# Governance ### Philosophy Zeltra's governance is designed to evolve progressively, in line with the actual maturity of the network. There is no DAO declared on day one on an empty network this is an honest trajectory toward increasing decentralization. ### Phase 1 - Initial Governance During the PoA phase, technical and economic decisions are made by the founding team in collaboration with the authorized validators. All significant decisions protocol upgrades, economic parameters, fund allocations are documented and made public. Transparency does not wait for decentralization. ### Phase 2 - Multisig The management of the partnership fund is delegated to a **multisignature contract** whose composition is public. Any movement of funds requires the agreement of a quorum of signers no single party can use the resources unilaterally. This architecture ensures the security of funds while remaining transparent and verifiable on-chain. ### Phase 3 - DAO Governance Upon migration to Proof of Stake, an on-chain voting system will be deployed. ZLA holders will be able to: * Propose protocol improvements * Vote on the network's economic parameters * Decide on partnership fund allocations * Approve or reject new partner proposals Voting weight will be proportional to the amount of ZLA staked in the governance protocol aligning voters' interests with those of the network. {% hint style="info" %} DAO governance is not an end in itself. It is the natural outcome of a network that has grown large enough for its participants to be numerous and aligned. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
