ARK announces the launch of the DAO governance system, opening a new chapter of decentralized governance and AI co-governance

As decentralized finance (DeFi) continues to merge with artificial intelligence (AI), the on-chain civilization protocol ARK (ARK DeFAI) announced that it will officially launch its DAO governance system (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) on October 12, 2025, at 07:00 UTC, entering a new phase of "AI × DAO Co-Governance."

This move is seen by the industry as the most significant institutional upgrade since ARK's launch, symbolizing the protocol's transition from "mechanism-driven" to "intelligent co-governance," further realizing a new paradigm of "human-machine collaboration" in decentralized governance.

Governance Upgrade: From Algorithmic Logic to Collective Wisdom

Since its launch, ARK has been advancing with a modular economic architecture and an AI decision-making engine, aiming to create a "civilization protocol" driven by data, models, and calculations.

With the introduction of the DAO governance system, every staked $ARK token will become a governance unit, allowing token holders to directly participate in proposals, voting, and collectively shape the future direction of the protocol.

It is understood that ARK's governance structure will be supported by an in-built Consensus AI Layer, which will provide decision-making support. The AI model will track voting participation rates, policy simulations, and risk parameters in real-time, offering neutral advice and early warnings to the DAO, ensuring that the decision-making process is transparent and verifiable.

ARK DAO Governance Committee Chairman Carmelo Ippolito stated:

"Decentralization is not the disappearance of power, but the popularization of participation.

Through DAO governance, ARK practices the concept of Ark civilization—allowing the system to self-calculate, enabling citizens to co-govern, and generating fairness through algorithms rather than power distribution."

Industry observers point out that ARK's "dual-core governance structure"—where AI models provide suggestions and human citizens are responsible for decision-making—may become a model for future DeFi governance.

Self-Evolving Civilization Protocol: From Modules to Society

The launch of ARK's DAO is an important milestone following the deployment of several core modules.

These include the EM smart token issuance module, RBS market stabilization module, YRF yield buyback module, MCL minting cap monitoring module, and RCM operational cycle control module, providing a stable and sustainable economic cycle for the protocol.

Subsequently, the addition of the governance layer will endow the protocol with the ability for "self-evolution," allowing the overall structure to continuously correct and upgrade through citizen voting and AI simulations, moving towards a truly "dehumanized" financial civilization.

Analysis indicates that ARK, through the integrated design of "democratic consensus × intelligent decision-making × full-chain transparency," has advanced the automated mechanisms of traditional DeFi to the level of "autonomous civilization," forming an on-chain social structure capable of self-monitoring, self-correcting, and self-replicating.

Community Governance Integration and Human-Machine Co-Governance Process

According to the official announcement, the DAO governance system will officially open on October 12 at 07:00 UTC, allowing all eligible stakers to log into the ARK official portal to participate in the first round of voting.

The initial proposals will focus on protocol parameter adjustments and treasury strategy optimization, laying the foundation for subsequent governance proposals.

At the same time, ARK also announced the formal integration of the Community Governance System into the DAO structure, achieving a "bottom-up" global governance model.

Through workshops, node representatives, and regional proposal systems, global citizens can submit suggestions and participate in voting, which will ultimately be summarized and executed by the DAO.

This mechanism structures the governance process into three layers: "intelligent decision-making × citizen voting × community consensus," officially entering the era of "Human-AI Co-Governance."

About ARK DeFAI

ARK is the world's first modular protocol civilization that combines AI (artificial intelligence) and DeFi (decentralized finance), deployed on the BNB Chain.

Its economic structure consists of five core modules (EM, RBS, YRF, MCL, RCM) and two supporting systems (POL, ATS), with the Consensus AI Layer serving as the governance hub.

Since its genesis launch in 2025, ARK has been committed to building a sustainable, self-evolving, and manipulation-resistant financial civilization, centered on the core philosophy of "decentralization × intelligent governance × modular economy."
