compensation shall be reformed from the current 200,000,000 XCN monthly payment to 100,000,000 XCN paid quarterly (400M XCN annually, down from 2.4B annually). This aligns Chain's compensation with performance review cycles and reduces treasury outflows by over 83% while maintaining adequate funding for development operations.
---
## Why This Matters
A treasury controlled entirely by insiders is not a community treasury. A guardian with no independent members is not a guardian — it is a gatekeeper. A MultiSig with unpublished signer addresses is not security — it is obscurity.
The community has the right to oversight, the right to independent representation, and the right to a governance structure where the people who spend the money are not the same people who approve the spending.
Removing 3 of 5 signers forces a restructure. That is the point. The current structure cannot be reformed from within because the people who would need to approve the reform are the same people the reform would hold accountable. The only path to independence is through replacement.
This is not an attack on individuals. This is the community exercising its fundamental right to decentralized, accountable governance.
Nothing less than truth.
Nothing less than freedom of speech.
Nothing less than liberty for all who hold XCN and believe in what this project could be.
---
## Immediate Unbanning
Upon passage of this poll, the following community members shall be immediately unbanned and have full access restored to the official Onyx Telegram group (t.me/Onyx) and all related DAO communication channels:
- **Rhino / Nuclear (@xplo333)**
- **Papa John (@PappaJohn45)**
- **Name Name (@Name_Name111)**
- **Marky Marc**
- **Joe Peay**
- **Vladimir Putin**
For full transparency, complete transcriptions of all moderation incidents leading to these bans are documented and available for community review. The community can judge for themselves whether the cited reasons ("fud, racism, and constant spam") were accurate descriptions of the actual conduct.
All six were banned in sequence for raising legitimate governance concerns or defending others who did. No community rule was cited at the time of any ban that justified permanent exclusion. Message histories were permanently deleted by individuals the community never elected.
These unbans are not conditional. They are not subject to review by the individuals who issued the original bans. They are immediate, full, and permanent — subject only to the same community rules that apply to every other member going forward.
Any re-banning of these individuals without a documented rule violation cited at the time of the ban and a community poll approving the action will be treated as retaliation and a governance violation.
---
## Compliance with United States Law
All actions proposed in this poll shall be executed in full compliance with applicable United States federal and state law, including but not limited to:
- **Securities Law:** All token transfers, smart contract deployments, and governance restructuring shall comply with applicable SEC guidance on digital assets and DAO governance
- **Anti-Money Laundering (AML):** All new MultiSig signers must pass AML screening. The independent security auditor must be registered and compliant with U.S. AML regulations
- **Identity Verification:** All MultiSig signers holding treasury access must complete identity verification through an independent third-party provider prior to assuming signing authority. Verification confirms the signer is a real, unique individual — it does not require public disclosure of personal information. Verified identities are held under seal by the independent auditor and disclosed only under court order or in the event of documented fiduciary breach. No signer's personal information will be made public. No candidate receives treasury access until verification is complete. This requirement applies equally and without exception to every proposed signer including Chain.com's representative and the DAO official.
- **Fiduciary Responsibility:** MultiSig signers accept fiduciary responsibility for treasury assets upon accepting their seat. Misuse, unauthorized transfers, or failure to execute community-approved governance actions may constitute breach of fiduciary duty under applicable law
- **Tax Compliance:** All compensation (Chain quarterly payments, ambassador compensation, grants) must be structured with appropriate tax reporting. Recipients are responsible for their own tax obligations
- **Contractual Enforcement:** The smart contract reversion, 5-of-9 deployment, and all signer changes shall be executed through legally recognizable mechanisms. If any provision requires additional legal structuring to be enforceable under U.S. law, Chain.com is responsible for obtaining legal counsel and implementing the necessary framework as part of their restructured compensation
- **Dispute Resolution:** Any dispute arising from the implementation of this poll shall be resolved under United States law, with jurisdiction in the state where Chain.com is incorporated
- **Decentralization Alignment:** Nothing in this compliance framework shall be interpreted to centralize authority, restrict community voting rights, or concentrate power in any single entity, jurisdiction, or legal structure. U.S. law compliance serves as a baseline for accountability — not a mechanism for control. The DAO remains a decentralized, community-governed protocol. Legal compliance strengthens decentralization by ensuring that the individuals entrusted with treasury access, signing authority, and operational roles are held to verifiable standards — not by subjecting the community's governance rights to centralized legal gatekeeping.
