Core is a network that evolves with the community that builds it. Core started with a few very committed individuals and developers who launched and supported the network without funding from VCs or centralized institutions.
§ DECENTRALIZATION
Decentralization is the transfer of control and decision-making from a centralized entity â a specific individual, organization, or group â to a distributed network. While decentralization is powerful, and an aspirational goal for many organizations, it isnât easy. Progressive decentralization, which involves implementing decentralization gradually in phases, is a more effective and sustainable approach.
Governance on the Blockchain
The main purposes of blockchain governance are to:
â Decide on what direction the project should take;
â Discuss and vote on ongoing updates;
Check whether the protocol is running smoothly and efficiently;
âą There are two main forms of blockchain governance, which are often mixed and result in more of a hybrid model:
âą Off-chain governance: This includes public discussions, proposals, and updates that are discussed on platforms such as forums, social media, or live events;
âą On-chain governance: This is a more formal way of governance, where the different stakeholders such as validators, miners, and developers vote on whether they want to implement certain changes or not;
âą Similar to the idea of being a voting citizen in a democratic country, a blockchainâs digital citizens take part in the decision-making process that shapes the ecosystem.
*Progressive Decentralization
Core is targeting three stages of decentralization, and is currently entering stage 2:
â
In the initial stage of the project, most of the decisions take place off-chain.
â
As the project further matures, on-chain governance is increasingly used to determine what some parameters of the Core Network should look like.
â
The final stage of decentralization for Core is to achieve full on-chain governance, where all functions are governed through on-chain voting.
