Q Protocol is a decentralised management layer for Web3. It establishes the concept of co-management security: a new key primitive in the modular blockchain stack. Applications and protocols can choose the Q governance infrastructure for instant security updates. As a full-featured governance operating system, the Q protocol solves some of cryptography's most pressing problems: it prevents governance exploits and reduces the legal and regulatory risks associated with centralised decision-making.

Q plans to fulfil the needs in different sectors.

• For AI, Q: provides a governance structure that can be deployed to secure AI in a decentralised world.

• For decentralised organisations, Q provides governance that goes beyond ‘code is law’, enforcing agreed rules and integrating dispute resolution.

• At DeFi, Q provides a governance framework for risk mitigation and new model adoption.

• Developers benefit from EVM compatibility and governance-as-a-service features.

• Validators and token holders benefit from a secure and sustainable ecosystem with rewarding and participatory governance capabilities.
