Governance Philosophy

Governance exists to strengthen discipline, not to create populism.

Governance Can Influence

• Listing standards policy updates

• Transparency commitments (Trust Hub cadence and module scope)

• Community program parameters (within compliance limits)

Governance Does Not Control

• Custody key management

• Real-time incident response

• Security operations

• Compliance exceptions

Change Discipline

Policies have effective dates. Material changes have changelog entries. Silent changes are prohibited.
