OpenGov Polkadot: The Most Decentralized Governance in Web3? 🏛️🗳️
In June 2025, Polkadot prides itself on its decentralized governance system (OpenGov). This system allows every DOT holder to participate in decisions, from small treasury proposals to critical protocol code updates. Voting occurs across multiple tracks, allowing for a more efficient processing of large numbers of proposals. A recent vote on a proposal to convert 500,000 DOT into tBTC for a strategic reserve showed how active and sometimes controversial the community is in governance.
