Security & Anti-Abuse Measures

Mechanisms to ensure proposal quality and voting integrity in the governance system.

Security & anti-abuse measures

Proposal quality control

Development team pre-screening: Technical feasibility and alignment verification.
Spam prevention: Rate limiting, veARITECT requirements, and veARITECT bond.
Duplicate detection: Automated similarity checking.
Community flagging: Mechanism for reporting inappropriate proposals.

Voting integrity

Token separation: veARITECT (governance) is completely independent from $ARITECT (economic), eliminating DeFi-based attacks.
Non-transferable voting power: veARITECT cannot be sent, sold, wrapped, or delegated.
Sybil resistance: veARITECT requires genuine ecosystem participation, making fake accounts expensive to maintain.
Coordination prevention: Commit-reveal process hides votes until reveal phase, preventing last-minute coordination.
Active participation requirement: Decay mechanism ensures governance power remains with active participants.
Transparency requirements: All votes publicly verifiable on Solana blockchain.

Attack vector elimination

Attack type	Prevention mechanism
DeFi lending	veARITECT independent from $ARITECT
Vote buying	veARITECT non-transferable
Wrapper contracts	veARITECT non-wrappable
Exchange custody	veARITECT earned through participation only
Flash loans	veARITECT requires long-term engagement
Inactive accumulation	5% monthly decay
Proposer bankruptcy	20% monthly loss cap
