What's governance?
Governance is simply the way that decisions get made in most organizations. Simple if you have a voice and can get it heard, but not so simple in the traditional ‘Web2’ industries where decision making isn't always visible or transparent. This has long been an issue in the Gaming and Entertainment industries that often operate in silos and communities do not have a say until it is too late.
KARRATco formation: The KARRATco is a new collective with decision-making authority. The KARRATco is governed by The Constitution of the KARRATco, which is a set of rules that describe how the KARRATco will operate.
Token launch: Ownership of $KARRAT tokens represents membership within the KARRATco. Token holders can vote on proposals. $KARRAT will be distributed to eligible wallet addresses via an upcoming airdrop.
Code: KARRATco governance is usually facilitated by a series of smart contracts that enforce a specific decision-making protocol. KARRATco uses smart contracts to codify the decision-making protocol articulated within The Constitution of the KARRATco.
Is there an airdrop?

What sorts of proposals or decisions can the KARRATco make?
The KARRATco is completely decentralized and decision making is fully community based. There are two forms of decisions that can be made, constitutional decisions and non-constitutional KIPs. Proposals are not limited to the below, but just some examples of what could be brought through KARRATco, e.g.:
Establishment of incubation funds for gaming projects, studios and development projects
Funding of community projects and rewards
Development of infrastructure solutions for gaming and entertainment ecosystems
Development of a feature film for a Web3 native IP
Establishment of alliances with esports organizations
Development of partnerships with gaming and entertainment studios their title projects
Building content delivery networks

There is a lot of power to harness. The community will drive proposals and decision making and therefore the direction of the KARRATco.
What is a delegate?
A delegate is like an elected representative. $KARRAT token holders can delegate their voting power to delegates.
Why would I want to become a delegate?
Not all community members will have the time or ability to actively participate in governance. Delegates help these people by offering to vote on their behalf.
Delegates are a critical component of KARRAT's decentralization. Becoming a delegate is a responsibility that requires commitment and effort.
