📜 **MotusDAO Governance and Transparent Treasury**

MotusDAO is committed to a transparent, collaborative governance system that empowers every Mental Health Professional (PSM) to actively participate in decision-making, fostering an equitable and knowledge-driven community.

#### **Inclusive and Collaborative Participation**

At MotusDAO, we believe in an inclusive governance model where every PSM has the opportunity to influence community decisions equitably. Our approach ensures that each PSM’s voice is heard and valued, with active participation and knowledge as the key factors determining influence within the community.

#### **How $PSY Tokens Work in MotusDAO**

**UBI Tokens (Universal Basic Income):**

* **Reward for Commitment:** As a PSM in MotusDAO, you’ll receive UBI $PSY tokens that compensate you for your active participation in community functions. Whether you’re providing clinical services, contributing to discussion groups, or supporting new members, every contribution is acknowledged and rewarded.
* **Incentive for Ongoing Involvement:** The more you engage in MotusDAO activities, the more $PSY tokens you earn. This system is designed to motivate continuous involvement and strengthen your commitment to the community’s well-being.

**Governance Tokens:**

* **Knowledge-Based Influence:** In addition to UBI tokens, MotusDAO distributes governance tokens, $MOT, to PSMs who demonstrate advanced training and up-to-date knowledge. These tokens enable you to participate in significant decision-making processes, ensuring that the most prepared members have a greater voice in governance.
* **Validated Expertise:** To earn $MOT tokens, PSMs can showcase their expertise through courses, certifications, or specific assessments. This process guarantees that MotusDAO decisions are informed by a solid and professional understanding of relevant topics.

#### **Participating in Governance**

**Informed and Equitable Voting:**

* **Knowledge-Based Decisions:** In MotusDAO, only PSMs holding governance tokens participate in key votes, ensuring that each decision is backed by well-founded knowledge, protecting the integrity of our community.
* **Balanced Decision-Making:** Each member distributes their votes proportionally across options rather than casting a single vote. This approach reflects both commitment and expertise, preventing any single voice from dominating while promoting well-rounded decisions.

**Rewards for Active Participation**

* **Incentives for Voting:** PSMs who actively engage in voting and demonstrate strong knowledge of the topics discussed can receive additional UBI tokens as a reward. This structure ensures that informed and committed participation is recognized and rewarded within the community.

#### **A Growth and Collaboration-Oriented Environment**

MotusDAO is designed to be a space where all Mental Health Professionals contribute meaningfully to the community’s development and sustainability. Through an inclusive and knowledge-based governance system, we ensure that each decision is informed and fair, fostering an environment of growth and collaboration for all members.
