Ondo is a governance token tied to the Ondo DAO, established in 2022 as an independent, nonprofit foundation in the Cayman Islands. ONDO holders participate directly in decisions that shape the protocol's direction and strategy. The DAO oversees Flux Finance, a lending protocol designed to accept tokenized securities as collateral — a feature that bridges traditional finance infrastructure with decentralized protocols. Flux Finance operates as the primary product governed by the Ondo DAO, allowing users to leverage institutional-grade financial tools through a decentralized structure. By holding ONDO, you gain voting rights on protocol changes, risk parameters, and resource allocation within the Flux ecosystem. This setup gives the community tangible control rather than leaving governance to a centralized team. The foundation's structure as a stateless entity removes traditional ownership layers, meaning ONDO token holders bear responsibility for the protocol's evolution. If you're exploring lending protocols that work with real-world assets and want a voice in how they operate, Ondo offers direct governance participation without intermediaries making those calls for you.
