Democratic Consensus

Definition

Democratic consensus in digital systems refers to a method where decisions are made through collective agreement among a distributed group of participants, typically by voting or similar participatory mechanisms. This process ensures that the majority view, or a supermajority, determines the direction or outcome of a protocol or project. It seeks to distribute power widely, preventing any single entity from imposing its will. This approach is fundamental to the governance of many decentralized networks.
