Introduction

HydraDX is in the process of fully decentralizing its governance. All decisions which affect the protocol are adopted following a democratic process which is supported by the Substrate democracy module. The central mechanism for establishing consensus among the stakeholders is the referendum.

This section contains a series of knowledge articles which should provide you with a better understanding of the mechanisms behind the governance of HydraDX. You will find more information on how referenda work, as well as on the two central groups of governance actors: the HydraDX Council and the Technical Committee.
