The system by which funds and resources are allocated to the wider Lit Protocol ecosystem is actively being worked out. LIP-001 proposes to handle this via a new token model, veLITKEY, which would give LITKEY stakers the power to govern token emissions and where funds are allocated.

Lit remains a federated network at this stage. This means that the set of node operators responsible for performing threshold cryptographic operations is curated, but members of the community can openly participate pending they meet the hardware and staking requirements.

Lit Improvement Proposals (LIPs) are used to propose new features and upgrades to the core Lit Protocol architecture (including smart contracts) and surrounding ecosystem. LIPs are organized into three categories based on their specific content and area of focus. As covered in the sections above, these categories include protocol level improvements, treasury allocation, and governance improvement proposals. LIPs are used to publicly and transparently track protocol upgrades, new features, and growth initiatives through a standardized template and workflow.

All LIPs go through the LIP process (documented below) before being passed off to the Protocol Council for final review and approval. If approved, the proposal is then passed off to the relevant parties for execution / implementation.

At this time, the Lit Protocol development company will be the primary party tasked with creating and submitting new LIPs. However, anyone can suggest improvements or changes by starting a discussion on the Lit governance forum using the applicable “idea” tag. All suggestions will be reviewed and prioritized according to current protocol objectives and available resources.

The Protocol Council—in coordination with the Lit Association—will be the core body tasked with reviewing and approving or rejecting all LIPs at this time. Once Lit Protocol and its associated governance processes have reached a greater level of maturity and stability, the Protocol Council may be dissolved entirely with governance decision making being passed off to relevant ecosystem stakeholders and working groups.
