GOVERNANCE & RISK MITIGATION
The Sapien protocol is designed to operate without centralized control, while preserving enterprise-grade quality, transparency, and security.

Governance of the Sapien protocol is expected to shift gradually toward token holders as the network matures. In its early phases, core development is led by the founding contributors. Over time, responsibility for critical decisions will transition to a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).
Governance responsibilities may include:
Treasury allocation and grant approvals
Protocol parameter adjustments (e.g. slashing severity, reward weights)
Whitelisting new task types or verticals
Proposals for upgrades or system migrations
Onboarding or removal of core contributors
All governance actions are expected to be executed via onchain voting and tracked transparently.
Governance rights are expected to be tied to $SAPIEN holdings, subject to participation thresholds and evolving delegation mechanics.
Ongoing Oversight
To ensure long-term trust and resilience, the protocol commits to:
Regular security audits and published risk reviews
Transparent community metrics dashboards
Treasury reports and governance transparency tools
Engagement with third-party legal, operational, and security advisors