No provision of this poll shall be interpreted to require or permit any action that violates United States law. If any specific provision is found to conflict with applicable law, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to achieve compliance while preserving the intent of the community vote. All remaining provisions continue in full force.
---
## If Implementation Is Blocked
This poll acknowledges that the current 3-of-5 MultiSig may refuse to execute its own restructuring. This refusal is anticipated and accounted for.
If the current MultiSig signers refuse to implement the results of this community vote within 7 days:
1. **The refusal itself becomes the evidence.** A MultiSig that refuses to execute a community mandate is not a guardian — it is proof of the centralization this poll sought to correct. This will be publicly documented and distributed to all holders, media, and regulatory contacts.
2. **Chain.com faces a choice.** As both a MultiSig signer and the lead developer launching Goliath on March 27, Chain can either act as a neutral executor of community will or be permanently documented as complicit in blocking democratic governance. A blockchain launched against the documented wishes of its community is not decentralized and will be represented as such to investors, partners, and regulators.
3. **Legal escalation.** The U.S. compliance framework in this poll establishes fiduciary responsibility for MultiSig signers. Refusal to execute a community mandate while continuing to collect compensation from the treasury may constitute breach of fiduciary duty. Legal consultation will be initiated.
4. **Community migration.** If governance cannot be reformed from within, the community reserves the right to coordinate a migration to an independent governance structure, fork, or alternative protocol. The 60,000+ holders are the ecosystem — not the five signers who control the wallet.
5. **Investor and regulatory notification.** Chain raised $40M+ from institutional investors. Those investors were told they were funding a decentralized protocol. A MultiSig that refuses community governance is material information relevant to those investment representations.
The community prefers cooperation. These escalation paths exist only if cooperation is refused. The choice belongs to the current signers.
---
## Immediate Implementation — No OIP Required
This poll, if passed with quorum, shall be implemented immediately and directly without requiring a separate OIP, ratification vote, or additional governance approval of any kind.
The current OIP process is controlled by the same individuals this poll seeks to remove. Requiring an OIP to remove MultiSig signers means asking the MultiSig signers to approve their own removal. That is not governance. That is asking the lock to unlock itself.
- The MultiSig Guardian was established through OIP-62 — a bundled omnibus proposal that combined the MultiSig with staking rates, marketing budgets, DAO registry, and ambassador funding in a single yes/no vote. The community was never given the option to vote on the MultiSig structure independently.
- The individuals being removed (Shawn, VT, AstroDaze) hold the operational roles AND the treasury keys that control the OIP execution process. They cannot be both the subjects of removal AND the executors of that removal.
- OIP-62 itself states the MultiSig Guardians "will be evaluated and voted by the community quarterly." This poll IS that community evaluation — and proposes extending the evaluation cycle to bi-annually under the new structure to allow sufficient time for signers to demonstrate performance.
**Therefore:**
- This poll bypasses all OIP creation thresholds, ratification requirements, and execution queues.
- Upon reaching quorum and majority approval, the results are binding. Signer removal, role changes, unbanning, and process initiation must begin within 7 days. The new 5-of-9 smart contract deployment follows the 14-day community review period before any treasury funds are transferred.
- Chain.com, as the remaining MultiSig signer and lead developer, is responsible for executing the signer removal and initiating the 5-of-9 restructure. Upon restructure completion, Chain's compensation shall be reformed from the current 200,000,000 XCN monthly payment to 100,000,000 XCN paid quarterly (400M XCN annually, down from 2.4B annually).
- Any delay, obstruction, or refusal to implement the results of this poll will be publicly documented and treated as a governance violation.
- If implementation is blocked by current MultiSig signers, this constitutes proof that the MultiSig is being used to protect insiders rather than protect the protocol — validating every concern raised in this proposal.
This reform takes effect upon restructure completion — not before. Chain's current compensation continues uninterrupted through the Goliath mainnet launch and the 14-day smart contract review period. No development funding is reduced until the new governance structure is operational. Goliath is not affected.
The community does not need permission from the people it is holding accountable. That is the entire point.
If only one poll passes: the provisions of that poll are implemented independently. If Poll 1 passes and Poll 2 does not, the MultiSig restructure proceeds under current voting rules. If Poll 2 passes and Poll 1 does not, voting restrictions and quorum changes take effect under the current MultiSig structure. Neither outcome creates instability — both improve governance independently.

