Player governance · Community

The Genesis Council.

Players have a seat at the table.

The Genesis Council is a player-elected advisory body that shapes how Genesis Engine develops. Elected by players. Advising on the decisions that matter.

The structure

What the Council is.

The Genesis Council is a body of elected player representatives. Members are chosen by the Web3 gaming community. They advise on platform priorities, surface concerns from the player base, and review proposed changes that affect how Genesis Engine works.

The Council exists because Web3 gaming infrastructure decisions affect players directly. Custody design, marketplace rules, dispute handling, recovery policies — these are not just engineering choices. Players should have structured input.

The Council does not run Genesis Engine. Triolith Games AB does. The Council advises, challenges, and represents. The team builds and ships.


The model

Why this structure works.

Most player governance in Web3 is symbolic. Token votes with low turnout and no real access. Councils that advise on nothing consequential.

The Genesis Council is built differently. Members see the platform roadmap before it ships. They sit in the room where decisions are made. They sign NDAs because what they see is real. The structure only works if the access is real. Ours is.

Player governance only works when the structure is real.


The role

What Council members do.

01

Advise on platform priorities

Members see the platform roadmap before public release. They flag concerns, propose changes, and represent the player base in priority discussions.

02

Review proposed changes

Significant changes to custody, marketplace, fees, or dispute handling are shared with the Council before they ship. Members can request reconsideration or escalation.

03

Surface community concerns

When the player base hits a real issue — broken mechanics, unfair outcomes, opaque decisions — Council members raise it directly with the team.

04

Sign NDAs where needed

Pre-release roadmap discussions and sensitive operational decisions are confidential. Members sign NDAs covering specific scopes and timeframes. Pre-release discussions stay confidential until the team is ready to ship.


The process

How elections work.

Elections run twice a year. Any player on Genesis Engine can nominate themselves or another player. Voting is open to the platform's verified player base.

01

Nominations open

Players nominate candidates over a two-week window. Nominees submit a short platform statement.

02

Candidate review

Triolith reviews nominees for basic eligibility — active on platform, no fraud history, willing to sign NDAs. No platform veto on positions, only eligibility.

03

Voting

Verified players vote over a two-week window. Each player has one vote per seat.

04

Council seated

The top vote-getters take their seats. Terms run six months. Members can stand for re-election.


The members

Current Council.

Election dates are not yet set. The first Genesis Council vote will run after Genesis Engine launches and the platform has active players. The schedule, application window, and nomination form will be published here when timing is firm.

Questions

Common questions.

Is the Genesis Council a DAO?
No. The Council is a player-elected advisory body, not a token-governance DAO. Members are elected players. Decisions are advisory — the team retains operational control of Genesis Engine. There is no governance token.
Do Council members get paid?
Members receive travel and accommodation costs for in-person summits. No salary. The role is advisory and time-limited.
Can anyone vote?
Voting is open to verified players on Genesis Engine. Verification means: completed platform KYC, active in at least one game on the platform, no fraud or abuse history.
How long are terms?
Six months. Members can stand for re-election. There is no term limit, but elections happen every cycle.
Does the Council have veto power?
No. The Council advises and challenges. It does not have a veto. Significant decisions are reviewed with the Council before release, but final authority sits with Triolith Games AB.
