Governance is the operating system
In ZERA, governance is universal, configurable, and autonomous—spanning protocol upgrades (ZIP), treasury, tokenomics, contract logic, and much more.

What Governance Does
Proposals don’t end in forum posts. They end in on-chain transactions that execute without human handoffs. This closes the traditional gap between decisions and execution.
