We've rebranded! Aviator is now Airfox. Check out our Rebirth blog to learn more.

As we continue to expand our brand, increase our development scope, and hasten our work pace, we routinely perform regular audits with our law firm to ensure compliance with all federal and state laws governing New Mexico. As an American-founded company, we take pride in our locale and in our diligence to respect and adhere to all applicable regulations.

This is why we are changing something for the better: the Airfox DAO.

What IS changing​

With the help of our attorneys, we have developed an updated governance framework to increase transparency and further demonstrate the AFX token as a utility token. Here is what we are changing:

  • There will be no more direct voting on financial outcomes. This includes VC or institutional investments, marketing budgets, or other direct spending from the account.
  • We are opening proposal creation to everyone holding at least 10 million AFX tokens combined across all networks, there is still no direct voting on spending. Proposals should focus on platform rules, community incentives, development direction, feature requests, collaboration proposals, etc.
  • Assigned moderators will be able to remove proposals that contain vulgar language or graphic content.
  • In this article, an updated governance framework will replace the previous DAO Constitution.

Why these changes?​

As mentioned previously, we regularly conduct reviews of our procedures and rules with our firm-on-retainer. While these changes are simple, it is important to understand why these changes are being implemented, and what it means for our future pacing:

  • We are developing ecosystem builder programs to highlight and reward dedicated builders in the Airfox ecosystem, including but not limited to:
    • Applications, plugins, and interfaces for SkyBridge and Airfox Arcade.
    • Games, software, and utilities for Airfox Arcade.
    • Community artists, designers, and creators of physical, digital, or live performance creations.
  • It allows us to negotiate larger fundraising deals. This will rapidly accelerate platform development, adoption, and prestige in the industry.
  • It enables us to host private funding rounds for development and marketing.
  • We can reward users directly through SkyBridge and Airfox Arcade protocol usage, rather than direct revenue-sharing.
  • We can more transparently custody project reserve assets such as ETH, tokens, and stablecoins.

These changes reaffirm the status of the Airfox (AFX) token as a utility token servicing and governing Web3 applications, in which token rewards are derived directly from platform usage, not a form of equity or ownership of the company, or a direct obligation of revenue derived from the company, or as a common enterprise of pooled resources.

What is NOT changing​

Arguably more important than what is changing, is what is not changing. Below are important items that have not changed:

Official Addresses | Airfox Technologies, LLC Docs Official Addresses for Airfox Projects

  • For security, the Treasury still does not directly interact with third-party Dapps, with the exception of ENS domain management, and can only receive and send assets to EOAs.

We have already updated all project documentation and articles to reflect these changes.

Updated Governance Framework​

A DAO, or Decentralized Autonomous Organization, is a management structure that uses blockchain technology to automate certain aspects of voting and transaction processing. The Airfox DAO allows community members to propose and vote on community incentives, strategies, campaigns, platform rules, features to be developed, etc.

The Airfox DAO utilizes Snapshot for a transparent and accessible voting protocol.

To participate, visit the site, connect your wallet that holds AFX, and vote on the proposals available. Voting only requires a signature, which does not incur a gas fee. To be eligible for voting, users must hold AFX tokens before proposal publication. Voting power is determined by the amount of tokens held when each proposal is created.

Standard Procedures​

Project proposals will be presented on social media for discussion, and discussions will be hosted on the Airfox community Discord server. Users of other platforms are encouraged to host their own local discussions.

  • Proposal voting shall last 7 calendar days.
  • All proposals are non-binding.
  • There shall be no minimum quorum required for proposals to finalize.

Proposal Creation​

Ecosystem participants holding at least 10,000,000 AFX tokens across all chains may create and submit proposals for voting.

The Airfox treasury admins, as well as long-standing community members, can moderate proposals and remove those that contain offensive language or graphic content. Proposals involving direct financial outcomes are disallowed.

Community proposals from all holders can be submitted at any time to dao@aviator.ac. Selected proposals shall be presented to the community for discussion before the decision is made to publish them for DAO voting.

Lastly, we are very proud to be alongside Avalanche as the only Blockchain-based project to be fully platform-compliant and listed on the official itch.io public jam calendar.

This is cool and all, but can we see it yet??​

The last time we teased Airfox Arcade was around a year ago! Time certainly flies, and so do we. ✈️ You might remember seeing something like this...

Our original design concept from late 2023.

...we're proud to admit, we've been busy:

The fox has been busy 🦊
