# Migration Story

PrivateDAO is not positioned as a greenfield-only DAO product.

The migration story is:

1. start with an existing governance or treasury process
2. move the voting surface into commit-reveal governance
3. move treasury execution into a deterministic DAO-controlled path
4. add confidential payout flows only where they are truly needed
5. preserve reviewer and operator visibility through runtime evidence

## What can migrate first

- treasury approval process
- grant voting
- internal budget approvals
- contributor payment approvals

## What can migrate later

- encrypted payroll
- bonus approvals
- REFHE-bound evaluation paths
- MagicBlock corridor settlement paths

## Why the story works

This reduces migration risk because PrivateDAO does not force every organization to adopt every advanced feature at once.

The product can start as:

- private governance + treasury control

and then grow into:

- confidential organizational operations
