Definition ∞ Governance manipulation refers to actions taken to unfairly influence or control the decision-making processes within a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) or protocol. This can involve acquiring significant voting power through various means to push through self-serving proposals or block beneficial ones. Such activities undermine the principles of decentralized control.
Context ∞ Discussions concerning governance manipulation frequently arise when significant token accumulations occur or when proposals are enacted that appear to benefit a select few at the expense of the broader community. Debates often focus on the effectiveness of current governance frameworks in preventing such actions and the potential for introducing more resilient voting mechanisms. Future considerations include advanced anti-collusion measures and reputation-based voting systems.
