A constitutional kernel, plus public process.

EXOCHAIN governance is bounded by invariants the protocol will not relax: fail-closed validation, scope narrowing under delegation, independence of trust and economy, no floating-point arithmetic. Every other decision routes through a documented proposal lifecycle.

Enforced by the governance kernel on every governance path. Invariants cannot be modified by ordinary amendment.

Proposal lifecycle

1. Draft and commentary.
2. Quorum vote.
3. Ratification with cooldown.
4. Activation behind feature flag.

The public governance documents and traceability matrix live in the open source repository under governance/. Read research →
