# Governance

Tetreum uses TET as a governance token within its DAO model.

## Governance capabilities described in the source

* Voting on protocol upgrades
* Funding and treasury proposals
* Validator onboarding decisions
* On-chain proposal transparency

The whitepaper also notes that future governance upgrades may include quadratic voting or other mechanisms to improve balance in decision-making.
