# 6.1 Decentralized Governance Framework

* **Proposal Mechanism:** NANO token holders can submit proposals to introduce protocol upgrades, fund ecosystem projects, or implement innovative features.

  **Voting System:** A decentralized governance model ensures that proposals are approved through a transparent voting process, where voting power is proportional to the amount of NANO tokens held.

  **Execution:** Approved proposals are executed autonomously via smart contracts, ensuring efficiency, transparency, and trustless implementation.
