Launched in March 2022, the Q Protocol introduces a decentralized governance infrastructure for Web3, featuring Shared Governance Security to fill a crucial gap in Web3 and beyond. Q is built on an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain, providing decentralized protocols, applications and organizations with governance-as-a-service features that mitigate governance-related risks, potentially saving billions in losses. Moreover, Q’s opt-in governance features open a whole new design space for developers, allowing them to build the most sophisticated applications in a fully decentralized way.
