# Governance Governance plays a pivotal role in upholding the decentralization and autonomy of the Polarity protocol. Through a robust governance framework, the community collectively determines the strategic direction, incentive structures, and future developments of the protocol. By placing decision-making authority in the hands of the community, Polarity fosters a truly decentralized and self-governing ecosystem, aligning its trajectory with the collective interests and vision of its stakeholders. The governance process empowers token holders to propose, deliberate, and vote on matters that shape the protocol's evolution. This includes, but is not limited to, protocol upgrades, lending coefficient, pool weights, fee structure, revenue sharing, and the distribution of rewards to different stakeholders. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
