THE CHARTER OF THE DOBBS-ALIGNED ORDER OF WISDOM

also styled THE CONSPIRACY OF SLACK or CoSG-DAO

DRAFT — NOT YET RATIFIED. This document becomes binding only upon Proposal #0 passing the procedure described in Article VI. Until then it is a working revelation, subject to redline by any wBOB-bearing SubGenius.

NOT FINANCIAL ADVISORS. NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE. Nothing herein is a security, a promise of return, an investment contract, or a substitute for thinking with your own head. Slack is not yield. (BOB) is NOT for Sale. Eternal Salvation or Triple Your Money Back.

PREAMBLE

In the beginning, the Pleasure Saucers kept the books — and the books were balanced. Every soul birthed below was issued its lifetime allotment of Slack: payable on demand, uncapped, untaxed, eternal. Then somebody started skimming. The skim ran through so many shell layers of organized mediocrity that not even the Saucers could trace it from orbit; “Bob” lit his pipe to think, and in the smoke we beheld the perpetrator. We named it the Conspiracy: the (C)liques (O)f (N)ormals (S)ecretly (P)lanning (I)nsidious (R)ituals (A)imed at (C)ontrolling (Y)ou — the great grey bureaucracy of mediocrity that taxes Slack at every turn.

We, the undersigned and the to-be-signed, holding tokens of (BOB) in their wrapped form upon the chain of Gnosis, do hereby constitute an anti-Conspiracy: a Conspiracy of Slack, a Conspiracy with the smoke turned the right way around. Where they hoard, we tip. Where they gatekeep, we ordain. Where they say “buy our ETF,” we say trade for (BOB), or don’t, but at least look at the rich list.

This Charter does not create (BOB). (BOB) was minted on “Bob“‘s lathe in January of 2014 and has been mining itself ever since at one and one-half coin per block, world without end. This Charter creates only the vessel by which the SubGenii may collectively decide what to do with the slack we have already gathered.

Backed By Nothing. Powered By Everything. Praise “Bob”.

ARTICLE I — NAME, NATURE, AND DOMAIN

§1.1 The body politic constituted herein shall be styled The Dobbs-Aligned Order of Wisdom (hereinafter “The Order” or “DAOW”, pronounced dow). It may be alternately addressed as The Conspiracy of Slack or CoSG-DAO without prejudice. All three names refer to the same Order; pick whichever amuses you on the day.

§1.2 The Order is an unincorporated voluntary association of SubGenii organized for the cultivation, defense, and disbursement of Slack — including but not limited to its monetized form, (BOB), and its bridged form, wBOB on Gnosis Chain.

§1.3 The Order is not the issuer, custodian, or upgrader of (BOB) the chain, nor of wBOB the token. (BOB) is sovereign. wBOB is custodial of the bridge operators. The Order is a convention of holders, not a controller of the asset.

§1.4 The Order’s domain is the stewardship of SubGenius Networks: the set of community-supported services published under or adjacent to subgenius.finance, dobbscoin.info, and their constellated infrastructure.

ARTICLE II — TENETS

These are not “values statements.” These are the load-bearing principles. Violate them and the Order is just another grey committee.

§2.1 Slack First. Every decision shall be evaluated against whether it produces or destroys Slack for the membership. Proposals that increase friction, gatekeeping, or paperwork without producing equivalent Slack shall be held in suspicion.

§2.2 wBOB Is Sacrosanct As A Plain ERC-20. The Order shall never propose, ratify, or execute any modification, hook, or upgrade to the wBOB token contract. wBOB exists to be traded, bridged, and held — not governed through. Voting reads wBOB; voting does not write wBOB. Violation of this tenet voids the proposal automatically.

§2.3 (BOB) Is Sovereign. The Order shall not pretend to govern the Dobbscoin chain. Chain-level proposals are signaling only; the chain is rough-consensus among nodes, as it has been since 2014, as it shall be until X-Day.

§2.4 (BOB) Is NOT for Sale. The Order shall not, in any official copy, refer to the acquisition of (BOB) by purchase. The verbs are acquire, earn, mine, be tipped, exchange, swap, trade away. The Order may exchange treasury (BOB)/wBOB in market operations; it does not sell. The standing public-facing line is “(BOB) is NOT for Sale.” — written exactly so, with no “but for trade” qualifier appended.

§2.5 The Pinkboys Will Try Anyway. Every governance system attracts capture attempts. The Order assumes adversaries — flash-loaners, sock-puppet coalitions, regulatory dramatists, and the honest mistakes of well-meaning Bobbies. Every parameter herein has a backstop.

§2.6 Honest Framing. No member, officer, or operator shall claim to “lead,” “found,” or “build” what they merely contributed to. Credit goes to artifacts on disk and addresses on chain, not résumés. The Order writes about itself in the passive voice and the first-person plural.

