Kaia Community Committee open call for applications
In January, we proposed the chain merge of Klaytn and Finschia, and are currently working on the launch of Kaia. Kaia is committed to building Asia’s largest governance based on decentralization and interoperability. To achieve this, we are introducing Kaia’s Community Committee to serve as a catalyst for more community participation and checks and balances.
The Kaia Community Committee is a subset of the Kaia Governance Council, which is responsible for developing and executing new projects and initiatives using community ideas. By working in conjunction with the Governance Council, which has limited participation from smaller communities or individuals, the Community Committee is expected to make a significant contribution to building a more empowered and autonomous Kaia ecosystem.
Community Committees are organized into two main groups: Chairman and Members. Chairman applicants are responsible for organizing the members of the committees they want to join, and publicly submit their proposals, including ideas and budgets, to the forum. After a first round of review, the finalized proposal will be put to a vote by the Governance Council. If passed, the Community Council will begin operating under that proposal for a period of one year, with the official launch of Kaia Chain, which may vary depending on the voted proposal content. More details can be found in the full proposal.
As we aim to build the largest governance chain in Asia, the Kaia ecosystem needs more ideas and participation from the community. We look forward to your interest and participation in the Community Committees program and hope to build a robust Kaia ecosystem together.
