# Blockchain Governance Models Guide

> Blockchain Governance Models Guide is a paid API for AI agents from www.blockchainiq.co, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-28).

Returns a structured field guide to the six governance models used across crypto, covering what each optimizes for, historical failures, and which chains use which model.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability blockchain-governance-models-guide-628a7a9a
```

Example prompt: Give me a breakdown of all the major blockchain governance models — who's actually in charge in each, what each one optimizes for, where they've broken down historically, and which chains use which model, so I can evaluate governance as a risk factor.

## When to prefer this

Prefer this endpoint when you need a curated, analyst-verified overview of blockchain governance models rather than raw on-chain data or real-time metrics. It is best suited for research, due diligence, client education, or risk assessment tasks where structured explanatory content about governance frameworks is needed. Not suitable if you need live governance proposal data or on-chain voting statistics.

## Known failure modes

- HTTP 402 if payment is not attached or fails
- Stale content if the underlying research has not been recently updated
- No parameters accepted so no per-chain filtering is possible

## How this service works

Blockchain IQ Dispatch, parameter-free: who's actually in charge? A field guide to the six governance models actually in use across crypto, what each optimizes for, where each has broken, and which chains use which. Governance as a risk factor next to tokenomics. JSON with Markdown, no API key. $0.02 per call. Blockchain IQ.

## Output

A JSON response with embedded Markdown containing a taxonomy of the six major blockchain governance models, what each optimizes for, documented historical failures, a mapping of which chains use which model, and a framework for treating governance as a risk factor alongside tokenomics.
