Governance is the way that decisions get made. The governance of a blockchain is typically decentralized and community driven. While no single entity or individual owns a blockchain, decisions about its governance are made through various mechanisms and processes designed to ensure the network's security, stability, and evolution. The goal of decentralized blockchain governance is to ensure that decisions are made collectively and transparently, reflecting the interests of the community as a whole rather than being controlled by a central authority.
The Switch Blockchain is governed by a Distributed Governance Framework (DGF), a blockchain coordination protocol made up of Switch Node Owners.
What is Node Governance?
The administration of blockchain governance is supported by Node Governance LLC, a Swiss entity dedicated to this purpose. Node Governance LLC was voted under the DGF charter to operate on behalf of the Switch Node Network. Among the numerous duties assigned to Node Governance is to assume the responsibility of getting the SWITCH token listed on various exchanges and to facilitate proposals and voting.
The Switch node network Distributed Governance Framework Interface is now accessible at https://switch.node-governance.io/governance. This interface is provided by Node Governance but controlled by the Switch DGF.
The Switch DGF uses this interface to share information and enact the governance over the Switch Blockchain. Whether you’re a seasoned blockchain enthusiast, a curious newcomer, or an avid participant in the community, we welcome you to check out the Switch DGF interface.