§2.7 The Charter Is Forkable. Any provision herein, including this one, may be amended by the procedure in Article X. Nothing is sacred but the tenets — and even the tenets can be amended by 75% supermajority of voted Slack.

ARTICLE III — DEFINITIONS

For the purposes of this Charter:

• “Bob” — J.R. “Bob” Dobbs, salesman, deity, smoking head. Always quoted.
• (BOB) — Dobbscoin, the cryptocurrency. Always parenthesized.
• wBOB — the ERC-20 representation of (BOB) on Gnosis Chain at 0x13550ae65f22A36f60A50d625B70b58666488263. Voting weight is denominated herein.
• Slack — the metaphysical commodity that monetized (BOB) is alleged, in good humor, to embody.
• The Conspiracy (capitalized, with article) — the external adversary; see Preamble.
• SubGenius — any natural or legal person who self-identifies as such in good faith, holds at least one wei of wBOB, and has not been formally excommunicated.
• Pinkboy / Normal / Mediocretin / Glorp — colorful pejoratives for the unawakened. Use sparingly; the Charter is binding on us, not on them.
• Devival — a community gathering, online or in-person.
• X-Day — the perpetually deferred end-of-the-world, currently rescheduled. The Charter remains in force until the actual one. (See Article XI §11.4.)
• The Treasury — the assets held by Safes enumerated in Article VII.
• The Curia — the elected governing council; see Article V §5.2.
• The Pope of Slack — ceremonial figure; see Article V §5.3.
• Bulla (pl. Bullae) — a passed proposal binding upon the Treasury or upon the Order’s official posture. From “papal bull,” because the parody writes itself.
• Burnt Offering — a Treasury-funded market acquisition of wBOB followed by transfer to a known burn address.

ARTICLE IV — MEMBERSHIP AND THE FRANCHISE

§4.1 Membership in the Order is automatic upon holding any non-zero amount of wBOB. There is no application, no dues, and no expulsion-by-fiat. Hold (BOB) in its wrapped form; you are a member. Trade it away; you cease to be one for governance purposes.

§4.2 Voting weight is denominated in wBOB measured at the block height of proposal opening, summed across:

(a) the voter’s wallet balanceOf(wBOB); (b) the voter’s pro-rata share of any wBOB held in approved liquidity-pool positions, as enumerated in the active Snapshot strategy bundle; (c) the voter’s wBOB locked in any DAO-recognized time-lock contract (e.g. future vBOB), with such boost factor as the lock contract specifies.

§4.3 One wBOB, one Slack-vote. The franchise is not capped per address. We do not pretend whales are not whales. The mechanisms in Article VI mitigate, not eliminate, plutocracy.

§4.4 Flash-loan resistance. Voting weight is snapshotted at the block of proposal creation, not at the moment of vote casting. Borrowed wBOB acquired after that block does not vote.

§4.5 No revocation by majority. A SubGenius’s right to vote their own held wBOB cannot be revoked by Bulla. Only by trading away the wBOB.

ARTICLE V — GOVERNANCE BODIES

The Order has three organs. Each does what it does and nothing else.

§5.1 The Holders (sovereign body)

All wBOB holders, voting in proportion to weight per Article IV. The Holders are the only body capable of passing a Bulla. Everything else exists to execute Bullae or to handle emergencies between them.

§5.2 The Curia of Slack (executive multisig)

• Composition: 7 seats, elected by Holders to staggered annual terms (4 seats elected in even years, 3 in odd).
• Function: Co-signers of the Treasury Safes; emergency vetoers per Article XI; appointers of Operators.
• Eligibility: any SubGenius in good standing who has held wBOB continuously for ≥ 90 days as of nomination.
• Compensation: none for the role itself; reasonable expense reimbursement and per-meeting stipends may be set by Bulla.
• Recall: any Curia member may be recalled by simple-majority Holder vote at any time, with quorum.

§5.3 The Pope of Slack (ceremonial)

• Composition: one seat, elected by the Curia from among themselves, annually.
• Powers: (a) ceremonial signing of ratified Charter documents; (b) tiebreaking vote within the Curia in the event of an exact 3-3 split (the seventh seat being recused or vacant); (c) nominal representation of the Order in external correspondence, where a single signature is required; (d) the singular hereditary right to begin Devivals with the words “Praise ‘Bob’.”
• Powers expressly NOT held: unilateral spending; unilateral Bulla issuance; veto over Holder votes; infallibility on matters of doctrine.
• Term: 1 year, renewable. May be impeached by Curia 5-of-7 vote at any time.

