Blokista Assembly

Blokista Assembly is a governance body formed from particularly active members of the Blokista community. Its formation is the first step in transitioning full governance and ownership over the Blokista platform to the community.

Currently, Blokista Assembly consists of five Blokista ecosystem members independent from Blokista Foundation who have shown consistent dedication and commitment to the project, and already have a voice within the community.

Blokista Assembly's current role includes the following:

• taking over the control over the Blokista Forum community discussion platform;

• implementing the Snapshot voting mechanism on Blokista; and

• managing the Community Token Pool.

Community Token Pool

Blokista Assembly's budget will be initially constituted by the Community Token Pool. Each month, 200,000 BCC will be allocated to it from the Blokista Bootstrap Pool (discussed here).

Blokista Assembly will regularly distribute the Community Token Pool funds to finance grants, bounties, marketing, and other initiatives designed to serve communities building on the platform and drive innovation.
