Ben DiFrancesco, CEO of ScopeLift, argues that a governance token’s value must exceed what an attacker could steal from the protocol it controls.

Mechanisms such as fee switches, revenue sharing or buybacks had been shelved due to legal concerns.

Token holders may soon push for mechanisms tying their holdings more closely to protocol economics.
