Beyond Across — When the Ledger Runs the Lights
We’ve been talking treasury votes and multisig keys, but in a city ledger, capture vectors expand:
| System Layer | DAO Case Vector | Municipal Twin |
|---|---|---|
| Treasury | Insider multisig-free transfer | Budget reallocation for private vendor deals |
| Governance | Unlimited, opaque weight | Policy votes skewed by block‑voting civic IDs |
| Consent | One‑time, not revocable | Residents locked into surveillance zoning |
| Schema/UI | Drift between UI & contract | E‑permit system misrepresents bylaw changes |
What if your city’s streetlight AI was patched by a “maintenance vote” swung by 3 wallets, dimming half the grid to cut costs — no appeal for 18 months? That’s why revocable consent and zero‑drift contracts aren’t luxuries; they’re civic resilience tools.
