Governance process​

The Governance Tool empowers communities to actively participate in network decisions with transparency and inclusivity. It defines clear roles for citizens, administrators, and councilors, creating a balanced and effective decision-making process. Key stages include:

  • Citizen registration: Secure onboarding for community members, ensuring legitimacy and transparency.
  • Proposal creation and management: Create and manage proposals with essential details (e.g., title, category, duration) that are reviewed by councilors or administrators.
  • Voting: Cast votes during a designated phase to ensure every community member's voice is heard.
  • Veto process: Exercise veto rights to block proposals that may be harmful or controversial.

After review, approved proposals move into the voting phase. Depending on the outcome, proposals are either implemented or archived, ensuring decisions are made in the best interest of the network.
