SundaeSwap stated that the first governance proposal, which had just passed, was up for a vote at the beginning of February. Any wallet with a minimum of 10,000 SUNDAE might publish proposals to the SundaeSwap community following a successful “temperature check,” which serves as the first testbed for fresh concepts, per the proposal. A member vote will choose governance moderators to ensure an impartial discussion on forums.

SundaeSwap announced the launch of its governance portal at the end of January, along with the debut of its innovative Layer-2 Validium solution.

The SundaeSwap DEX is intended to be a completely decentralized project, and SundaeSwap claimed that it prioritized governance as its first major product release for 2023.

According to DefiLlama, SundaeSwap has $8.2 million in TVL (total locked value). Token holders propose and vote on improvements to a project through a process known as “on-chain governance,” which is employed by several crypto projects.
