This token function represents tangible and intangible value derived from controlling the decision-making regarding resources, parameters, or updates on the protocol level. The requirement for obtaining governance power is locking the Almanak token in the vote-escrow contract.
The governance power and related value can be obtained only after locking Almanak (action which corresponds to the Transferability Restriction) and casting a vote (the Conditional Action).
The governance of the protocol controls a number of protocol parameters, the distributions of an income stream in the form of regular Almanak emission (cf. CRV gauge emissions), and a countable number of improvement proposals, current and future.
