Qubic governance is driven by both Computors and its community. Computors decide on core proposals that guide the protocol and are related to the Computor Controlled Fund (CCF), while all holders can take part in open polls that shape the wider ecosystem.
Fund separation
CCF, Incubation and Listing hold separate capital under separate control. No shared wallet.
Decision vs execution
Boards set direction. Workgroups and projects execute. The two never collapse into one body.
Independent oversight
Auditing is mandatory, structurally independent, and published for the community.
Protocol primacy
Protocol rules override every governance decision. No vote and no budget can change that.
The governance map
Select any entity for its mandate, its authority, and — just as importantly — what it is not permitted to do.
Deadlock
Where governance bodies cannot resolve a non-protocol dispute, the matter escalates to Computors as final stabiliser.
Emergency technical authority
On immediate risk to network integrity, the Tech Workgroup may take temporary protective action — risk mitigation only, with a published incident report and post-event review. Never policy.
Every conflict has a defined path
| Conflict | First arbiter | Escalation | Final authority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operational | Strategic Board | Computor review | Computors |
| Funding — CCF | Strategic Board | Computor review | Computors |
| Funding — isolated | Respective Board | Abuse intervention only | Board mandate |
| Strategic | Strategic Board | Computor review | Computors |
| Protocol | Tech Workgroup | CFB | Protocol binding |
