# Governance

<Note>
  Full governance framework is under development. This page outlines the planned structure. Community input is welcome via our Telegram and Twitter channels.

## Governance Philosophy

ViewFT believes that the people who build credibility in the ecosystem should have proportional influence over its direction. Governance power comes from ViewCred and token holdings together — neither alone is sufficient.

## Planned Governance Structure

### Community Proposals

* Any user with Trusted Voice ViewCred (400+) can submit governance proposals
* Proposals cover: reward pool changes, verification rules, feature prioritization, treasury spending

### Voting

* Votes weighted by a combination of \$VIEW token holdings and ViewCred Score
* This dual-weighting prevents pure plutocracy (money-only voting) while still giving token holders influence
* Minimum quorum required for proposals to pass

### The Senate Role in Governance

* Senate members serve as an advisory body on governance proposals
* They provide expert analysis but do not have veto power over community votes
* Senate can fast-track emergency proposals (security issues, critical bugs)

### Progressive Decentralization

Phase I: Core team makes decisions with community input
Phase II: Community proposals and voting on non-critical decisions
Phase III: Full on-chain governance for all protocol changes
