Definition ∞ A Protocol Governance Action refers to a specific decision or change implemented within a blockchain protocol as a result of its established governance mechanisms. These actions can include adjustments to network parameters, upgrades to the underlying code, or the allocation of community funds. Such actions are typically proposed, voted upon by token holders, and then executed directly on the blockchain. They represent the practical application of decentralized decision-making.
