# Xvitesse Governance and Development

Xvitesse is already a significantly decentralized platform and plans are in motion to achieve full community control over it in the future. Its governance is currently split among the following actors:

1\) **Network Validators.** Xvitesse validators are entrusted with deciding whether to adopt Xvitesse improvement proposals. Currently, every validator has one vote regardless of their share of the overall network stake but this is likely to change soon.

2\) **Xvitesse Foundation and the project team**. Like most public blockchain projects at the initial stage of development, the development of the core network protocol and the Xvitesse treasury that mostly consists of the undistributed genesis XVI supply are currently mostly managed by a foundation. For Xvitesse, this role is played by Gibraltar-incorporated company Xvitesse Limited.

The project team implements network protocol updates adopted by the validators, other protocol changes that do not require validator votes, maintains the full node software. It develops the mobile-centric infrastructure for creating and managing token communities on Xvitesse. It also works on boosting the adoption of the network through improving the Xvitesse tech stack, securing new partnerships and integrations, onboarding ecosystem projects and marketing the platform within the crypto space and beyond.

That said, since Xvitesse is a decentralized public blockchain platform, **no permission of the project team is required** for anyone who wishes to integrate with or develop on top of Xvitesse, including the development of the network and node software.
