MoatFund is managed by a smart contracts protocol on Ethereum Blockchain which is publicly accessible and that can govern the full ecosystem of fund managing functionalities. The protocol is not biased towards one group of users to benefit another. Every MoatUnit holder denotes the Proof of Membership (POM) in MoatFund and they have the right to vote for the MoatFund protocol updates assisting to build a decentralized governance.

Belfort penny-stock scam to Madoff investment scandal have demonstrated that these types of third-party risks are perceivable. Decentralized governance in fund management will eliminate these risks by providing a transparent and secure platform to investors through which they invest their funds trustfully, thereby delegating the burden of security on the community rather than to a single custodian.

Board Members plays a very important role in Implementing Decentralized Autonomous Structure. They will vote for each and every major operations occuring in MoatFund ecosystem.

Criterias for Board Members.

Rights of Board Members.

The border members will be the first to get informed about our internal activities and they have privileges to perform following 2 activities:

  • They can vote for other’s investment proposal.
  • They can initiate their own proposal.

Initially, the members will mostly be performing former task. We will educate them to propose their own idea to Board Members after the technology get more enhanced.

We want to make sure that the MoatFund ecosystem is not run by any single custodian (i.e. MoatFund team or someone else), it must be run by the community as a whole.

Can a board member lose his/her seat?

Yes, if the member doesn’t comply with the criterias as discussed above. The above rules are subject to change so the existing members also have to comply with latest changes.

What is the limit of Board Members?

Currently, we are limiting the Board Members seats to 20. However, it will increase as the ecosystem of MoatFund increases.

The following article explains the process of — How we are Implementing Decentralized Autonomous Structure in MoatFund.

Decentralized governance in fund management is an important progression from the ecosystem of centralized fund management for a few key reasons: decentralized ecosystem can provide stronger security guarantees to end users since there is no longer a central party which can run away with customer funds or be subjected to government regulations.
