Blockchain network governance

Governance can involve the following:

  • Managing participation in the network
  • Forming an equitable cost structure that's distributed fairly based on the activity of the participants
  • Allowing for like-minded participating entities to engage in transactions and value creation
  • Managing rules of engagement and social contracts with the aim of promoting fairness

Governance of the blockchain network's governance includes the following:

  • Onboarding and offboarding members
  • Establishing a fair cost structure
  • Detailing how data ownership works
  • Regulatory oversight and compliance reporting
  • Managing a permissioning structure with central management and a voting process, a federated structure, and a delegated structure
  • Managing business operations and SLAs
  • Network support services (the same as for IT governance)
  • Risk optimization (the same as for IT governance)
