# Governance Transparency and Data Minimization

MONOPOLY Protocol will gradually open governance participation as the protocol develops. Governance matters primarily include fee and revenue allocation parameters, risk reserve rules, ecosystem incentive programs, RWA data admission standards, market templates, protocol upgrades and treasury use.

Governance must not arbitrarily change the core determination conditions, outcome sources or established settlement rules of markets that are already open. For market outcomes, data disputes and exception handling, the protocol should prioritize the rules, data source priorities and review procedures published before the market opened, rather than ad hoc decisions by a single party.

The protocol will disclose material changes involving core parameters, treasury funds, token releases, risk reserves, buybacks and burns, and protocol upgrades through its website, governance announcements, on-chain addresses or other verifiable records. For significant adjustments that may affect user fund security, market fairness or protocol operations, it will provide reasonable notice and a buffer period before implementation.

The product follows a wallet-first approach and the principle of data minimization. Standard on-chain interaction does not require collecting users’ real names, identity documents or other unnecessary personal information. The protocol processes relevant technical and interaction data only to the extent needed for system security, abnormal behavior handling, applicable requirements or necessary service functions.

Users should understand that on-chain wallet addresses, transaction records and smart contract interactions are publicly verifiable. The protocol will seek to avoid unnecessary links between on-chain addresses and users’ real-world identities, or centralized storage of such linked information.

For the planned social layer, the protocol will establish rules around public content, user authorization and necessary data associations. Public creator views, authorized trading records and model-generated analysis should be clearly distinguished, with source, publication time, update time and citation records preserved where practicable.

Displaying non-public content, account relationships or cross-platform trading records requires explicit user authorization. Users may revoke authorization for future display, although revocation does not alter on-chain records that have already occurred and are publicly verifiable. Cross-context association follows user authorization and data-minimization principles, while community content remains subject to the protocol’s existing content boundaries.
