How to Participate in Governance

During Phase 1, only stakers of the GIZA token have influence in community voting. To participate in governance, community members must first stake their GIZA tokens in the protocol's staking contracts. This requirement ensures that governance participants have aligned economic interests with the protocol's long-term success.

Active participation follows a structured process: community members can create forum posts to discuss ideas and provide feedback on protocol operations. When the Security Council prepares to make decisions, they publish proposals on the governance forum, allowing stakers to vote through Snapshot and express their opinions on the proposed changes.

In later phases, the governance model will expand to include community delegates. Community members will be able to nominate themselves as candidates for delegate positions, enabling more direct participation. These elected delegates will serve on specialized councils with authority to make executive decisions in their respective domains.
