Community Review Window

The community review window is the duration during which a proposed protocol upgrade is made public for analysis by the ecosystem. This period is vital for crowdsourcing security audits and ensuring that the proposed changes align with the community's interests.

It encourages participation from independent researchers and security experts. By making the upgrade process transparent, the protocol builds trust with its users.

The review window is typically facilitated by the timelock mechanism. It turns the upgrade process into a collaborative effort rather than a top-down mandate.

This transparency is a key differentiator for healthy, decentralized projects.
