Governance Committee’s Role

The Governance Committee (GC) is an advisory body to the Concordium Foundation Board, consisting of technical experts, entrepreneurs, and community members. The GC is tasked with several crucial responsibilities, including:

• Recommending changes to blockchain parameters and protocol updates
• Driving tokenomics changes
• Managing CCD holder proposals and votes
• Preparing for the next phase of decentralization

Responsibilities and Goals

The GC’s primary focus areas include maintaining the stability of the protocol, promoting widespread adoption, and ensuring the blockchain remains decentralized and secure. The committee also plays a key role in including CCD holders in decision-making processes, preventing dominance by single parties, and fostering value creation on the blockchain.

Future of Concordium Governance

As we move through the phases of decentralization, CCD holders will gain more influence over governance decisions. By 2027, all GC members will be elected by the community, marking a fully decentralized governance structure. This journey begins with your participation in the upcoming election.
