Blockchain technology is at the forefront of a revolution in how organizations are governed. Governance by decentralized organizations that can even cooperate with each other, and align decisions and incentives is showing how the emerging interconnected Web 3.0 will radically change how they run organizations.

The fundamental disruptive theme of the blockchain is its ability to decentralize consensus and trust between unknown actors in any network of interactions and transactions. Thusly, important issues are decided by the community of token holders of a respective platform which, in their case, pertain to employee recruitment.

In this context, for many blockchain experts, governance stands as a matter of crucial importance in the development of projects on the blockchain and their long-term sustainability.

But before exploring how Bondex empowers the community of its ecosystem through decentralized governance, let’s define what the community governance model popular with this disruptive technology is about.

Definition and Origin Of Governance on the Blockchain

Governance on the blockchain can be defined as a set of well-defined rules that are often organized by a broad social structure. Through this governance, the general guidelines for the development of the project are set, that is, the basic rules for the management and development of the project.

Initially, cryptocurrency projects like Bitcoin did not have a defined governance or regulatory structure. In fact, governance was actually centralized, with Satoshi Nakamoto’s decisions deciding the course of the project.

However, with the disappearance of Nakamoto and the arrival of Gavin Andressen at the head of the project, this began to change. In fact, the most important contribution to the governance of Bitcoin was the arrival of the Bitcoin Improvements Proposals (BIP). The BIP-001 created by Amir Taaki (and later improved by Luke Dashjr) would be the ones that would define the future of governance of Bitcoin.

Of course, this model was also replicated in other projects, such as Litecoin and Ethereum. While other projects started other forms of more open governance. This would be the case of DASH which notably introduced the first DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) of the crypto world.

Ultimately, governance in blockchain projects is fundamental, and each structure is adapted by the community and the developers of that project.

The Bondx Token: Bridge to Governance at Bondex

As they have seen, blockchain governance arises with the idea of managing the ever-changing state of blockchain platform needs and demands. There are currently on-chain and off-chain models in the ecosystem to exercise governance.

In the case of Bondex, the team has implemented blockchain governance by using its native token BNDX (on-chain). Through the platform’s native token, BNDX token holders can act in decision-making roles within the Bondex ecosystem through on-chain voting mechanisms that are optimized for this specific network.

Thus, Bondex users will not only be able to monetize their data used in the Bondex ecosystem through the BNDX token, butalso drive participation through incentives and as a means for holders to participate in key governance decisions affecting features of the platform, fees charged, revenue distribution, and tokenomics.

It is important to mention that BNDX tokens can be obtained by ecosystem users through network rewards and incentives by providing honest and verifiable data about their professional life, by referral and invite by other users to Bondex, or simply by staking and locking-up tokens for long durations.

In addition, each user receives rewards in the BNDX token at a base rate when they do specific tasks in the Bondex ecosystem such as helping the network grow, completing their professional profile or verifying their credentials.

In this way, Bondex generates a performance profile of the participants in its decentralized network for talent based on their contribution from the network, allowing constant bonuses in the form of BNDX tokens.

Thus, the ecosystem allows the holders of these tokens to participate in a circular economy that is ultimately being empowered by the community by allowing them to make key decisions in the project as they exercise their right to vote on-chain with the tokens earned within the ecosystem in the aforementioned ways.

Referring potential talent or employers to the ecosystem, verifying your credentials on the blockchain or providing outstanding client satisfaction on the Bondex network and earning BNDX tokens for it; are just some of the forms of incentives within the ecosystem providing the opportunity to exercise your voice in the decision-making of the next talent revolution!
