# Governance Tiers

To ensure inclusivity and balance within its governance structure, GAYA incorporates a tiered approach to decision-making. These tiers define the level of influence and responsibilities for various participants in the ecosystem:

* <mark style="color:purple;">General Stakeholders</mark>: All GayaCoin holders have voting rights, allowing them to participate in general proposals and contribute to the platform’s evolution. This tier ensures inclusivity by giving every stakeholder a voice.
* <mark style="color:purple;">Delegated Voting Power</mark>: Users with larger stakes or those who delegate their voting rights can influence more significant decisions, such as protocol upgrades, treasury allocations, and strategic partnerships. This tier enables efficient decision-making while maintaining decentralization.
* <mark style="color:purple;">Core Contributors</mark>: Experienced and active community members form specialized committees to provide expert insights into complex governance matters. These contributors play a critical role in advising on technical and strategic initiatives, ensuring informed decision-making.

This multi-tiered system balances inclusivity and efficiency, empowering all participants while leveraging the expertise of dedicated contributors to guide the platform’s growth.
