# Scope

Ola governance takes place on 2 levels: Local and Global. In this section, we discuss the scope of each level and its responsibilities.&#x20;

1. **Local Governance (LeN Level):**  Lending networks can tune specific parameters in their LeN independently of other networks
2. **Global Governance (Platform Level):** Key aspects of the protocol - regarding all LeNs - can be upgraded or modified in one go.

## Governance Token

At this point, Ola's global governance is maintained by Ola's core team and partners. In the future, and as the community evolves and requires it, a governance token to control platform-level decisions will be issued. In the meantime, upgrades to the platform are efficiently deployed by Ola and offered to the lending networks on an opt-in basis. In addition, tailored features can be requested by the lending networks and implemented swiftly without the process of a governance vote.
