Governance lets the network evolve: parameters, upgrades, and resource allocation. JIT is the governance asset. J1USD remains neutral from voting power so settlement volume cannot quietly buy constitutional control.
Governance posture
- Governance before ownership theater
- Contribution-weighted legitimacy over pure plutocracy where possible
- Clear separation between ordinary proposals and constitutive changes
- Transparent treasury alignment with network security
Hosts in governance
Tokenomics reserves 10% of original JIT mint as Governance (Hosts). Operators who lock JIT to open corridors are economically inside the same asset used to vote. That is alignment, not a claim that every Host automatically controls protocol upgrades.
Live surface
JIT holders vote on network proposals in the AirJIT app. J1USD admin roles on the UUPS token are a separate, disclosed administrative surface — see J1USD risks — not the same thing as open JIT governance.
