# Governance

All the decisions in the protocol are taken by the token holders. Whether it be a proposal of some new feature in the protocol, changing any previous feature, developing and finally launching them. All updates and upgrades will be done through democratic consensus. Weightage of one vote will be proportional to the amount of token holdings in that address in comparison to total supply.
