I used to think governance was mostly about who gets to decide.
Vanar made me realize it’s also about how often decisions need to be made at all.
In some systems, everything turns into a vote. Parameters drift. Rules get revisited. Emergency switches become routine. The chain keeps moving, but only because people keep touching the controls.
Vanar feels like it’s trying to reduce that surface. When defaults are stable and boundaries are clear, fewer things need constant human steering.
That doesn’t remove governance.
It makes governance less reactive and more deliberate.
And systems that don’t need to be constantly adjusted tend to earn trust faster than systems that always do.