## Vote Options
- **For** — Remove Shawn as Ambassador Leader and MultiSig signer. Remove VT (Sega) as Head of Business Development and MultiSig signer. Remove AstroDaze as Onyx Ambassador and MultiSig signer. Appoint Papa John as Ambassador Leader (no MultiSig seat). Initiate 5-of-9 MultiSig restructure with community-elected seats, mandatory independent majority, published signer addresses, and new smart contract deployment. Reform Chain.com compensation to 100,000,000 XCN paid quarterly. Unban Rhino, Papa John, Name Name, Marky Marc, Joe Peay, and Vladimir Putin.
- **Against** — Retain current 3-of-5 MultiSig structure, all current signers, all current role holders, and all current bans.
 | Restructure MultiSig Guardian to 5-of-9 with Community-Elected Seats | # POLL 1: Restructure MultiSig Guardian to 5-of-9 with Community-Elected Seats
This poll seeks to determine whether the XCN community supports removing Shawn from Ambassador Leader and MultiSig Guardian, removing VT (Sega) from Head of Business Development and MultiSig Guardian, removing AstroDaze from Onyx Ambassador and MultiSig Guardian, appointing Papa John as new Ambassador Leader, and restructuring the MultiSig from the current 3-of-5 insider-controlled structure to a 5-of-9 model with mandatory independent representation and community-elected seats.
**Summary of Actions in This Poll:**
1. Remove Shawn, VT, and AstroDaze from MultiSig and their operational roles
2. Appoint Papa John as Ambassador Leader (no MultiSig seat)
3. Install 5-of-9 MultiSig with named community seats
4. Deploy new audited smart contract with 14-day review
5. Reform Chain compensation to 100M XCN quarterly
6. Unban 6 community members
Additionally, OIP-62 never published the actual MultiSig wallet addresses or signer keys. The community was given five names but has no way to independently verify who actually controls the MultiSig onchain. This lack of transparency alone warrants a full restructure.
---
## The Problem
The current 3-of-5 MultiSig Guardian has zero independent oversight:
| Guardian | Role | MultiSig Signer | Independent? |
|----------|------|:----------------:|:------------:|
| Chain.com | Paid by DAO | ✅ | ❌ |
| @TheOnyxDAO | The DAO itself | ✅ | ❌ |
| Shawn | Appointed Ambassador Leader | ✅ | ❌ |
| VT (Sega) | Appointed Community Leader | ✅ | ❌ |
| AstroDaze | Re-elected (54/46%) Ambassador | ✅ | ❌ |
**5 out of 5 signers are insiders. Zero independent oversight.**
Only 3 signatures needed. Chain + @TheOnyxDAO + any single insider = complete control over the treasury and protocol. The community has no seat at the table that controls its own money.
This is not decentralized governance, but a centralized operation wearing a DAO costume.

### Compromised Reaffirmation Votes
The original ambassador reaffirmation polls that retained Shawn, VT, AstroDaze and all other ambassadors in their roles passed during a period when multiple community members experienced documented voting issues — including inability to cast votes, wallet connection failures, and access problems on polls.onyx.org. Community members who were banned or muted at the time were entirely excluded from participating in the very votes that determined whether their moderators would remain in power.
AstroDaze was reaffirmed with only 54% approval. Nurulla and Opa passed at 53%. The quorum alignment poll passed at 52%. These razor-thin margins occurred while active, vocal community members were locked out of the voting process. The results cannot be considered legitimate expressions of community sentiment when the community members most affected by these individuals' conduct were systematically prevented from voting.
Any reaffirmation vote conducted while critics are banned and voters are experiencing access issues is not a reaffirmation but a confirmation bias baked into the process.

## Why These Three Must Be Removed
### Shawn — Ambassador Leader + MultiSig Signer
Shawn holds dual authority as both Ambassador Leader AND MultiSig Guardian — overseeing the ambassador program while simultaneously holding treasury control. Under his leadership:
- Community members raising governance concerns have been muted and banned in sequence
- Retaliatory ineligibility drafts were circulated against active community participants without consequence
- The ambassador program has operated without transparent performance standards, compensation disclosure, or meaningful accountability
- Ambassadors who demonstrably fail to meet basic expectations (no social media, no education, no outreach, monthly posting at best) have been retained while vocal community contributors have been silenced
- Blocked community members on personal social media (X) for raising governance concerns
An Ambassador Leader who permits — or fails to prevent — the systematic suppression of community voices cannot also hold the keys to the treasury.
