As key feature of blockchain, decentralization is affected by blockchain product, user, business value, etc. Asch (XAS), as a public chain, adheres to self-governing value, aims to achieve decentralization by community self-governing. The latest v1.4 mainnet update adds proposal function to further enhance democracy of the system.
Currently, proposal function in Asch (XAS) v1.4 mainnet can be used to gateway, including new gateway adding, gateway initialization, membership alteration. In the future, proposal function may have more use case, e.g. modifying mainnet parameter, adjusting handling charge, managing council fund. https://medium.com/aschplatform/asch-further-improving-decentralization-by-democratized-proposal-feature-f84b5dbcdd4a
