SwissBorg’s governance body, known as the Guardians, has put forward a proposal to simplify how the community decides what happens with BORG tokens accumulated through platform buybacks. The change would reduce voting options from four to three, with the headline addition being a permanent DAO Fund designed to provide steady, ongoing support to the broader BORG ecosystem.
A community vote on the proposal closed on June 14, 2026. Participation required users to lock or stake their BORG tokens within the app to earn voting power, a mechanism that ties governance influence directly to skin in the game.
What’s actually changing
Every quarter, SwissBorg’s Guardians Pool, which gets funded through buybacks from platform profits, distributes BORG tokens based on a community vote. Token holders currently choose between four allocation buckets: Burn, Safety Net, Governance Rewards, and Special Initiative.
The proposed system trims that to three options. The most notable shift is the introduction of a permanent DAO Fund as one of those three choices, replacing the more ad hoc nature of some previous categories.
