Governance and Community
Progressive Decentralization Approach
TrancheVest implements a progressive decentralization approach to governance, beginning with a more centralized structure during early development and gradually transitioning control to the community as the platform matures.
Growing the Tranche Tree Community
Just as our Tranche Tree logo represents growth from a common foundation, our governance and community approach focuses on cultivating a strong, diverse ecosystem of participants with shared values but diverse perspectives:
Root System: Core Principles
Transparency in all operations
User-centric decision making
Risk-appropriate participation
Long-term sustainable growth
Branch Development: Specialized Communities
Low Risk (Sentinel™) community focused on security and stability
Mid Risk (Voyager™) community balancing growth and protection
High Risk (Phoenix™) community exploring innovation and opportunity
Shared Canopy: Unified Governance
Cross-tranche collaboration on platform-wide decisions
Balanced representation from all risk profiles
Mutual support and knowledge sharing
Collective advancement of the platform
