# 🏛️ Overview *The PoolTogether protocol will be transitioning to decentralized governance. In the meantime, the core team serves as the interim governance body.* PoolTogether Governance broadly serves two mandates: * Protocol improvement * Prize Pool management ## Protocol Improvement Governance will guide the evolution of the protocol towards the goal of building products that create financial health. The primary functions of governance are to: * Set [rewards](https://v3.docs.pooltogether.com/governance/overview) for prize pool users * Approve & implement new yield sources for prize pools * Implement new prize strategies In addition to these core functions governance may: * propose integrations with L2 systems * Add additional prizes or rewards * subsidized transactions * insurance coverage * Anything else! ## Prize Pool Management Governance also manages its own set of Prize Pools. These Prize Pools are displayed on the official [PoolTogether App](https://app-v3.pooltogether.com). ## Comptroller All Prize Pools link to a global protocol [Comptroller](https://v3.docs.pooltogether.com/governance/overview). The Comptroller is owned by governance, and determines the reserve rate and rewards Prize Pools. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
