# 7.1. Overview Datagram’s governance enables network participants to propose, vote on, and implement protocol upgrades, ensuring a decentralized decision-making process that aligns with the network’s long-term growth and security. The governance model described for the Datagram Full Cores primarily applies to the **Datagram Grant Pool**. As the ecosystem grows, the Grant Pool will be established from a percentage of the Ecosystem fund 13.5% of all tokens), with the goal of supporting strong projects building in the Datagram ecosystem. While the final size and composition of this pool are still to be determined, it’s worth noting that Datagram as an organization, not any of its members or executives, has unilateral access to the Grant Pool or the ability to circumvent the governance platform. While the Datagram team may propose votes for funding from the Grant Pool, it must meet the same burn requirements and abide by the same voting rules as all participants. Each Full Core has one vote, ensuring equal governance power among operators. However, only active Full Cores can participate in voting, meaning a node must be operational for at least 80% of the voting period to qualify. If a Full Core operator is unavailable, they may delegate their vote to another address while still meeting burn and uptime requirements, ensuring continuous representation without compromising network integrity. On the security front, Datagram mitigates Sybil attacks by verifying Full Core ownership through NFTs and continuously checking operational status, ensuring only legitimate participants influence decisions --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
