Governance & MENTO

Mento is community-governed through the MENTO token. Learn how governance works, explore tokenomics, distribution, discover how to participate in decisions, and understand safety mechanisms in place.

Mento V3 is community-governed through the MENTO token. Governance controls protocol parameters (fees, rebalance incentives, TradingLimitsV2, circuit breaker thresholds), oracle and feed configuration, pool allowlists, and Reserve policy. veMENTO (vote-escrowed MENTO) gives increased voting power for longer lock-ups. Protocol revenue is intended to flow to MENTO holders indirectly through governance-directed MENTO token buybacks, not through direct veMENTO revenue sharing.

What is governed: Protocol parameters (fee structures, risk parameters, pool configuration), oracle management (provider selection, feed configuration), and technical upgrades (contract updates, security patches, integration approvals). All decisions execute on-chain with timelocks and optional watchdog veto during the transition period.
