Token Governance

CoinDesk placeholder image

Token Governance is a critical aspect of the cryptocurrency ecosystem and DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations). It refers to the system of rules and procedures that dictate how a cryptocurrency token operates within a blockchain network. This includes decisions on protocol upgrades, token distribution, and other operational aspects. Token holders often have voting rights, enabling a decentralized and democratic decision-making process. Key players in token governance include individual token holders, crypto companies, blockchain networks, and crypto exchanges.
