Alterna Assembly

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

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

Alterna Assembly's current role includes the following:

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

• implementing the Snapshot voting mechanism on Alterna; and

• managing the Community Token Pool.

Community Token Pool

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

Alterna 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.
