DAO & Governance

Skatehive operates as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) with treasuries on both Hive and Ethereum. The community collectively manages resources and makes decisions.

🏛️ Overview​

Skatehive governance spans two blockchains:

  • Hive: Community voting, rewards, witness
  • Ethereum (Base): NFT auctions, treasury, proposals

The DAO page shows treasury assets and governance links.
