Governance is the operating system
In ZERA, governance is universal, configurable, and self-enforcing—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.

Who Participates
Participation is configurable per contract: who can propose, who can vote, and which tokens count. ZERA protocol governance uses ZRA as the final arbiter; projects can adopt their own models—their token, their rules.

Protocol Upgrades (ZIP)
ZIP handles protocol-level upgrades via required-version transactions—autonomously executed when passed.
