KINGDOM Launch: How NFT Holders Shape the Roadmap

Why This Is Important?

Most NFT projects get bogged down because decisions are made off-chain or in closed discussions. KINGDOMbrings decisions (verifiable, replayable, auditable) while keeping holder participation simple. This means clearer priorities, increased community trust, and a utility loop that ties NFT possession to real outcomes.

What Is KINGDOM

KINGDOM is the governance layer for HBAR Hodl Ducks. If you hold a Duck and verify your wallet, you can:

  • Create proposals (within guidelines)
  • Vote on proposals with Duck-weight
  • Comment to create context, ask questions, and build consensus
The image displays a proposal interface regarding a potential"Galactic Voyage" theme for ducks, including a summary of votes and comments from users.

It is designed to be fast, transparent, and holder-first.

How It Works

1) Verification & Access

  • Connect your Hedera wallet on the governance site.
  • The system checks Duck possession (on Hedera) and unlocks KINGDOM functions.

2) Proposals

  • Any verified holder of a KINGDOM Duck can create proposals (Gold or Diamond Duck).
  • Proposal template includes: Title, Rationale, Expected Impact, Budget/Resources (if any), Timeline, Success Criteria, and Reviewer(s).

3) Voting

  • Voting power = Duck-weight. Each Duck = 1 voting unit (1 Duck = 1 vote).
  • Quorum: 100 Duck votes for a proposal to be “considered.”
  • Epoch length: ~26 days per proposal (open voting window).
  • Outcomes: Pass/Fail.

4) Comments & Discussion

  • Threaded comments under each proposal for context.
  • Most-liked comments are highlighted in “Summary” text boxes for late voters.

5) Transparency & Records

  • Each proposal has a permanent page with: why it was made, vote count, Duck-weight, on-chain references, and post-mortem.
  • Public audit log: creation → changes → completion.

Security note: Wallet signatures prove actions. No servers ever see private keys.

What Holders Can Influence

  • Roadmap priorities (what ships first)
  • Duck Reserve budget allocations (when appropriate)
  • Partnerships & co-marketing programs
  • Feature requests for Ducks Wallet / Ducks Vote
  • The structure of community events & giveaways

Roadmap (Q4 2025 → Q1 2026)

Q4 2025

  • KINGDOM public beta with proposal creation & voting
  • Commenting, notifications, quorums
  • Governance homepage with featured proposals & status

Dates are guidance; final timing will be determined by community votes and delivery readiness.

How to Participate (Step-by-Step)

The image displays a digital interface showing an account summary related to duck ownership, including a proposal section with options for governance and a voting system.
  1. Get a Duck on the marketplace (or use one you already own).
  2. Verify your wallet on the KINGDOM site.
  3. Read active proposals, check comments, ask questions.
  4. Cast your vote before the epoch ends.
  5. Watch results and track shipped items on the public roadmap.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Do I need multiple Ducks to vote?
A: No. 1 Duck = 1 vote. Possession of more Ducks gives proportionately greater influence.

Q: What if I sell my Duck during a vote?
A: Votes are counted at snapshot times. If you sell before the snapshot, your voting power may change. The final tally reflects ownership at the time of the snapshot.

Q: Can non-holders comment?
A: Reading is public. Commenting and suggesting require verified Duck ownership.

Q: Is this a token?
A: No. KINGDOM uses Duck NFTs as keys for governance. No token for governance.

Q: Where do I see results?
A: Each proposal page shows the live tally, quorum status, final results, and an immutable reference.

Governance Principles

  • Utility before hype: Governance that ships, not noise.
  • Transparency: Easy-to-understand rules, visible tallies, open archives.
  • Inclusivity: Low-friction participation for all holders.
  • Accountability: Proposers report progress; failed items get a post-mortem.
