About web3 governance:
Web3 governance broadly describes the rules and processes that are used for decision-making over platforms and applications that are ‘permissionless’ - meaning anyone with the required resources and capital can take part. It occurs through the software and infrastructure choices of node operators who are unknown to each other, yet whose decisions influence the security and direction of blockchain protocols. Governance at the application layer typically involves decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs), which automate some governance processes through smart contracts. Legal and policy frameworks are being developed worldwide that attempt to accommodate or constrain web3.
