Its governance is currently split among the following actors: 1\) **Network Validators.** Bitica validators are entrusted with deciding whether to adopt [Bitica improvement proposals](https://docs.biticablockchain.com/general/fips) (FIPs). Currently, every validator has one vote regardless of their share of the overall network stake but this is likely to change soon. 2\) **Bitica Foundation and the project team**. Like most public blockchain projects at the initial stage of development, the development of the core network protocol and the Bitica treasury that mostly consists of the undistributed genesis BDCC supply (see the subsection "[BDCC Supply and Current Distribution](https://docs.biticablockchain.com/general/fuse-token/fuse-supply-and-current-distribution)") are currently mostly managed by a foundation. For Bitica, this role is played by Gibraltar-incorporated company Bitica Limited. Bitica Foundation **employs the Bitica project team** whose members' profiles can be found [here](https://biticablockchain.com/about). The project team implements network protocol updates adopted by the validators, other protocol changes that do not require validator votes, maintains the full node software. It develops the mobile-centric infrastructure for creating and managing token communities on Bitica. It also works on boosting the adoption of the network through improving the Bitica tech stack, securing new partnerships and integrations, onboarding ecosystem projects and marketing the platform within the crypto space and beyond. That said, since Bitica is a decentralized public blockchain platform, **no permission of the project team is required** for anyone who wishes to integrate with or develop on top of Bitica, including the development of the network and node software. 3\) **Bitica Assembly.** See the Assembly [page](https://docs.biticablockchain.com/general/fuse-governance/fuse-assembly) for more details. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.biticablockchain.com/general/learn-about-the-fuse-platform/fuse-governance-and-development.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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.
