GoldX Governance and Development

GoldX is already a significantly decentralized platform and plans are in motion to achieve full community control over it in the future. Its governance is currently split among the following actors:

1) Network Validators. GoldX validators are entrusted with deciding whether to adopt GoldX improvement proposals (FIPs). Currently, every validator has one vote regardless of their share of the overall network stake but this is likely to change soon.

2) GoldX Foundation and the project team. Like most public blockchain projects at the initial stage of development, the development of the core network protocol and the GoldX treasury that mostly consists of the undistributed genesis GOLDX supply (see the subsection "GOLDX Supply and Current Distribution") are currently mostly managed by a foundation. For GoldX, this role is played by Gibraltar-incorporated company GoldX Limited.

GoldX Foundation employs the GoldX project team whose members' profiles can be found here.

The project team implements network protocol updates adopted by the validators, other protocol changes that do not require validator votes, maintains the full node software. It develops the mobile-centric infrastructure for creating and managing token communities on GoldX. It also works on boosting the adoption of the network through improving the GoldX tech stack, securing new partnerships and integrations, onboarding ecosystem projects and marketing the platform within the crypto space and beyond.

That said, since GoldX is a decentralized public blockchain platform, no permission of the project team is required for anyone who wishes to integrate with or develop on top of GoldX, including the development of the network and node software.

3) GoldX Assembly. See the Assembly page for more details.
