A strategic framework for institutions evaluating protocol governance before engagement.
This guide supports institutional risk, compliance, and product teams in understanding who controls protocol-level decisions, how those decisions are enforced, and what failure scenarios to account for before integration.
A governance risk assessment framework built for institutional integration processes:
How to assess who can change protocol behavior, move funds, or bypass controls
Evaluation of tokenholder governance, multisig committees, and DAO structures
Analysis of upgrade processes, quorum thresholds, and time-delay mechanisms
Governance failure scenarios that have led to loss, disruption, or reputational exposure
Institutions cannot interact with infrastructure where rules can be changed without process, oversight, or visibility. Without structured governance evaluation, integration introduces operational, reputational, and financial risk.
This guide helps institutions:
Cantina delivers structured security reviews for institutions engaging with decentralized infrastructure. We help organizations assess smart contract safety, governance integrity, and operational risk before engagement or integration.
