DeFi Dollar is subject to minimal governance which is solely tasked with distributing Protocol Liquidity Incentives (PIL), directing 25% of the protocol's revenue to external initiatives.

Governance has no other functions or powers, as DeFi Dollar's smart contracts are immutable and not upgradeable.
