How Does ‘Governance Minimization’ Enhance DAO Security?

Governance minimization enhances DAO security by reducing the number of parameters and functions that the DAO's governance system can control. The goal is to hard-code as much of the protocol's core financial logic as possible, making it immutable.

This limits the attack surface for governance attacks and reduces the potential impact of a malicious proposal. By minimizing the scope of human (or token-holder) decision-making, the protocol relies more on trustless code and less on potentially corruptible governance.
