Governance Overview

INV is the governance token of Inverse Finance. Every INV held in your wallet equals one vote in the DAO's on-chain governance system. INV holders control all protocol parameters, treasury allocations, risk decisions, and strategic direction — making them the true owners of the protocol.


What INV Governance Controls

The Inverse Finance DAO governs every aspect of the protocol through binding on-chain votes. This includes setting collateral factors and liquidation parameters across FiRM markets, approving new collateral types after risk assessment, managing DBR issuance rates and auction parameters, allocating treasury funds for liquidity programs and operational expenses, adjusting INV emission schedules and buyback rates, appointing and removing working group members and multisig signers, and executing protocol upgrades or contract deployments.

No individual or team can make unilateral changes to the protocol. All decisions flow through the governance process, ensuring INV holders retain ultimate control.


Governance Parameters

Minimum Voting Power to Submit Proposals: 1,900 INV

Minimum Quorum for Passage: 15,500 INV

Proposals that meet quorum and receive majority support are automatically executed on-chain after the voting period ends. This on-chain execution model ensures governance decisions are binding and trustless — no multisig can block or override a passed proposal (except the Policy Committee's governance guardian role, detailed below).


Working Groups and Multisigs

To manage daily operations efficiently, Inverse Finance operates through working groups assigned specific roles via governance proposals. Each working group operates through a multisig wallet with designated signers and quorum requirements. This structure balances decentralization with operational speed, allowing the DAO to respond quickly to market conditions and protocol needs while maintaining transparency and accountability.

The Risk Working Group (RWG) assumes a head-of-multisigs role, ensuring safety and best practices are followed across all working groups. This governance model is designed to give INV holders direct control over strategic direction while maximizing operational output in a fast-moving DeFi landscape.
