# Phase 3: Decentralization and Sovereignty

The third phase marks the transition from a SaaS company to a Protocol. We will begin progressively decentralizing the control and infrastructure of Signet to ensure it remains censorship-resistant and community-governed.

**DAO Governance Activation**\
Control over the protocol parameters will be handed to the Signet DAO. $SIGN holders will begin voting on key decisions, including fee structures, treasury grants, and feature prioritization. The network becomes truly user-owned.

**Decentralized Data Storage**\
We will introduce an option for users to store their analytics logs on decentralized storage networks such as Arweave or IPFS. This ensures that the data is permanent and immune to centralized server outages or censorship. You will own your data physically, not just legally.

**Enterprise API Gateway**\
To support high-frequency trading firms and large-scale social platforms, we will release the Enterprise Gateway. This high-throughput API allows for the programmatic export of raw event streams, enabling data teams to ingest Signet data directly into their own data warehouses like Snowflake or BigQuery.

**The Developer Marketplace**\
We will open the platform to third-party developers. The Marketplace will allow the community to build and sell plugins—such as custom visualization widgets or niche platform integrations—transacting exclusively in $SIGN.
