Mina Protocol Governance: Knowledge Hub

Mina Protocol’s governance vision of a future powered by participants should be both:

Effective so that it delivers on decisions that need to be made for protocol changes and ecosystem funding.
Aligned so that these decisions meet the wishes of the Mina community.

‘Effective’ ensures that the Mina Protocol’s governance delivers on the decisions that need to be made for protocol changes and ecosystem funding.

‘Aligned’ ensures these decisions meet the wishes of the Mina community based on common values, such as Mina’s CORE values.

To be effective and aligned, the Mina Protocol’s governance should possess the following attributes:

Distributed. Shares, rather than concentrates, power across participants, including the power to change the rules.
Accessible. It makes it easy and removes barriers to participation through education, accessible design, and incentives.
Transparent. Ensures everyone knows how and why decisions are made and can evaluate outcomes against predetermined success criteria.
Responsive. Responds in real-time to the community’s needs and to meet the needs of a changing landscape.
Coherent. Runs many processes and decisions in parallel without making decisions that contradict.
Stable. Over time, it learns to become more robust and resistant to corruption, exploitation, and capture by a misaligned faction.
