  1. Participating in the Gradient Ecosystem

Governance and the Role of the GDT Token

Through the Gradient protocol, GDT token holders can participate in network governance and direct the future of the Gradient Protocol based on their own strategies. From a monetary policy perspective, GDT tokens derive their value from the power to direct the development of the network. Participating in protocol governance is essential in ensuring core values and orderly operation of the network. Token holders can engage in:

  • Proposing Changes: GDT holders can propose protocol upgrades, new features, or policy changes.

  • Voting on Proposals: Participate in the governing process by voting on proposals. Votes are weighted according to the amount of GDT controlled.

  • Community Engagement: Participate in discussions and deliberations within the Gradient community to shape the protocol's evolution.
