# Decentralized Governance

Nebula is committed to evolving into a **Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO)** as part of its long-term vision. This transition will empower the **community of token holders** to actively participate in **protocol upgrades**, **risk parameter adjustments**, and **strategic initiatives**, ensuring transparent and decentralized decision-making.

The DAO structure aligns Nebula with the principles of **Web3** and fosters **community engagement**, creating a governance framework that is adaptable to changing market conditions. This decentralized model ensures **future-proof scalability**, allowing the protocol to evolve organically and efficiently as the DeFi ecosystem continues to grow.
