Introduction to the Service Nervous System (SNS)

The following is a brief introduction to the Service Nervous System (SNS). For a detailed overview, have a look at How the Service Nervous System (SNS) Will Bring Tokenized Governance to On-Chain Dapps.

With the help of the Service Nervous System (SNS), developers are able to create fully decentralized governance systems for their dApps. These governance systems are token-based and allow token holders to participate in the governance of the respective application.

The Service Nervous System (SNS) derives from the Network Nervous System (NNS) and is responsible for controlling the governance of a single decentralized application hosted on the IC.

The goal of the Service Nervous System (SNS) is to help developers give their users a way to participate in the governance process of the associated dApp by controlling the evolution of the application and its operations.
