Vote YES to unlock Kotopia's ~$500K treasury, fund a real game studio in Japan, and ship games in 2026 — or vote NO to shut down the DAO and leave the funds frozen forever.
YES — Keep Kotopia alive. Migrate to SOAR, unlock ~$500K, build a game studio in Japan, ship Hub, Skate, merch, and IRL events.
NO — Shut it down. DAO dissolves, ~$500K frozen forever, all dev stops, tokens become dead receipts.
Kotopia started as a Web3 experiment on Daosfun and has grown into the foundations of a real game and character studio: two games in active development (Kotopia World Hub and Kotopia World Skate), two core IP characters (KOTO and KAIOS), multiple surfaces spanning games, digital goods, physical merch, and IRL experiences, and 20+ relationship conversations active in Japan's gaming and creative community.
The core problem: our $400–500K treasury is effectively frozen. A Daosfun platform update locked all DAOs — including Kotopia — behind manual approval from the Daosfun team for every single transaction. This was extremely limiting during a period of heavy building and capital deployment. It didn't kill Kotopia, but it proved clearly that we have outgrown the current host platform.
Before asking anyone to vote, we need to address something openly: the largest token holder appears to be a wallet tied to the Daosfun protocol itself.
The wallet 9X6HPu83qZE9Fp5MVRdcg7vFHjcpKEkJSWbNj8rhAaVS holds an outsized share of supply. On-chain analysis links this address to the Daosfun program ID (SEDAZM4FqThZWv3QKWkSyXCDmATpWkpEiCHq5yhkdGWp).
This wallet appears to have sniped a significant portion of supply at launch and has continued to accumulate through automated buying. Whether this represents protocol-level treasury management or insider positioning is unclear — but the community deserves to know.
What this means for governance: if voting is purely token-weighted, this single wallet could control the outcome of any vote. This is exactly why migrating to SOAR — with proper multisig, transparent governance, and safeguards against concentration abuse — matters.
We're publishing this proactively because transparency is the foundation of legitimate governance. Any voting mechanism needs to account for this concentration — whether through snapshot-based voting, quadratic weighting, or excluding protocol-owned wallets from governance participation.
This is also part of why staying on Daosfun doesn't work. We cannot build fair governance on top of infrastructure where the platform itself may hold a controlling stake in our token.
You cannot build a Japanese game studio on top of a frozen, manually-gated U.S. AI-agent platform where the platform itself may hold a controlling position in your token. SOAR is the infrastructure that makes execution — and new investment — possible.
By end of 2026: Kotopia operates as a small but real game studio in Japan — legal entity and banking in place, a small core team, two live game experiences, an active merch line, 3–5 partnerships signed, and 1,000+ engaged community members.
YES = a working, shipping Kotopia studio in Japan within 12–18 months.
Treasury: approximately $400–500K USD. High-level deployment over 12–18 months:
Deploying this capital does two things: funds actual building and signals seriousness to new investors. A visible, governed, actively deployed treasury is far more attractive to backers than a frozen, idle one.
Technical migration begins. Agreement finalized.
Funds transferred under multisig governance controls.
Contracts deployed. Token holders verified on SOAR.
Community votes on Japan visa funding + dev priorities.
Japan ops, hiring, accelerated game development.
Key governance safeguards on SOAR:
For holders, YES means: real governance rights, transparent reporting, early access to games and drops, and exposure to the upside of a Japan-based game and IP studio with credible runway.
If NO wins: the $400–500K treasury remains frozen on legacy infrastructure. The Japan startup visa and studio plan die. Hub and Skate halt development. Merch production cannot be funded. Japan/East Asia momentum built over the last year evaporates. The core team disperses to other work. Token holder "equity" becomes a worthless digital receipt.
There is no realistic third path. This is SOAR or shutdown.
Yes. Funds move into a multisig with clear rules, on-chain visibility, and community oversight for major moves.
Clear 2026 roadmap: Japan studio, two games shipped, merch live, partnerships underway. Large expenditures go through governance, with regular reporting.
No. It directly fixes the core problem: frozen, manually-gated infrastructure. The IP, games, relationships, and plan already exist — SOAR is the missing operational layer.
The top holder wallet is tied to the Daosfun protocol — disclosed in Section 02. Any governance mechanism must account for this concentration through snapshot voting, quadratic weighting, or excluding protocol-owned wallets. Moving to SOAR gives us the tools to implement fair governance. Staying on Daosfun means accepting a system where the platform may control the vote.
Daosfun's pivot to AI agents is a strategic divergence. Their roadmap no longer supports game/IP studios, treasury access doesn't support operational deployment, and their infrastructure can't support Japan-based international operations.
Binary choice. No middle path. The community decides.
