# Governance Renzo is a decentralized protocol that is governed by holders and delegates of REZ. Governance allows the community to propose, vote, and implement changes to the protocol. Members propose, discuss, vote on, and implement changes, decreasing the reliance on any centralized individual or team. Upon the initial release of governance, a proposal must follow the guidelines outlined in further sections to pass. These guidelines may be updated over time as governance may choose to adjust them. Renzo Proposals can be created and submitted for on-chain voting by whitelisted wallets, with the next phase of governance empowering any $REZ community member to submit proposals. Though not mandatory, it is highly recommended that a discussion post is created prior to the proposal being submitted on chain. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
