Shutter Network introduced the Perpetual Endowment Network (PEN), a new governance funding model featuring a permanent principal base used to generate yield for a continuous DAO runway. Under the model, the yield generated can be distributed via a quarterly governance vote. Governance membership is represented by non-transferable, non-delegatable one-vote seats purchased via a bonding curve.

The DAO treasury is split into a Principal Vault that holds and grows the core endowment, and a Yield Vault that receives and distributes returns. DAO members can exit at any time for a partial refund on their seat. PEN is currently a conceptual proposal open for community feedback.
