Community Stewardship
Governance
ubqty operates under a stewardship model where protocol decisions are made through transparent, community-driven governance.
Stewardship model
Unlike traditional corporate governance, ubqty employs a stewardship model where decision-making power is distributed among protocol participants. Stewards are responsible for maintaining the protocol's integrity, security, and long-term sustainability.
This model ensures that no single entity controls the protocol while maintaining the operational efficiency required for institutional-grade infrastructure.
