📄️ Introduction
Hydration is in the process of fully decentralizing its governance. All decisions which affect the protocol are adopted following a democratic process which is supported by the Substrate democracy module. The central mechanism for establishing consensus among the stakeholders is the referendum.
📄️ Referenda
Referenda allow stakeholders to put a proposal to a weighted, stake-based vote by the wider community. The object of the referendum is some suggested action which affects the protocol - for example, a Treasury payout, or even a change in the runtime code.
📄️ Hydration Council
The Hydration Council is an on-chain entity which plays a key role in the governance of the protocol. This article provides information on the composition of the Council, its main tasks, and the election of Council members.
📄️ Technical Committee
The Technical Committee is a group of experienced core developers which is appointed directly by the Hydration Council. Its main task is to safeguard the technical stability of the protocol.
