Taiko's governance structure is built around the Taiko DAO, which is responsible for overseeing protocol upgrades, parameter adjustments, and other critical decisions. The DAO is composed of TAIKO token holders who have voting rights, ensuring that the protocol remains community-driven and decentralised. Supporting the DAO are several key organisations, including Taiko Labs, which focuses on research and development; the Taiko Treasury, which manages the protocol's funds; and the Taiko Foundation, which fosters ecosystem growth and development. The Taiko Security Council, elected by the DAO, provides an additional layer of security by managing emergency actions and overseeing the Guardian Provers.
