introducing the Polygon Governance Hub — a unified & transparent interface for community governance, developed with @AragonProject.
built hand-in-hand with the community, the hub marks the next chapter of Polygon governance and community ownership.
more on what this means 🧵
the governance hub is designed to empower users and builders to influence core development of Polygon tech.
built in phases together with Aragon, it will incorporate community feedback at every step, ensuring the platform is decentralized and infused with community values.
the hub features a unified interface for two of the three Polygon governance pillars:
- protocol governance
- system smart contract governance
for the former, the hub increases transparency and participation. for the latter, it introduces an upgraded governance framework.
