The Yearn governance process is a DAO process. Everyone who is a token holder can participate to submit and vote proposals through an on-chain process. The proposal will pass through a majority vote with 9 members who possess signatures through a multi-signature wallet with more than 6 out of 9 signatures to implement such an approved proposal.
Yearn Finance v2
Yearn Finance v2 takes a step further. With the more customized design, users can adjust their yield through 3 main components: yVaults, Controller, and Strategies.
