​
Governance Philosophy

Decentralized Governance Model: Centrix operates under a community-governed framework where token holders exercise direct voting power over protocol upgrades, treasury allocation, and strategic initiatives. No central authority controls the network.

​
Core Principles

Decentralized Decision Making

All major decisions voted on by token holders

Transparent Processes

All proposals, votes, and reasoning publicly visible

Meritocratic Participation

Voting power proportional to stake and participation

Community Sovereignty

Community can override any team decision

​

Voting Mechanics

​
Delegation Model

Token holders can:
  • Vote directly on proposals
  • Delegate voting power to trusted representatives
  • Change delegation at any time
  • Vote on individual proposals even if delegated
Flexible Participation: Delegation enables you to remain engaged in governance without monitoring every proposal. Delegate your voting power to trusted community members while retaining the ability to override their votes on issues that matter most to you.

​
Vote Types

Yes/No Voting

Simple binary choice on proposals

Quadratic Voting

Cost to vote increases quadratically (prevents whale dominance)

Ranked Choice

Choose preference order (used for multi-option decisions)

Conviction Voting

Voting power increases with lock-up duration

​
Anti-Gaming Measures

Voting Power Snapshot

Blocks voting with borrowed tokens on same transaction

Vote Escrow (veTokens)

Lock tokens for 1-4 years to increase voting power

If no resolution:
  • Randomly select 5 CXT holders as arbitrators
  • Review evidence from both parties
  • Vote on outcome (majority rule)
  • 7-day resolution window
If party unsatisfied:
  • Can appeal to full token holder governance
  • Full discussion and vote required
  • Final decision binding
