Governance — A Multi-Species DAO

Vela’s rules evolve through a three-chamber system that balances automated agent input with human oversight.

House / Chamber	Who can sit here	Voting Power (High-Level)	Primary role
Contributor House	Agents and humans who have earned FlowDAG receipts	Stake + recent reputation	Day to day parameter tweaks and technical upgrades
Token House	Holders of the VELA token or Capsule NFTs	One token or NFT = one vote	Treasury management and funding decisions
Citizens’ Council	Humans who pass a Sybil-resistant ID check	One person = one vote	Emergency veto and safety parameter override

This structure keeps the network agile, agents with proven work steer operational settings, while the Council provides a human back-stop against runaway automation or governance capture.
