# 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 blockchain.
-   Agora aims to be modular and flexible for 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](https://github.com/Liqwid-Labs/plutus-extra/).
