# Governance Token

**$VOLA holders play a direct role in shaping the future of Vola Network.**

Through on-chain governance, the community will be able to guide protocol upgrades, adjust economic parameters, and direct treasury funding, ensuring the network evolves in alignment with the interests of its participants rather than any single controlling entity.

{% hint style="warning" icon="dove" %}
**Governance details will be announced in Q4 2026.**\
The content on this page reflects the planned governance model. Full details, voting mechanisms, and participation guides will be published ahead of the governance launch.
