We've Structured Our DAO's "Organizational Framework"

We’ve Structured Our DAO’s “Organizational Framework” — Membership System Launch

Transparency Report • DAO Operations #001 • May 2026

The Age of Exploration DAO had been operating with a somewhat ambiguous organizational structure despite calling itself a “DAO.” In April 2026, we finalized this structure and officially launched our membership system.

5-Tier Membership System Launched

We now have 5 tiers: L1 Mate (Experience) / L2 Crew (Ongoing Contribution) / L3 Navigator (Operations Participation) / L4 Duke & L5 Archduke (Core & Ultimate Responsibility).

🛟 Separating “Experience” from “Contribution”

We’ve designed a system with a low barrier to entry but high commitment for those who want it. Anyone can easily dip their toes in the water first, and those who want to continue can get deeply involved.

🧭 Redefining Our Community

Our previous core crew and the new L3 Navigators have been restructured as equals working together to steer the ship.

📜 Grand Design v0.3

The core team discussed and reached consensus on rules for point systems and treasury allocation.


A Word from the DAO: This was a month focused on organizing our actual operations rather than appearances.