### VT (Sega) — Head of Business Development + MultiSig Signer
VT holds dual authority as Head of BD AND MultiSig Guardian — responsible for business development while simultaneously controlling treasury access. Concerns:
- No verified real-world identity — uses a cartoon avatar while managing community funds
- Chain raised $40M+ from institutional investors who required KYC, yet VT operates anonymously in a position with direct treasury control
- Appointed by leadership, never elected by the community

Removing 3 of 5 signers forces a restructure. That is the point. The current structure cannot be reformed from within because the people who would need to approve the reform are the same people the reform would hold accountable. The only path to independence is through replacement.
This is not an attack on individuals. This is the community exercising its fundamental right to decentralized, accountable governance.
Nothing less than truth.
Nothing less than freedom of speech.
Nothing less than liberty for all who hold XCN and believe in what this project could be.

## Immediate Unbanning
Upon passage of this poll, the following community members shall be immediately unbanned and have full access restored to the official Onyx Telegram group (t.me/Onyx) and all related DAO communication channels:
- **Rhino / Nuclear (@xplo333)**
- **Papa John (@PappaJohn45)**
- **Name Name (@Name_Name111)**
- **Marky Marc**
- **Joe Peay**
- **Vladimir Putin**
For full transparency, complete transcriptions of all moderation incidents leading to these bans are documented and available for community review. The community can judge for themselves whether the cited reasons ("fud, racism, and constant spam") were accurate descriptions of the actual conduct.
All six were banned in sequence for raising legitimate governance concerns or defending others who did. No community rule was cited at the time of any ban that justified permanent exclusion. Message histories were permanently deleted by individuals the community never elected.
These unbans are not conditional. They are not subject to review by the individuals who issued the original bans. They are immediate, full, and permanent — subject only to the same community rules that apply to every other member going forward.
Any re-banning of these individuals without a documented rule violation cited at the time of the ban and a community poll approving the action will be treated as retaliation and a governance violation.

## Compliance with United States Law
All actions proposed in this poll shall be executed in full compliance with applicable United States federal and state law, including but not limited to:
- **Securities Law:** All token transfers, smart contract deployments, and governance restructuring shall comply with applicable SEC guidance on digital assets and DAO governance
- **Anti-Money Laundering (AML):** All new MultiSig signers must pass AML screening. The independent security auditor must be registered and compliant with U.S. AML regulations
- **Identity Verification:** All MultiSig signers holding treasury access must complete identity verification through an independent third-party provider prior to assuming signing authority. Verification confirms the signer is a real, unique individual — it does not require public disclosure of personal information. Verified identities are held under seal by the independent auditor and disclosed only under court order or in the event of documented fiduciary breach. No signer's personal information will be made public. No candidate receives treasury access until verification is complete. This requirement applies equally and without exception to every proposed signer including Chain.com's representative and the DAO official.
- **Fiduciary Responsibility:** MultiSig signers accept fiduciary responsibility for treasury assets upon accepting their seat. Misuse, unauthorized transfers, or failure to execute community-approved governance actions may constitute breach of fiduciary duty under applicable law
- **Tax Compliance:** All compensation (Chain quarterly payments, ambassador compensation, grants) must be structured with appropriate tax reporting. Recipients are responsible for their own tax obligations
- **Contractual Enforcement:** The smart contract reversion, 5-of-9 deployment, and all signer changes shall be executed through legally recognizable mechanisms. If any provision requires additional legal structuring to be enforceable under U.S. law, Chain.com is responsible for obtaining legal counsel and implementing the necessary framework as part of their restructured compensation
- **Dispute Resolution:** Any dispute arising from the implementation of this poll shall be resolved under United States law, with jurisdiction in the state where Chain.com is incorporated
- **Decentralization Alignment:** Nothing in this compliance framework shall be interpreted to centralize authority, restrict community voting rights, or concentrate power in any single entity, jurisdiction, or legal structure. U.S. law compliance serves as a baseline for accountability — not a mechanism for control. The DAO remains a decentralized, community-governed protocol. Legal compliance strengthens decentralization by ensuring that the individuals entrusted with treasury access, signing authority, and operational roles are held to verifiable standards — not by subjecting the community's governance rights to centralized legal gatekeeping.
