Protocol Governance · Built on AXK Network
The network governs itself. Node operators govern the network.
AXK DAO is the governance layer of AXK Network. Every node operator has a vote on protocol changes, fee structures, network expansion, and treasury allocation. Voting weight is proportional to verified network participation — not to speculative token holdings.

Governance by those who build the network.
Most governance token systems give voting power to token holders — which in practice means voting power concentrates in the hands of large early investors with no operational relationship to the network. AXK DAO governs differently: voting weight is determined by verified network activity over the trailing 90 days, and the duration of continuous node operation.
Voting weight formula
weight = (verified_volume_90d × 0.70) + (node_tenure_days × 0.30)
normalized across all active node operators
Example operator
Nyamasheke Coop · RW
90-day volume
trade volume → weight 0.34
Tenure 180 days
Total 0.46 / 100
Four proposals currently open for vote.
Every node operator is entitled to cast a weighted vote on each proposal. Quorum is 67% of total network voting weight. Voting windows close automatically on the listed end date.

Reduce Phase II verification timeout from 24h to 12h
Reduces the time window for Phase II Consensus verification to improve network throughput for high-frequency trade events. Risk: potential false rejections for slow oracle responses.

Earn governance weight by operating the network.
Governance weight accrues through verified operational participation. Four steps to become an active voting participant in AXK DAO.
- 01
Apply to operate a node on AXK Network
Submit a node operator application describing the node type, jurisdiction, and operational capacity.
- 02
Complete node operator certification
Pass the technical certification process required for your node type — Originator, Vector, Liquidity, Logic, or Observer.
- 03
Begin processing verified trade events
Bring your node online and begin submitting cryptographically signed events to the XRPL proof chain.
- 04
Governance weight accrues automatically
Weight is recalculated daily from on-chain volume and tenure. No claim required — participation is the signal.
Infrastructure governance by infrastructure participants.
Node operator applications are open. Verified network participation begins the moment your node processes its first trade event. Governance weight begins accruing from day one.
