How Does a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) Governance Model Potentially Mitigate This Control?

A DAO governance model decentralizes decision-making power away from the core development team and distributes it among token holders. For a rug pull to occur, the developers would need to control the majority of the governance tokens to pass a proposal to unlock or drain the liquidity.

This model, if properly implemented, requires community consensus for major changes, making a unilateral, developer-led theft much harder to execute.
