The governance method of KAD (KademliaChain) is to promote and manage the development of the platform through community consensus and decentralized decision-making. Its governance mechanism includes the following aspects:

1. Proposals and Discussions: Any community member can submit proposals to improve the KAD protocol, which will be discussed and reviewed in the community.

2. Core developer team: KAD has a core developer team that is responsible for coordinating and promoting the update and maintenance of the core protocol.

3. KAD Improvement Proposal (KIP): KAD Improvement Proposal is a technical standard and protocol update proposal proposed by community members. After discussion and voting, it is incorporated into the updated version of the protocol.

4. Community voting: KAD community members can express their support or opposition to proposals through voting, and community voting is used to determine the direction of protocol updates and the results of important decisions.

5. Major decisions: When disagreements arise in the community, the development direction of the agreement can be determined through Security Council voting and other methods to promote the development and progress of the community.

6. Community governance organizations: In addition to the core developer team, KAD also has a number of community governance organizations and security councils, which are responsible for coordinating community activities, governance decisions, resource allocation and other matters.

Through these governance methods, the KAD community can jointly promote the development and progress of the platform, ensure the security and stability of the protocol, and promote the healthy development of the KAD ecosystem.
