Mātou Collective is a DAO working to enable self-determination, economic sovereignty, and digital participation for communities through digital technologies (including Tribal DAOs for discreet communities).

This Mātou Collective DAO Blueprint is a strategic outline of the systems, process and documentation required to establish the DAO. It serves as both the design document, describing the requirements for implementation and rules and culture for community cooperation.

🌱 Core Purpose

1. Build a resilient, independent economic system that focuses on serving communities and collective wellbeing.
2. Develop a durable and adaptable governance system that respects cultural practises, represents the collective values of the community engaged in developing and deploying digital technologies and supports individual and collective autonomy.
3. Create an easy and efficient contribution system that enables community members to make meaningful and valued contributions to this shared purpose.

📜 Key Components

1. Governance Model 🧭

The Mātou Collective Governance Model introduces a proposal and decision making system that enables contributors to shape a shared culture and purpose ****for the collective while being grounded in culture and community.

The Governance Model outlines the division of decision making into Three Houses which include,

• Community House – represents the strategic voices of community representatives and tribal collectives.
• Contributor House – includes developers, educators, and operational teams who execute on the DAO’s projects.
• Elders Council – safeguards cultural integrity, holds veto power, and ensures decisions align with collective culture and values.

The model is polycentric, inclusive, and culturally grounded, blending on-chain decision-making with traditional governance structures.

The model is implemented by Contributors who perform key roles within the system and Rules that provide clear guidance and limitations to enable transparency and safety.
