Your decentralized institutes of health (DIH) is a decentralized crowdfunding platform that serves as the single governance layer for all health research funding.

It functions like Kickstarter meets the NIH, but without corruption or bureaucracy - governed by Wishocracy, a pairwise allocation voting system that lets 8 billion people collectively decide how to spend $27.2B annually.

DIH Architecture: Single Governance Layer

Your decentralized institutes of health (DIH) handles ALL budgeting decisions:

  • Governs the allocation of the 1% Treaty Fund treasury
  • Accepts campaign proposals from anyone
  • Uses Wishocracy to allocate funds across competing campaigns
  • No CEO, no board, governed by transparent code

Clean Separation: Governance vs Platform

Separation of concerns: The 1% Treaty Fund is the treasury, a decentralized institute of health provides governance, and a decentralized framework provides the technical platform.

Your decentralized institutes of health (Governance Layer)

  • Handles all budget allocation
  • Wishocracy voting on campaigns
  • Treasury governance
  • Prize distribution

Your decentralized framework for drug assessment (dFDA)

  • Pure technical infrastructure
  • NO budget authority
  • Is funded by the 1% Treaty Fund (as directed by DIH governance)
  • If captured → fund an alternative platform instead

This prevents the “new FDA” problem: a decentralized framework for drug assessment can’t become a bureaucratic bottleneck because it has no independent funding - it’s just one campaign competing with others for 1% Treaty Fund funds.

How Budget Allocation Works

Your decentralized institutes of health (DIH) network uses Wishocracy - a pairwise voting system - to allocate funds across competing campaign proposals.

See Wishocracy for detailed explanation of how pairwise allocation works.

What Gets Funded: Market Failures Only

Since the marketplace enabled by a decentralized framework for drug assessment (dFDA) handles most research allocation automatically (patients choose trials → funding flows there), the 1% Treaty Fund primarily funds market failures - things the marketplace can’t handle:

Infrastructure (Platform Must Exist First)

  • Development and operations for a decentralized framework for drug assessment (~$10B/year)
  • Competing alternative implementations of a decentralized drug assessment framework
  • Data commons infrastructure (storage, processing)
  • Security audits and fraud detection systems

True Public Goods (No Revenue Model)

  • Patient trial participation subsidies (~$800B/year, automatic)
  • Negative results publishing incentives (no revenue from failures)
  • Basic research with no patient application yet (can’t be trials)
  • Replication studies (unglamorous but critical)

Why This is Minimal: The marketplace created by a decentralized framework for drug assessment eliminates most traditional research funding needs. Companies register treatments → Patients join trials → Revenue flows → Research happens. Your decentralized institutes of health only needs to direct the 1% Treaty Fund to cover what the marketplace truly can’t handle.

Dive Deeper into the Governance Model

Security & Anti-Corruption: Building Uncorruptible Institutions

The Challenge: A $27.2B treasury is a massive target for hackers, fraudsters, and corrupt actors.

Traditional DAOs with simple multisig controls have proven vulnerable to both technical exploits and social engineering attacks.

The Multi-Layered Defense

  1. Nobody’s in Charge (And That’s the Point)

    Other organizations that manage billions of dollars this way already exist and work fine.

    Turns out you don’t need a CEO when you have math.

    • Every VICTORY Incentive Alignment Bond holder directly controls treasury through on-chain voting (MakerDAO/Uniswap model)
    • No human signers = no kidnapping, corruption, or coercion targets
    • Smart contracts automatically execute community decisions after 24-72h timelocks
    • Battle-tested approach managing billions in existing DAOs

  2. AI-Powered Fraud Detection

    • Fraud Agent: real-time anomaly detection, duplication monitoring, collusion identification, sybil detection
    • Safety Oracle: incident severity scoring with automatic payout holds for affected interventions
    • Manual review queue for flagged actions with whistleblower bounty rewards
    • Identity Oracle: verifies affiliations and conflicts, prevents unauthorized access

  3. Complete Transparency & Auditability

    • All treasury addresses published with real-time public dashboards
    • Immutable transaction logs with standardized disbursement tags
    • Annual smart contract audits and semiannual operational audits with published reports
    • Hash-committed invoices and budgets for full accountability

  4. Recovery & Response Mechanisms

    • Clawbacks for data falsification or trial misconduct
    • Emergency pause capabilities triggered by incident signals
    • Progressive unpause policies tied to remediation completion
    • Guardian modules for pausing non-critical functions under defined conditions

Beyond Medical Research: A Template for Uncorruptible Governance

This isn’t just about protecting funding for pragmatic clinical trials and other public health goods – it’s an experiment in demonstrating a new model for uncorruptible, transparent governance of public goods.

Using proven DAO models that already manage billions (MakerDAO, Uniswap, Aave), you demonstrate that $27.2B can be managed with:

  • Zero human targets for violence, kidnapping, or corruption
  • True community control through direct token holder governance
  • Complete transparency with all decisions and executions on-chain
  • Automated efficiency eliminating bureaucratic waste and political favoritism

What Else This Could Fix

Once you prove you can run a $27.2B treasury without anyone stealing from it, you can do the same thing for schools, roads, or anything else the government currently screws up.

  • Education: Pay teachers based on whether kids actually learn things
  • Infrastructure: Fund roads that don’t immediately fall apart
  • Environment: Pay for actual carbon reduction, not paperwork
  • Social Services: Get help to people who need it without 47 forms

The End State: Replace corrupt, inefficient bureaucracies with transparent, automated, outcome-driven institutions that actually work and can’t be bribed.

The 1% Treaty Fund becomes the prototype for a new era of public governance - one that eliminates human corruption points entirely while delivering measurable results.

This experiment could usher in a new era of peace, prosperity, and abundance by proving that large-scale public goods can be managed through true decentralization without any centralized control points.
