The native governance token, PNG, enables the community to drive the development of the product in full. Governance PNG’s governance is highly community-driven. The development of Pangolin remains entirely up to the wider community as there are no insiders, such as investors, team members, or other such stakeholders, Pangolin governance enables several key actions, such as modifications to the liquidity pools, and fee switching.

Also, during a voting period, a simple majority (50%) of ‘yes’ votes weighted by delegated PNG that totals at least 15% of the circulating supply of PNG is required to reach a quorum.
