# Governance Smart Contract

The governance system consists of several key smart contracts working together to enable decentralized decision-making:

<table data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Token Contract</strong></td><td>This contract manages the balances of token holders and tracks the voting power of designated delegates. It is central to determining who can participate in governance decisions based on voting power.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Governor Contract</strong></td><td>Acting as the core access control for the governance system, the Governor contract processes proposals, manages voting, and determines proposal outcomes as either passed or failed. This contract utilizes OpenZeppelin’s standard Governor contract.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Timelock Contract</strong></td><td>The Timelock contract is responsible for handling the execution of proposals passed by the Governor contract. It introduces a time delay before executing successful proposals, allowing stakeholders an opportunity to review and respond if necessary.</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.tevaera.com/governance/governance-process/governance-smart-contract.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
