# Community Tenets

Core values of the ICHI community

**Tenets** are the fundamental values that underly every action, decision or move the **community** makes. The ICHI community believes:

1. **We exist to provide member communities with all the benefits of their own currency.**
2. **Voting power derived from ICHI governs ICHI.**
3. **Only the community of each individual project can govern the treasury backing its currency.**
4. **ICHI holders are incentivized to grow member communities.**

Any **community member** may propose a change to a **tenet.** After rigorous debate, the **community** may vote to change, add, or remove a **tenet**. Over time, we will learn better **tenets**.

Community members can participate in governance through [Snapshot](https://snapshot.org/#/ichi.eth).