No provision of this poll shall be interpreted to require or permit any action that violates United States law. If any specific provision is found to conflict with applicable law, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to achieve compliance while preserving the intent of the community vote. All remaining provisions continue in full force.

## If Implementation Is Blocked
This poll acknowledges that the current 3-of-5 MultiSig may refuse to execute its own restructuring. This refusal is anticipated and accounted for.
If the current MultiSig signers refuse to implement the results of this community vote within 7 days:
1. **The refusal itself becomes the evidence.** A MultiSig that refuses to execute a community mandate is not a guardian — it is proof of the centralization this poll sought to correct. This will be publicly documented and distributed to all holders, media, and regulatory contacts.
2. **Chain.com faces a choice.** As both a MultiSig signer and the lead developer launching Goliath on March 27, Chain can either act as a neutral executor of community will or be permanently documented as complicit in blocking democratic governance. A blockchain launched against the documented wishes of its community is not decentralized and will be represented as such to investors, partners, and regulators.
3. **Legal escalation.** The U.S. compliance framework in this poll establishes fiduciary responsibility for MultiSig signers. Refusal to execute a community mandate while continuing to collect compensation from the treasury may constitute breach of fiduciary duty. Legal consultation will be initiated.
4. **Community migration.** If governance cannot be reformed from within, the community reserves the right to coordinate a migration to an independent governance structure, fork, or alternative protocol. The 60,000+ holders are the ecosystem — not the five signers who control the wallet.
5. **Investor and regulatory notification.** Chain raised $40M+ from institutional investors. Those investors were told they were funding a decentralized protocol. A MultiSig that refuses community governance is material information relevant to those investment representations.
The community prefers cooperation. These escalation paths exist only if cooperation is refused. The choice belongs to the current signers.

## Immediate Implementation — No OIP Required
This poll, if passed with quorum, shall be implemented immediately and directly without requiring a separate OIP, ratification vote, or additional governance approval of any kind.
The current OIP process is controlled by the same individuals this poll seeks to remove. Requiring an OIP to remove MultiSig signers means asking the MultiSig signers to approve their own removal. That is not governance. That is asking the lock to unlock itself.
- The MultiSig Guardian was established through OIP-62 — a bundled omnibus proposal that combined the MultiSig with staking rates, marketing budgets, DAO registry, and ambassador funding in a single yes/no vote. The community was never given the option to vote on the MultiSig structure independently.
- The individuals being removed (Shawn, VT, AstroDaze) hold the operational roles AND the treasury keys that control the OIP execution process. They cannot be both the subjects of removal AND the executors of that removal.
- OIP-62 itself states the MultiSig Guardians "will be evaluated and voted by the community quarterly." This poll IS that community evaluation — and proposes extending the evaluation cycle to bi-annually under the new structure to allow sufficient time for signers to demonstrate performance.
**Therefore:**
- This poll bypasses all OIP creation thresholds, ratification requirements, and execution queues.
- Upon reaching quorum and majority approval, the results are binding. Signer removal, role changes, unbanning, and process initiation must begin within 7 days. The new 5-of-9 smart contract deployment follows the 14-day community review period before any treasury funds are transferred.
- Chain.com, as the remaining MultiSig signer and lead developer, is responsible for executing the signer removal and initiating the 5-of-9 restructure. Upon restructure completion, Chain's compensation shall be reformed from the current 200,000,000 XCN monthly payment to 100,000,000 XCN paid quarterly (400M XCN annually, down from 2.4B annually).
- Any delay, obstruction, or refusal to implement the results of this poll will be publicly documented and treated as a governance violation.
- If implementation is blocked by current MultiSig signers, this constitutes proof that the MultiSig is being used to protect insiders rather than protect the protocol — validating every concern raised in this proposal.
This reform takes effect upon restructure completion — not before. Chain's current compensation continues uninterrupted through the Goliath mainnet launch and the 14-day smart contract review period. No development funding is reduced until the new governance structure is operational. Goliath is not affected.
The community does not need permission from the people it is holding accountable. That is the entire point.
If only one poll passes: the provisions of that poll are implemented independently. If Poll 1 passes and Poll 2 does not, the MultiSig restructure proceeds under current voting rules. If Poll 2 passes and Poll 1 does not, voting restrictions and quorum changes take effect under the current MultiSig structure. Neither outcome creates instability — both improve governance independently.
