Proposal summary:
This proposal aims to assess the need for and, if necessary, to establish a security committee for the Realtoken DAO. This committee would be responsible for responding quickly to emergency situations in order to protect the DApps in the ecosystem.
The purpose of this vote is to validate or not the creation of a security committee, if the vote is positive, a new detailed proposal will be made to clearly define the selection process for participants and the framework.
Another vote will be made for the approval of participants
Motivation:
The security of our ecosystem is paramount, but the traditional voting processes of the DAO are too slow to effectively respond to immediate threats. A security committee would allow for a rapid and coordinated reaction in case of emergency.
Context:
The traditional voting processes of the DAO are too slow (minimum 8 days) to effectively respond to immediate threats. A security committee would allow for a rapid and coordinated reaction in case of emergency.
Example of member selection criteria and responsibilities:
Committee composition:
- About 10 members, distributed across different time zones
- Selection based on blockchain expertise, understanding of Smart Contracts, and availability
Responsibilities:
Continuous monitoring of ecosystem security
Writing clear and concise reports on emergency situations
Activation of the "emergency button" in case of imminent threat
Powers:
Use of a multi-signature Gnosis Safe to execute emergency actions
Ability to freeze RMM, YAM, Bridge, and other future DApps
No power beyond activating predefined emergency measures
Process:
Drafting an alert message in the committee group
Activation of emergency measures by the committee
Proposal of solutions by the committee, RealT or other provider to the DAO to correct identified issues
Unfreezing only after a DAO vote through the traditional voting process
Member selection criteria:
Expertise in blockchain and smart contracts
Ability to verify and validate transactions on a Gnosis Safe
Communication skills and report writing
Active presence on social networks of the crypto ecosystem in general to detect hacks of other protocols that could impact us by being vulnerable as well
Future evolution:
- Possibility to extend the committee's responsibilities by DAO decision
Implementation steps:
- Discussion on the governance forum
- DAO vote to approve the creation of the committee
- If accepted, creation of a new proposal to define the committee's operating conditions and member eligibility conditions
- Approval of the committee's operating conditions and participation
- Call for applications and selection of members
- Discussion on the governance forum to define if the committee is elected on a single vote or a vote per candidate
- Setup of the Gnosis Safe and definition of emergency procedures
- Training of committee members
- Official launch of the security committee
Team:
- RealT for setting up the committee and managing the Gnosis Safe and training members
- DAO for member selection and management of the voting process
Budget:
- Potential remuneration of committee members (to be discussed)
Roadmap:
- Discussion on the governance forum for or against committee activation - 1 week
- DAO vote to approve the creation of the committee - 7 days
- If accepted, creation of a new proposal to define the committee's operating conditions and member eligibility conditions - 1-3 weeks
- Approval of the committee's operating conditions and participation by Onchain vote - 7 days
- Call for applications and selection of members - 1-2 weeks
- Discussion on the governance forum to define if the committee is elected on a single vote or a vote per candidate - 1 week
- Setup of the Gnosis Safe and definition of emergency procedures - 1 week
- Training of committee members - 1 week
- Official launch of the security committee
Objectives:
- Reduce reaction time in case of emergency
- Improve ecosystem security
- Strengthen reactive governance
- Decentralize ecosystem security
- Transparency on critical events in the ecosystem
Success metrics:
- Reaction time in case of emergency
- Number of incidents avoided or mitigated
- Quality and clarity of emergency reports
- Community feedback on the sense of security
Alignment with the mission:
This proposal aligns with the Realtoken DAO's mission by strengthening ecosystem security and enabling more reactive governance in the face of immediate threats.
Key terms:
- Security committee: A group of people responsible for monitoring ecosystem security and reacting in case of emergency.
- Gnosis Safe: A smart contract used to execute transactions in case of emergency to block the execution of impacted DApps.
- Emergency button: A feature that allows freezing DApps in case of emergency.
Points to discuss:
- Relevance of the committee
- Distribution around the world and minimum number of essential people
