Community Agents

Definition ∞ Community agents are individuals or groups within a decentralized network that actively participate in its governance or operational functions. These agents often act on behalf of the broader community, performing tasks such as proposal moderation, dispute resolution, or technical development. Their contributions are crucial for the network’s vitality.
Context ∞ The role and influence of community agents are subjects of continuous examination in decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and other blockchain governance structures. Discussions often focus on mechanisms for incentivizing agent participation, ensuring accountability, and preventing undue concentration of power. The evolution of these agents’ responsibilities will significantly shape the future of decentralized governance models.
