The promise of true decentralization in blockchain can only be fulfilled if we can democratize the way DeFi applications work. For this purpose, the concept of governance comes in handy. Many great DeFi projects are making crucial decisions about protocol changes, hiring developers, and even changing governance frameworks protocols with the help of on-chain and off-chain governance solutions.
Governance Models
Off-chain governance
Off-chain governance usually works in a way that project stakeholders propose the direction of the product/protocol through conventional ways, for example, communities, mailing lists, broadcasts, etc. The power to implement these changes is concentrated with the project key stakeholders, core developers, and miners.
On-chain governance
On-chain governance typically involves governance tokens. The governance token holders can vote proposal changes directly on the blockchain. The voting power is directly proportional to the number of tokens each holder holds. Mostly, the proposals and their implementations are coded into smart contracts, and once certain voting criteria are met.

How Xord can help in your Project’s
Governance
Xord believes in true decentralization through blockchain. And governance protocols have helped fulfill this promise of decentralization. We would always encourage this to all the projects building up in the decentralized world. From project’s finances management to high-level project decisions, Xord can help you in implementing a governance solution that works for you in the long term.
Governance Models
Governance tokens are very similar to conventional stocks of a company. They are used to govern a blockchain project. Governance rights are given to the owners by either holding the tokens as collateral or staking them into a governance protocol. This gives the people the authority to make changes proposals or to vote on them. Usually, the governance protocols have a separate decentralized application for managing the proposals and voting on them
Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs)
DAOs are an efficient and safe way to work with like-minded people and companies around the decentralized world, especially in projects where large funds are involved. With DAOs, you can not only carry out the managerial decisions but automate them. Different DAOs have a different set of rules for their operation, and the DAO members can govern the decisions by proposals and voting to ensure everyone in the organization has a voice. This is a great implementation of truly decentralized governance in the blockchain.
