# DAO

Zunami is governed on-chain using the OpenZeppelin Governor contract — a modular and audited governance framework widely used across DeFi. This setup ensures transparency, decentralization, and upgradeability of the protocol through token-holder voting.

***

Key voting categories include:

* The addition of new strategies
* Emission Voting, involving decisions about the distribution of emissions
* Fund transfers within approved Omnipools and APS strategies
* The establishment of default strategies and decisions regarding zunStables inflation or deflation
* Governance proposals that shape the protocol's direction.
