# Governance

GoPlus Network Governance empowers the community by fostering transparency, inclusivity, and collaboration. It establishes a framework where participants, including data contributors, users, developers, security service providers, and ecosystem partners, help shape the GoPlus security layer.

GoPlus governance is designed to support the security layer for the AI era. As GoPlus expands from Web3 user security into execution security for autonomous systems, governance helps align incentives around verified security data, distributed security compute, open security services, policy standards, and ecosystem growth. Its central responsibility is governing the security service economy in which $GPS is the settlement unit.

### Ecosystem Contributors

Ecosystem contributors include **Data Contributors**, **Security Compute Layer operators**, users, developers, security service providers, and ecosystem partners. These contributors empower the GoPlus ecosystem with security data, analysis capacity, risk intelligence, product feedback, integrations, and governance participation. They are rewarded in $GPS from the settlement generated by security-service consumption and stake $GPS to gain long-term governance influence.

#### **Data Contributor**

* Data Contributors contribute high-quality security data, including Web3 risk data, AI agent threat data, malicious URL data, prompt-injection indicators, token risk data, and supply-chain risk signals.
* Data Contributors are incentivized through reward systems that recognize the value they bring to GoPlus Intelligence, GoPlus AI Security, SafuSkill, DeepScan, Web3 Security, and the broader security network.
  {% endhint %}

#### **Security Compute Layer Operators**

* AVS operators and SecHub participants provide the distributed analysis capacity behind scanning, simulation, audit, and verification workloads.
* Operators stake $GPS to provide capacity and are rewarded in $GPS from the settlement generated by the services they process.
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}

#### **Developers and Security Service Providers**

* Developers and security service providers integrate GoPlus products, build security workflows, contribute threat intelligence, publish third-party security services into the network, and help expand the GoPlus security layer across AI agents and Web3.
* Contributors are rewarded through ecosystem programs based on adoption, quality, and ecosystem contribution, and service providers receive $GPS when their services are consumed.
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}

#### **Users and Ecosystem Partners**

* Users, AI agent operators, wallets, dApps, token projects, exchanges, launchpads, and infrastructure partners provide real-world usage, feedback, and security needs that guide product evolution.
* Ecosystem partners help expand GoPlus adoption by integrating services, contributing risk context, and supporting ecosystem standards.
  {% endhint %}

### The Security Service Economy

**Security-Service Settlement**

Users, business customers, and autonomous systems consume GoPlus security services, including GoPlus AI Security, GoPlus Intelligence and the AI Agent Security API, SafuSkill, DeepScan, transaction protection, SafeToken Protocol, and third-party security services published into the network. This consumption is metered and settled in $GPS. Where customers pay in fiat or stablecoins, GoPlus intends to route a defined share of that revenue into $GPS-denominated settlement on the network side. Settlement funds rewards for data contributors, compute operators, and service providers, as well as product development, ecosystem growth, and ongoing research.

**Staking Requirements for Contributors and Operators**

To maintain credibility and long-term alignment, qualified contributors, operators, and service providers stake $GPS. Staking supports governance participation, accountability, and incentive alignment across data contribution, security compute, integrations, and security service provision.

**Staking-Based Voting Weight Mechanism**

In GoPlus Network governance, participants stake $GPS to acquire voting weight. Voting weight is correlated with the amount staked, ensuring that voters are committed to the ecosystem and responsible for its long-term development.

**Parameters Under Governance**

Governance sets the parameters of the security service economy, including service pricing in $GPS, the share of enterprise revenue routed to $GPS settlement, reward rates for contributors and operators, staking requirements, and the admission of third-party security services into the network.

Through these mechanisms, GoPlus Network Governance supports a vibrant ecosystem while giving contributors, operators, and users a clear path to participate in the growth of the security layer for AI agents and Web3.

## Conclusion

GoPlus Network Governance enables community proposals, voting, and open discussion so that the governance framework can reflect the interests and values of the ecosystem. By coordinating data contributors, compute operators, users, developers, security service providers, and ecosystem partners, and by governing the $GPS security service economy that connects them, governance strengthens the reliability, sustainability, and openness of the GoPlus security layer.
