8. Governance & Integration with Terra Classic Governance

USTD is fully integrated into the Terra Classic blockchain’s established decentralized governance framework. All protocol decisions—including adjustments to yield parameters, fee structures, and risk management measures—are executed through a transparent, community-driven process. Every proposal is submitted, discussed, and voted on by Terra Classic stakeholders, ensuring that no single entity or individual can unilaterally guarantee, manipulate, or otherwise influence yield outcomes or other critical protocol parameters.

This decentralized governance model not only reinforces the technical and operational integrity of USTD but also aligns with the core principles of transparency and accountability. By distributing decision-making authority across the community, USTD mitigates the risk of centralized managerial control and supports the protocol’s long-term stability. In this manner, USTD remains true to its design ethos—where every aspect of the protocol, including yield generation, is an emergent outcome of decentralized market dynamics and collective consensus.

This integration offers several key advantages:

Unified Governance:

USTD benefits from the established and battle-tested governance framework of Terra Classic. Proposals affecting USTD are submitted and voted on alongside other Terra Classic initiatives, ensuring a holistic decision-making process.

Seamless Policy Alignment:

Changes to USTDs parameters—such as yield distribution ratios, fee structures, or emergency protocols—are decided by the Terra Classic community. This ensures that UST evolves in line with the broader ecosystem’s interests and maintains consistency with Terra Classic’s core principles.

Transparency and Accountability:

All governance actions are executed on-chain within the Terra Classic framework. This guarantees that decisions affecting USTD are transparent, recorded, and subject to the same accountability standards as the rest of the Terra ecosystem.

Efficient Coordination:

By leveraging an existing governance model, USTD minimizes overhead and redundancy, allowing rapid adaptation and streamlined upgrades without the need for establishing a separate governance layer.
