Governance process

The governance tool empowers communities to participate actively in network decisions with transparency and inclusivity. It delineates 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: Draft and manage proposals with vital details (e.g., title, category, duration) that are reviewed by councilors or administrators.
  • Voting: Cast votes during a designated phase, ensuring 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 transition into the voting phase. Depending on the outcome, proposals are either implemented or archived, ensuring decisions are made in the network’s best interest.
