Dear Community,

We are excited to announce that OSEAN DAO will begin its migration to a new and more advanced smart contract infrastructure starting tomorrow.

This upgrade represents a major evolution of our ecosystem—both technically and legally—designed to enhance security, scalability, and long-term sustainability.

About the New Smart Contracts

Our new infrastructure introduces:

  • A modern token architecture (NAUTOR – NAU) with improved fee handling and treasury distribution

  • A fully on-chain governance system powered by Governance NFTs

  • A KYC Registry layer ensuring compliant and secure participation

  • Enhanced DAO control over treasury operations and protocol upgrades

This marks a significant step forward in aligning OSEAN DAO with institutional-grade standards.

MIGRATION PROCESS

OSEAN Token Migration

  • A snapshot will be taken on both chains within the next 2–3 days, prior to the liquidity wipe

  • The exact timing will NOT be announced to prevent manipulation

  • We reserve the right to delay the wipe up until the launch if necessary

Important Rules:

  • Any purchases after the liquidity wipe will NOT be eligible for migration

  • Any claims based on post-wipe activity will be denied

Staking

  • Users who have not yet unstaked will still have time to do so

  • Unstaking will still count toward migration, even after launch

  • However, staking after the wipe will NOT count

Old Token Decommission

  • The current OSEAN token will be fully deprecated

  • It will be:

    • Delisted from all platforms

    • Removed from BscScan / Etherscan relevance

    • Disconnected from the OSEAN ecosystem

NAUTOR (NAU) TOKEN LAUNCH

  • The new token NAUTOR (NAU) will launch on Ethereum

  • All OSEAN apps will be upgraded to support the new smart contracts

  • Launch Date: Sunday, April 5, 2026

Claim Details

  • Claims will open approximately 48 hours after launch

  • Claim website: https://nautortoken.com

  • Migration ratio: 1:1 (OSEAN → NAU)

  • Launch price will match the pre-wipe OSEAN price

GOVERNANCE NFTs

  • Governance NFTs will be distributed via DAO forums

  • Eligible holders will receive instructions on how to claim

  • These NFTs represent:

    • DAO membership

    • Voting power

    • Governance rights

SKIPPER NFTs

  • The new Skipper NFT collection will be delayed

  • Existing holders will retain all DAO benefits, including discounts

  • The new release will likely include:

    • Updated design

    • New staking mechanics on Ethereum

KEY ECOSYSTEM FEATURES

NAUTOR (NAU) Token

  • Buy/Sell tax (max 5%) applied only on DEX interactions. We plan to keep a low tax to encourage trading even down to 1%. DAO controls the percentage of the tax and can change it with a vote. The tax can never be more than 5%.

  • Automatic NAU → ETH swap on sells

  • ETH distributed between:

    • DAO Treasury

    • Nautor operations

  • No transfer restrictions (wallet-to-wallet is fee-free)

  • DAO-controlled parameters (fees, thresholds, wallets)

Governance NFT

  • Represents DAO membership and voting rights

  • Integrated with on-chain voting (ERC721Votes)

  • Cannot be transferred without KYC approval

  • Cannot be burned

  • Marketplace access is restricted and controlled

DAO Governance

  • Proposal creation & voting system

  • Quorum-based execution

  • Full treasury control via governance

  • Adjustable governance parameters (delay, threshold, voting period)

KYC Registry

  • On-chain wallet verification (no personal data stored)

  • Required for:

    • Holding Governance NFTs

    • Participating in governance

  • Managed via role-based permissions

FINAL NOTES

This migration is a critical upgrade for the future of OSEAN DAO.

It strengthens:

  • Security

  • Compliance

  • Governance

  • Ecosystem scalability

We strongly encourage all members to follow the process carefully and stay updated through official channels.
