Decentralized governance power refers to the ability of a community or a distributed group of token holders to collectively make decisions about a protocol or platform. This power is typically exercised through voting mechanisms on proposals, allowing participants to influence upgrades, parameter changes, or treasury allocations. It distributes authority away from a single entity, promoting community ownership and control. This system aims to prevent single points of failure and censorship.
