An On-Chain Governance Model defines the rules and procedures for making decisions about a blockchain protocol’s future development and operational parameters, with these decisions recorded and executed directly on the blockchain itself. This model allows token holders to propose, vote on, and implement changes to the protocol in a transparent and auditable manner. It represents a decentralized approach to managing the evolution of a digital asset system. The voting power is typically proportional to the amount of tokens held.
Context
The efficacy and decentralization of on-chain governance models are constant subjects of debate and refinement within the digital asset community. Concerns often involve voter apathy, whale dominance, and the complexity of proposal mechanisms. Recent protocol upgrades and community initiatives frequently highlight efforts to improve participation, delegate voting power effectively, and ensure fair representation in decision-making processes.
