Decentralized Community Governance
Optio operates as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). This means that the governance of the platform is distributed among the community of Optio node owners.
Owned by Node Operators
The governance of the platform is distributed among the community of Optio node owners. These users have the power to propose, discuss, and vote on changes to the platform, including updates to the protocol, the introduction of new features, and the selection of Oracle applications that interact with the blockchain.
Once a proposal is submitted, it enters a discussion phase where the community can debate its merits.
Afterward, the proposal is put to a vote, where the Optio DAO can cast their votes in favor or against the proposal. Each node owner within the Optio Blockchain has one vote for every node they own, ensuring that those with a greater stake in the platform have a corresponding influence on its direction.
A five-member body called the Council of Ordinals, elected from the Optio DAO, is in charge of implementing accepted proposals.

designed to be transparent
The governance process is designed to be as transparent as possible, with all proposals, discussions, and voting results publicly available on the blockchain.
This transparency ensures that all participants are accountable for their actions and that the decision-making process is free from manipulation or corruption.
Additionally, the Council of Ordinal’s operations, including the management of funds, OPT Reward distribution, and project development, are fully auditable, providing the community with a clear view of how resources are allocated and used.
eliminates the risk of unilateral decisions
This decentralized governance ensures that the Optio platform remains transparent, fair, and responsive to the needs of its users.
This model eliminates the risk of unilateral decisions that prioritize profit over user interests, as seen in centralized platforms. Instead, Optio’s governance is driven by the principles of collaboration, transparency, and community engagement.
This not only enhances trust but also aligns the platform’s development with the values and priorities of its users.
