Governance Sanctions

Governance Sanctions are actions taken by a decentralized community or a governing body to punish participants who violate community standards or protocol rules. These sanctions can range from temporary suspension of voting rights to permanent exclusion from the protocol's treasury or governance processes.

Unlike automated slashing, these are often decided through community voting or by an elected committee. They are used to address behaviors that may not be explicitly covered by code-based slashing conditions but are still detrimental to the ecosystem.

This allows for a more nuanced approach to regulation within a decentralized framework. It balances the need for algorithmic enforcement with the flexibility of human oversight.
