Onchain governance is a system where the rules and parameters of a blockchain protocol are managed and updated directly on the blockchain itself through a transparent voting mechanism involving token holders. Participants use their holdings to propose and vote on changes, such as protocol upgrades, fee adjustments, or treasury allocations. This method promotes decentralized decision-making and direct community participation.
Context

Debates often center on voter participation rates, the influence of large token holders, and the efficiency of making critical protocol changes through a distributed process. Future trends will monitor innovations in governance models aimed at increasing inclusivity and improving decision-making speed.
