# Governance, validators & audits

![](/files/Clo3NcAVkiaPyiyODTkj)

Governance, validators, and audits make Sudo useful for serious Web3 teams and communities.

## Governance

Governance participation helps users discover, discuss, and act on proposals. Governance proposal chat cards bring proposal context into conversations, making it easier for communities to coordinate.

A governance card should ideally communicate:

* proposal title and summary
* voting status
* deadline
* available actions
* source/project identity
* risk or verification context

## Validators

Validator surfaces include validators list, validator detail, and POS validator application. These features help users explore validator performance and participation opportunities.

## Audits

Audit surfaces include contract audit studio and latest audit feed.

| Surface               | Purpose                                            |
| --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| Contract audit studio | Analyze contracts and publish audit-style outputs. |
| Latest audit feed     | Show public audit activity and discovery.          |

## Trust posture

Audit and validator features should be documented carefully. Avoid promising safety guarantees unless a formal security process supports them. Use language like “helps review,” “surfaces risk,” or “provides visibility” when appropriate.
