> **Known error in the document:** Section 6.1.4 references a total token supply of 8,800,000,000 XAND. The actual current supply of the XAND token is **4,015,000,000 XAND** (an error that was not caught when the token symbol was updated from XNDE to XAND). All supply-based thresholds should be recalculated against 4.015B until the Constitution is formally amended via XIP.

## 1. Xandeum DAO Constitution
**1.1** This Constitution provides an overview of the governing framework for the holders of XAND (each, a "Tokenholder", and collectively, the "DAO"), which is the governing body for the Xandeum Network (as defined below). Defined terms in this Constitution shall have the meaning ascribed to those terms in the Schedule hereto.
**1.2** Some of the rules and procedures in this Constitution will be enforced directly on a blockchain, and some will not. All rules are equally binding. Actions taken under this Constitution may be on-chain or off-chain actions. On-chain actions are those that are actuated directly by the governance parameters of the DAO as transactions on a blockchain. Off-chain actions are those that are actuated by other means.
**1.3** The "Xandeum Network" is the decentralized Solana-based protocol that enables users to stake SOL to validators participating in Xandeum's scalable storage layer and receive a liquid staking token (xandSOL) representing accumulated validator rewards, tips, and storage rewards. The DAO can direct changes to the protocol source code or related parameters. Anyone can access the Xandeum Network. The DAO maintains a browser-based dashboard facilitating easy access at https://app.realms.today/dao/XAND.
