PDAO Token Surface

PrivateDAO now documents and publishes a live Testnet Token-2022 governance voting token profile for reviewer and product surfaces. The previous Devnet mint is preserved below as archived continuity evidence only; the current reviewer-facing token surface is the Testnet mint.

Token Metadata

• Name: PrivateDAO Governance Token
• Network: Testnet
• Utility: Governance Voting Token
• Platform: DeAura

Live Testnet Deployment

• Mint: DFYvBdivHCe4bSErgCiKm2RhwGEcZYbBPFQzLNr37Bie
• Program: TokenzQdBNbLqP5VEhdkAS6EPFLC1PHnBqCXEpPxuEb (Token-2022)
• Decimals: 9
• Metadata URI: https://privatedao.org/assets/pdao-token.json
• Verification wallet / metadata update authority: 4Mm5YTRbJuyA8NcWM85wTnx6ZQMXNph2DSnzCCKLhsMD
• Mint authority: disabled
• Mint-authority disable transaction: 2qFb2dKVEmD2hzmN9d6bajHuxLrk5aqKBvqM1Xb71VNTCfY39XgVV49koPigjoa2Vn41PNMmhp7qxK5KMBxNYvj4
• Associated token account: CeXqKvdjrVYsPZEX2ysBNs6jubofEXEk4emE2qdS4pVg
• Current initial supply: 1,000,000 PDAO
• Published metadata asset: docs/assets/pdao-token.json
• Canonical live governance DAO: FEz2hCLGpDhJ3cdAm5CCWFzrKv8vDDzmmt9UjdF2fApZ

Program Identity Boundary

• PrivateDAO governance program: EP9xE8MJZ6FfyEwLqns6HDdUZBknEa7WGYs1Jzsecuva
• Token-2022 program: TokenzQdBNbLqP5VEhdkAS6EPFLC1PHnBqCXEpPxuEb

Legacy Devnet PDAO token issuance evidence remains archived and must not be read as the current Testnet token surface:

• Legacy Devnet mint: AZUkprJDfJPgAp7L4z3TpCV3KHqLiA8RjHAVhK9HCvDt
• Legacy Devnet token account: F4q77ZMJdC7eoEUw3CCR7DbKGTggyExjuMGKBEiM2ct4
• Legacy Devnet governance program: 5AhUsbQ4mJ8Xh7QJEomuS85qGgmK9iNvFqzF669Y7Psx

These are intentionally different:

• the PrivateDAO governance program id is the on-chain protocol identity
• the Token-2022 program id is the mint program used by the live PDAO token surface

The presence of both ids does not indicate a duplicate PrivateDAO deployment.

Generated Attestation

• Machine-readable attestation: docs/pdao-attestation.generated.json

These transactions are confirmed on Solana Testnet and were executed from the verification wallet above.

Intended Role In PrivateDAO

PDAO is the symbol for the live Token-2022 governance voting token, named PrivateDAO Governance Token, for the current Testnet-facing reviewer path and the canonical token identity for the product surface.

It is intended to represent:

• governance participation
• token-gated proposal creation
• token-gated voting rights
• a clearer user-facing governance token identity across docs and frontend surfaces

What This Does Not Change

This token note does not change the protocol's generalized DAO-configured governance-mint semantics:

• no contract interfaces are changed
• no PDA derivations are changed
• no account layouts are changed
• DAO-level governance mint logic remains the on-chain source of truth

PrivateDAO still supports DAO-configured governance mints at the protocol level. The current canonical Devnet DAO now uses PDAO itself as that live governance mint.

Reviewer Interpretation

Reviewers should read this note as:

• a formal token identity for the Testnet governance surface
• the actual live governance mint for the current canonical Testnet path
• not a claim of a protocol-native fee token
• not a claim of speculative tokenomics
• not a replacement for DAO-specific governance-mint enforcement on-chain
• not a claim that every DAO in the protocol must use this mint

Product Positioning

PDAO is intentionally framed as a governance voting token, not a monetization token.

That keeps the token surface aligned with what PrivateDAO actually does today:

• proposal participation
• voting rights
• governance execution control
• private governance coordination

Consumer Utility Interpretation

For community-facing product surfaces, PDAO should be read as:

• the community participation key
• the proposal-access token
• the voting-rights token
• the token that makes treasury decisions accountable to actual members

That framing is stronger than treating the token as a decorative badge, because it ties the user experience directly to:

• who can propose
• who can vote
• who can influence community treasury outcomes

Launch Surface

What is already true today:

• the token is live on Testnet
• it is published through the DeAura launch path
• its metadata and attestation surfaces are reviewer-visible
• its mint authority is disabled

What remains external to repository code:

• any public distribution page outside the repository itself
• market traction and trading-volume milestones

Those should be attached as operational launch evidence rather than fabricated inside repository docs.
