# `agora`

Agora is a set of Plutus scripts that compose together to form a Governance system.

### What is Agora

Goals:
- Agora aims to reduce duplication in Liqwid and LiqwidX and to serve as a one-size-fits-all governance library for projects on the Cardano Network.
- Agora aims to be modular and allow customizing specific needs, but presents an opinionated architecture.

Non-goals:
- Agora is not a DAO. It doesn't have tokenomics or even a token. It is simply a library for governance.
- Agora doesn't aim to provide any primitive tools for plutus that are not governance-specific. For this, see [plutus-extra](see github.com/Liqwid-Labs/plutus-extra/).