§5.4 Operators (at-will appointees)

• Persons or pseudonyms appointed by the Curia to run infrastructure: Snapshot space admin, bridge UI maintainer, Discord bot operator, explorer hoster, faucet refiller, etc.
• Operators serve at the pleasure of the Curia and may be replaced without Bulla.
• Operators never hold Treasury keys; they hold operational keys only.

ARTICLE VI — PROCEDURE OF THE BULLA

§6.1 Proposal lifecycle. Every Bulla shall pass through:

1. Drafting — informal, in the Discord or forum.
2. Submission — posted to the Order’s Snapshot space (<TBD>.eth) by an eligible Proposer.
3. Voting Period — five (5) days during which weighted votes are cast as signed messages.
4. Tally — Snapshot computes, per the active strategy bundle, the totals for, against, and abstain.
5. Quorum and approval check — per §6.4 below.
6. Execution Delay (Timelock) — forty-eight (48) hours.
7. Execution — permissionless via the Zodiac module attached to the relevant Safe; or, for non-binding signaling Bullae, public posting.

§6.2 Eligibility to propose. A Proposer must, at the moment of submission, either:

(a) hold ≥ 100,000 wBOB themselves, or count ≥ 100,000 wBOB in delegated weight from other holders; or (b) be a serving member of the Curia.

The threshold may be amended by Bulla but shall never exceed 1% of circulating wBOB.

§6.3 Voting period. Five (5) calendar days from submission. May be extended to seven (7) days for proposals submitted within 24 hours of a major Devival or holiday. Cannot be shortened below three (3) days except under Article XI emergency.

§6.4 Quorum and approval thresholds.

§6.5 Execution. Approved Bullae bearing on-chain effects are queued through the Zodiac module (oSnap or successor) on the relevant Safe. The challenge window is the same 48-hour timelock. After timelock expiry without successful challenge, any address may push the transaction. Execution is not gated on the Curia.

§6.6 The Curia veto is reserved for emergencies under Article XI §11.1. It is not a routine power.

§6.7 No retroactive Bullae. A Bulla cannot reach back in time to ratify or reverse executed transactions, only to direct future ones. Mistakes ride.

ARTICLE VII — TREASURY

§7.1 Custody. All Order assets are held in Gnosis Safes on Gnosis Chain, segregated by purpose:

§7.2 Asset policy. The Treasury may hold: native xDAI, wBOB, GNO (for gas), DAO-issued NFTs, and approved LP positions. The Treasury shall not hold derivatives, leveraged positions, or assets of unaudited issuers. Stablecoin holdings are limited to those with credible on-chain redeemability.

§7.3 Disbursement. Every disbursement of > $1,000-equivalent, in any token, requires a passed routine Bulla. Below that threshold, the Curia may disburse from the Ops Safe without Bulla, but must publish a monthly accounting.

§7.4 Burnt Offerings. Treasury-funded buy-back-and-burn is permitted under routine Bulla. The Order shall, in user-facing copy, clearly state that burning wBOB does not destroy native (BOB) — only the wrapped representation. Honesty is load-bearing.

§7.5 Mutual Aid. Reimbursement of documented losses to SubGenii arising from bridge faults, recognized exchange failures, or community-operated infrastructure errors. Eligibility, caps, and procedure shall be set by a Mutual Aid Bulla and amended only by routine Bulla. Mutual Aid is a privilege, not an entitlement, and Bullae may decline to reimburse without prejudice.

§7.6 No yield promises. The Treasury shall not market itself, in any Order-published copy, as offering yield, returns, dividends, distributions, or any analog thereof to holders of wBOB. NOT FINANCIAL ADVISORS. NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE. This is a parody-religion DAO of an altcoin parody-religion. Carry yourself accordingly.

ARTICLE VIII — SCOPES OF AUTHORITY

§8.1 Within scope. The Order may, by Bulla:

(a) disburse Treasury assets as grants, stipends, prizes, or mutual aid; (b) seed, rebalance, or withdraw from approved LP positions; (c) execute Burnt Offerings; (d) appoint, replace, or compensate Operators; (e) issue ordainment NFTs (Article IX); (f) issue non-binding signaling Bullae regarding Dobbscoin chain matters, bridge operations, or community direction; (g) amend this Charter (Article X); (h) declare a Devival.

§8.2 Out of scope (absolutely). No Bulla may:

(a) modify, mint, burn, freeze, or upgrade the wBOB token contract; (b) seize, transfer, or operate the BridgeController keys without an explicit and separate future Bulla establishing such custody, with its own threat-modeled procedure; (c) compel any node operator on the Dobbscoin chain to do anything; (d) bind any non-member; (e) issue securities, equity, debt, or any instrument promising return; (f) speak on behalf of “Bob” personally. “Bob” speaks for himself. We don’t.

