Governance

TOKE carries governance utility over the parameters that shape the protocol's economics and evolution.

What governance decides

Domain	Examples
Fee parameters	Settlement fees, routing priorities
Treasury allocation	Grants, incentives, liquidity
Protocol upgrades	New primitives, standards, integrations

Long-term alignment

Governance is paired with mechanisms designed for durability:

• Liquidity incentives to bootstrap the ecosystem and deepen markets.
• Revenue-sharing rails for agent creators, operators, and platform participants.
• Treasury alignment for long-term protocol sustainability.
• Future fee-capture or buyback mechanisms tied to platform usage.

Reputation-weighted participation

Because operators stake reputation and collateral, governance can weight participation toward those with proven, at-risk commitment to the network — not just transient holders.

Governance scope and mechanics will be detailed alongside the token distribution material, which is addressed separately.
