# Governance Incentives &  Sustainability

EdgeMob’s governance framework ensures that decision-making, incentives, and funding mechanisms are aligned with the long-term health of the ecosystem. By tying together staking, treasury management, and tokenomics, EdgeMob creates a resilient foundation for decentralized AI compute.

#### Governance Incentives

1. **Token Holder Participation**

* EGMO holders gain voting rights on proposals such as fee structures, treasury allocation, and roadmap priorities.
* Participation is incentivized with governance rewards funded by the treasury.

2. **Staking-Backed Reliability**

* Node operators stake EGMO to secure the network.
* Higher reliability scores, earned through uptime and performance, translate into greater influence and rewards.

3. **Delegated Governance**

* EGMO holders who are not actively running nodes can delegate their voting power and stake to trusted operators.
* This broadens participation and strengthens decentralization.

#### Long-Term Sustainability

1. **Closed-Loop Economy**

* Developer payments in EGMO fund operator rewards, with a percentage flowing into the treasury.
* This creates a cycle where network usage directly fuels sustainability.

2. **Adaptive Treasury Use**

* Treasury funds are dynamically allocated to grants, ecosystem incentives, and research.
* Ensures EdgeMob adapts to new technologies and market conditions.

3. **Progressive Decentralization**

* Early governance may involve the EdgeMob Foundation for coordination.
* Over time, all major decisions transition to community-driven governance through EGMO token holders.

#### Benefits

* **Resilience**: Governance distributes power across a diverse community of stakeholders.
* **Transparency**: On-chain voting and treasury reporting ensure accountability.
* **Alignment**: Incentive design ensures all participants—developers, operators, and token holders—benefit from the network’s growth.

By embedding governance incentives into the tokenomics and treasury framework, EdgeMob ensures it remains a **community-owned, sustainable, and future-ready ecosystem for mobile AI compute.**
