One of the chief cornerstones of modern decentralized finance (DeFi) and even open finance is DAO governance. DeFi is constantly evolving, and one of the great ways a protocol or project can scale or expand to accommodate innovation is through a conglomerate of ideas from passionate users of the protocol. Criticisms are another side of the coin.&#x20;

DAO governance makes it possible for lovers of DeFi and a project to contribute using the project’s governance tokens. For Qroniswap, you can participate in governance protocols using the $QNI token. Your voting power depends on the quantity of $QNI tokens you hold at a given time.
