## Buyer Intent Signals
Problems: Off-chain voting via forums/social media: Instead of on-chain, verifiable voting, decisions could be made through less formal methods like community polls on forums or social media, lacking direct enf | Centralized development team: Rather than decentralized governance, a single development team or entity could make all protocol decisions without direct community voting. | Stagnant protocol development: Without a governance mechanism, the blockchain protocol would struggle to adapt, upgrade, or respond to community needs, leading to stagnation.
