Threshold is community-driven and governed by an eponymous DAO that includes the constituencies of both the NuCypher and Keep networks. The Threshold DAO has two primary bodies: the Tokenholder DAO and the Elected Council. The goal of this two-pronged structure is to enhance representation while ensuring accountability. Each of these governance bodies holds the other accountable, similar to the system of checks and balances found in most constitutional governments. They also hold separate responsibilities that are embedded in the governance structure.
