According to The Block, Starknet DAO will begin the decentralized governance process, and the community will vote for the first time on whether to launch its latest protocol upgrade, Starknet Alpha v0.11.0. The DAO chose March 21 as the start of the upgrade voting period, which will be conducted via Snapshot and is expected to take six days to complete. In addition, the first phase of Starknet governance will focus on protocol upgrades, and community members will be able to vote on each protocol upgrade released, with each successful vote leading to the launch of a new protocol version on the Starknet mainnet. The planned protocol upgrade for Starknet will be launched on the Goerli testnet while the vote is in progress, followed by the mainnet launch if the vote passes.
