About — The Foundation
Building the Universal Standard for Digital Consent Identity
The DCID DAO Foundation is building the new universal standard for Digital Consent Identity (DCID)—a user-first framework that empowers individuals to give, manage, and revoke consent once, and have that consent respected across the digital ecosystem.
Our Mission
A user-first framework for the digital age
In a world where data is constantly collected and privacy is often overlooked, we are creating the infrastructure to make ethical, permissioned data use the default—not the exception.
At the heart of our mission is the belief that consent should be portable, programmable, and persistent. Whether you’re a consumer, a developer, or an enterprise, DCID provides a seamless way to ensure that data relationships are built on trust—not dark patterns or buried terms of service.
01 — Our Mission
Our Mission: Consent as a Human Right
The DCID DAO Foundation was founded on the belief that consent is not just a regulatory checkbox — it is a fundamental human right. We are building the infrastructure that gives every person the power to control how their data is used, shared, and revoked.
Three Paths to Participation
Whether you are an individual, a business, or a developer — there is a place for you in the DCID ecosystem.
For Developers
Developers are invited to build on the DCID standard using our open-source tools, APIs, and documentation. Whether you’re integrating programmable consent into a platform or developing new applications that require trust and transparency, DCID provides the building blocks to make it possible.
For Individuals
Individuals who adopt the Digital Consent ID standard can actively participate in the DCID DAO, receive voting tokens, and help shape the future of digital identity, privacy, and data oversight.
For Businesses
Businesses can join the Foundation through one of four membership tiers—Founding, Platinum, Gold, or Silver. These members help fund critical infrastructure, contribute to DAO stewardship, and play a direct role in shaping the evolution and adoption of the Consent Standard across industries.
DAO Governance
Decentralized, transparent, community-driven
As a DAO foundation, we believe the future of identity should be decentralized, verifiable, and community-led.
Tokenized Voting
Every member receives governance tokens that grant voting rights on protocol upgrades, fund allocation, and strategic direction.
Regulatory Advisory Board
An independent board of legal, privacy, and compliance experts ensures the protocol evolves within global regulatory frameworks.
On-Chain Transparency
All governance decisions are recorded on-chain, providing an immutable audit trail of community decision-making.
02 — Governance
Decentralized Governance for a Shared Standard
As a decentralized autonomous organization, the DCID Foundation is governed by its members — not a single corporation. Decisions are made transparently through on-chain voting, ensuring the standard evolves to serve the community, not private interests.
Consent is not a checkbox. It is a fundamental human right — and the foundation of trust in the digital age.
