DAO-governed protocol

ShardKeep Governance.

Finalized public governance proposals. Every Warden, every Bastion, every protocol change passes through on-chain governance enforced by code — not a single company's discretion.

Proposal v2 Finalized April 2026

The Unbreakable Governance Model

Two Realms DAOs — one on DevNet, one on MainNet — hold the authority to admit new infrastructure operators to the ShardKeep network. Every Warden and every Bastion passes through a 5-gate pipeline alternating between council oversight and peer vote. Each admission produces a soulbound cNFT on DevNet, another on MainNet, cryptographically cross-bound to immovable PDA-owned node wallets. Slashing rules live in the program, not in council votes.
