# Governance NovaDEX has been a community driven since day one - where the community helped to bootstrap the protocol with the testnet. \ \ Since day 1 anyone can come forward with their Testnet NFT or NVX Holdings and propose crucial changes to the protocol via Discord or platforms like Realms. \ \ The community played a crucial role in bootstrapping the protocol with the testnet from the very beginning. \ \ Community involvement was pivotal in refining and developing NovaDEX, turning it into a robust and efficient DEX \ \ As a testament to the community’s commitment to inclusivity, the distribution of NVX tokens was carried out among community members, ensuring that the project's success was shared by those who contributed to its growth \ \ The community decided for the mainnet launch of the NovaDEX protocol. \ \ NovaDEX exemplifies full decentralization in governance, where the community's voice determines the project's future. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
