SYRUP — Governance Rights Report
Tier 1 S1 — Token-Governed Protocol Assessment as of 2026-08-31
GSA-1 fail GSA-2 fail GSA-3 near-miss GSA-4 fail GSA-5 near-miss GSA-6 fail GSA-7 fail GSA-8 fail

Why this rating: MIP-021 rules-based buyback (10/20/30% revenue tiers, publicly posted) is the closest mechanism to Jito's buyback-burn in the entire 30-DAO set — the single closest near-miss, gated only by multisig execution and a 6-month renewable program. GSA-3 near-miss: 6-month program (renewable by governance) — could revert if not renewed; GSA-3 near-miss: multisig-gated execution, not token-holder-compellable
