# Governance

The Lenfi on-chain governance allows improving the protocol with unique features and upgrades with the approval of LENFI token holders. By empowering project supporters to participate in decision-making, Lenfi fulfills its concept of becoming a community-driven lending protocol.

Engaging the community through on-chain governance aims to optimize the protocol’s ability to adapt to changing market conditions. Moreover, it will make core upgrades transparent and easier to implement.

### **Voting**

Each proposal will be voted on [app.aada.finance/governance](https://app.aada.finance/governance). LENFI token holders will receive governance powers proportional to their LENFI balance.

To vote on ongoing proposals, navigate to the **Governance** tab.

Each proposal requires voting for one of the options to legitimize your choice. Users can vote on multiple submissions simultaneously if there is more than one active proposal. If you haven’t voted on a specific proposal yet, you can go back and cast your vote with another transaction. After each voting session, the platform will generate a transaction that will cost \~0.17 ADA in network fees.

After successfully submitting the transaction, each user receives an **I Voted** Lenfi NFT.