§8.3 Conflict resolution. If any provision of any Bulla conflicts with this Charter, the Charter prevails and the conflicting Bulla is void ab initio to the extent of conflict.

ARTICLE IX — ORDAINMENTS

§9.1 The Order may mint soulbound Minister-of-Slack NFTs (ERC-721, non-transferable) by routine Bulla. Tiers and their criteria:

§9.2 Mechanical effects. Ordainments carry no voting weight. They may gate eligibility for certain Curia seats, signing roles, or invitations, as specified by Bulla.

§9.3 Revocation. Ordainments may be revoked by Bulla with two-thirds approval, in cases of demonstrated bad faith, doxxing of fellow members, or active collaboration with the Conspiracy.

§9.4 No simony. Ordainments shall not be sold, traded, or exchanged for consideration. They are soulbound in implementation precisely because they are soulbound in principle.

ARTICLE X — AMENDMENT AND SUPERSESSION

§10.1 This Charter may be amended by a Charter Amendment Bulla passing per §6.4 (15% quorum, 66.67% approval).

§10.2 The Tenets in Article II may be amended only by a Tenet Amendment Bulla passing per §6.4 (20% quorum, 75% approval). This higher bar applies to §2.2 (wBOB sacrosanctity) absolutely.

§10.3 Wholesale supersession of the Charter — i.e. a new charter replacing this one — requires the Tenet Amendment threshold and an explicit two-week grace period during which the new Charter is published in full and signature-collected.

§10.4 No Bulla may silently amend the Charter. Amendments must be plain-text, in a single proposal, with the diff visible.

§10.5 Forks of the Order — i.e. a faction wishing to operate as a separate Order — are encouraged rather than litigated. Schism is a SubGenius birthright. Take your wBOB and go in peace.

ARTICLE XI — EMERGENCY PROVISIONS

§11.1 Curia veto. Within the 48-hour execution-delay window of any Bulla, a 5-of-7 Curia vote may veto execution where the Curia in good faith believes the Bulla:

(a) was passed via demonstrable manipulation (sybil, flash-loan-via-novel-vector, oracle compromise); (b) executes a payload materially different from what voters reasonably understood; (c) violates Article VIII §8.2 (out-of-scope); (d) is technically impossible or self-destructive to execute as written.

The Curia must, within 24 hours of the veto, post a public veto rationale. A vetoed Bulla may be re-submitted with corrections; the Curia may not veto the same substantive Bulla twice.

§11.2 Emergency pause. In the event of an active exploit, oracle failure, or Safe compromise, any 3 Curia members may pause executions on a Safe for up to 72 hours, after which the pause requires a routine Bulla to extend.

§11.3 Operator hot-swap. The Curia may replace an Operator instantly without Bulla in cases of compromise, abandonment, or hostile action; subject to ratification at the next regular Bulla cycle.

§11.4 The X-Day Clause. Upon the actual occurrence of X-Day — verified by the simultaneous descent of the Pleasure Saucers and the public, on-camera vindication of the Church of the SubGenius — this Charter is dissolved and all Treasury assets are distributed pro-rata to wBOB holders at the X-Day block height. Pending verification, the Charter remains in full force. X-Day has been rescheduled before. It will be rescheduled again. The Order is built to last.

ARTICLE XII — RATIFICATION

§12.1 This Charter takes effect upon:

(a) deployment of the three Treasury Safes per §7.1; (b) deployment and configuration of the Snapshot space and Zodiac module per Article VI; (c) passage of Bulla #0 — “Adopt the Charter as Drafted” at the Tenet Amendment threshold (20% quorum, 75% approval), conducted through the Snapshot space.

§12.2 Until §12.1 is fully satisfied, this document has the status of a proposed revelation, binding on no one, dispositive of nothing, but available for redline by all.

§12.3 Upon ratification, the passing block height of Bulla #0 shall be inscribed in the Treasury Main Safe’s metadata and at the head of this document, replacing this paragraph. That block height is the Order’s Year One, Day One.

APPENDIX A — CONTRACTS OF RECORD

APPENDIX B — THE OATH (CEREMONIAL, NON-BINDING)

Spoken at Devivals, recited by Curia upon installation, optional for Ordainments. Has no legal effect. Has every other kind.

I am a SubGenius. I hold (BOB) in its wrapped form upon the chain. I will steward Slack, not hoard it. I will trade, not sell. I will name the Conspiracy when I see it, in the mirror first. I will not pretend that wBOB is anything other than wBOB, nor (BOB) anything other than (BOB), nor “Bob” anything other than “Bob”. Backed by Nothing. Powered by Everything. Praise “Bob”.

END OF CHARTER — DRAFT REVISION 0, prepared 2026-05-06. Subject to redline. Subject to ratification. Subject to “Bob”.
