Project & Team
Description of Project
RIZE is the utility token for access, coordination, and governance participation within an institutional tokenization and collaborative intelligence ecosystem developed by T-RIZE Group.
The ecosystem is supported by a Governance Treasury overseen by the CarbonZero Foundation to help develop approved workflows, participation, and ecosystem growth.
RIZE may be locked to access approved workflows, used for selected infrastructure, services, models, outputs, or premium workflows, and used to qualify approved contributors for incentive allocations based on measured contribution.
The ecosystem is being deployed for Canton-based institutional workflows and is designed to support broader approved tokenization and intelligence use cases over time.

DAO Structure
- (a) IP ownership & control — State what IP the DAO owns or controls (e.g., codebases/repos, trademarks/brands). Note any license if relevant.
- (b) Contract/admin powers — List on-chain or administrative authorities and limits: pause/upgrade roles (e.g., multisig pause), governance-executor authorities, and the method of authority for each (e.g., veto, majority, super-majority).
- (c) Locked-token rights (conditional) — If locking/staking for additional rights exists, explain the additional rights and what tokenholders can and cannot decide. If no locking mechanism exists, leave absent.
- (d) Current tokenholder governance rights and economic arrangements — If any, describe the current governance rights of tokenholders and any presently operative rights or arrangements relating to treasury actions, fee-routing, rewards, buybacks, or other protocol-controlled resources. If none, state that explicitly.
- (e) Control surface reliance — If any, briefly describe the anticipated or possible evolution of the protocol's governance/control model.
- (f) Dissolution authority — State who can dissolve/wind up the DAO and by what mechanism (e.g., on-chain vote threshold, board resolution of a legal wrapper).
(a) IP ownership & control
A formal DAO does not exist. Tokenholders do not have IP ownership or IP control rights.
(b) Contract/admin powers
A formal DAO does not exist. Tokenholders do not have contract or admin powers.
(c) Locked-token rights (conditional)
RIZE bonding allows tokenholders to accumulate maturity-weighted voting power, which may be used as an input to calculate ecosystem incentive allocations.
(d) Current tokenholder governance rights and economic arrangements
RIZE tokenholders do not currently have governance rights over treasury actions, fee-routing, rewards, buybacks, or other protocol-controlled resources.
(e) Control surface reliance
A formal DAO does not exist. Specific proposal-based voting is expected to be introduced under future governance processes.
(f) Dissolution authority
A formal DAO does not exist. Tokenholders do not have dissolution authority.

- (d) Powers over DevCo — Explain whether the Foundation can exert direct or indirect influence over decision-making of the Developer Company.
- (e) Contract/admin powers — Pause/upgrade/governance-executor authorities and the method/threshold for each (e.g., veto/majority/super-majority; "3/5 multisig").

Definition: Unissued Supply = tokens authorized by the contract but not yet issued to any party; where they sit (treasury or mint authority) does not change that they are unissued. For instance: if a token has a total supply cap of 1B, and 400M tokens have been issued to investors, the team, and users (whether vested or unlocked), then those 400M count as issued supply. The remaining 600M are authorized but unissued supply, even if they are already minted into a DAO treasury wallet.
