INV is the governance token for Inverse Finace. Staking INV provides voting rights, anti-dilution rewards, DBR streaming rewards, and the ability to borrow against staked positions.
Governance Rights
ControlINV is the governance token, every INV held in a wallet equals one vote in the DAO's onchain governance system. INV holders control all protocol parameters, treasury allocations, risk decisions and strategic direction. No individual or team can make unilateral changes to the protocol. All decisions flow through the governance process, ensuring INV holders retain ultimate control. Daily operations are managed through working groups assigned to specific roles via governance proposals.
Governance Decisions
The Inverse Finance DAO governs every aspect of the protocol through binding onchain votes. This includes setting collateral factors and liquidation parameters across FiRM markets, approving new collateral types after risk assessment, managing DBR issuance rates and auction parameters, allocating treasury funds for liquidity programs and operational expenses, adjusting INV emission schedules and buyback rates, appointing and removing working group members and multisig signers, and executing protocol upgrades or contract deployments.
Treasury Decisions
The TWG working group optimizes the Inverse treasury & manages liquidity operations. Members are assigned to roles via governance proposals.
Revenue Decisions
Governance influences fee structures and revenue allocation

Dividends
INV stakers receive continuous INV rewards with every Ethereum block, designed to protect long-term holders from effects of periodic INV supply expansions. The reward rate is monitored and adjusted by the Policy Comittee. Stakers earn DBR streamed continuously on a per-INV basis. Earned DBR can be held for future DOLA borrowing, swapped for other assets or used to service an existing DOLA loan.
