# Flexible Governance Participation

* **Cosmos SDK’s Governance Framework**: Validators and delegators in MTT Network can participate in decentralized governance through Cosmos SDK’s built-in governance module. The protocol allows for on-chain proposal submissions, voting, and decision-making processes that are integral to the network’s growth and upgrades.
* **Voting Power Based on Staking**: Validators with a larger stake have more voting power, ensuring that network decisions are made with the best interests of the staked community in mind. This also encourages validators to build trust within the ecosystem.
