From the very beginning, Dolomite has been driven by a vision of a protocol owned and controlled by its token holders. Today, we take another step towards that vision: The Dolomite Governance Forum is officially live.
For the first time, veDOLO holders now have direct control over Dolomite’s future. This isn’t just another governance system — it’s a framework designed to empower you with real influence, in a way that’s streamlined, efficient, and built to last.
Dolomite has always been more than a lending protocol. We’ve grown into an advanced financial primitive on the bleeding edge of DeFi — a modular system powering strategies, liquidity, and capital efficiency across ecosystems.
Now, governance ensures that power is in your hands. Whether it’s which assets get listed, how incentives flow, or how the treasury grows, many major decisions will be guided by the community.
Dolomite isn’t just built for you — it’s built by you.
At the core of governance lies veDOLO, the token that unlocks your influence.
Two ways to acquire veDOLO:
Being a veDOLO holder puts you at the very top of Dolomite’s ecosystem — the most aligned user and token holder, with governance power to shape the protocol’s success.
We designed governance to be powerful but simple and ideally not overly time consuming. Here’s how it works:
Proposals Begin on Discord
All governance discussions and drafts start in the Dolomite Governance Forum on Discord. Your veDOLO balance determines your role:
Temp Check
Proposals that gain traction in the forum will go through a temperature check to measure early support.

Quarterly Compilation
Every three months, all proposals that pass the temp check are bundled together for a series of votes all taking place at the same time.
The Big Vote on BeraVote
Once per quarter, veDOLO holders cast their votes on BeraVote. You’ll be able to vote yes/no on each proposal in the bundle — shaping Dolomite’s next chapter in one decisive session.
Execution
Proposals that pass are implemented by Leavitt Innovations, LLC, ensuring decisions are carried out smoothly and transparently. This rhythm keeps governance focused, efficient, and impactful. You don’t need to vote every week, just four times per year.
At launch, governance will run with the following baseline settings:
These numbers may be refined over time by governance itself.
To keep governance clear and actionable, we’ve prepared templates for proposals starting with:
This simple system lays the foundation of Dolomite’s long-term future as a community-owned protocol. With governance live, every veDOLO holder has a stake, a say, and a direct role in shaping what comes next.
So join us. Head to Discord, link your wallet, and claim your role in the forum. Start debating, start proposing, and prepare for our first quarterly vote.
Dolomite Governance is live. The future is in your hands. 🏔️
