The project is still in the early stages of decentralization. “As progress is made on the decentralization continuum, actions like council formation, resource allocation, on-chain voting, and treasury activation will be unlocked,” the blog post said.

The primary aim is to entrust the collective to foster self-governance. Therefore, a team of core community members of Axie Infinity, the "town builders," was created in May.
