Changed in the open, by proposal.
Major changes to the network's structure, its governance and the token economics of HONEY are made through Map Improvement Proposals — MIPs.
[ How a MIP works ]
- 01 — Propose Anyone can propose Have an idea? Vet it with the Hivemapper community first.
- 02 — Publish On the Foundation blog The initial proposal is published on the Hivemapper Foundation blog.
- 03 — Comment Community input The community weighs in across social platforms such as Discord.
- 04 — Decide Finalize, modify or abandon Every proposal ends in one of three outcomes, on the record.
A notice-and-comment process, like Bitcoin's BIPs. Longer term, governance may grow to include voting.
