# (archive) Paragons Council

The Paragons Council is our key governing council responsible for discussing, debating implications and making decisions on ParagonsDAO Improvement Proposals (PDIPs) and ParagonsDAO Configuration Change Proposal (PCCPs). In addition, the Paragons Council is responsible for seeking budget approval for any changes with the Treasury Council and initiating execution with the Core Contributor Council.

It consists of 5 (previously 7) elected individuals who serve throughout an epoch. It was established via [**PDIP 2 - The Paragons Council; delegated voting power for PDT Holders**](https://discuss.paragonsdao.com/t/pdip-2-the-paragons-council-delegated-voting-power-for-pdt-holders/21)**.**

<summary>We believe in building a healthy web3 ecosystem.</summary>

Web3 technologies, such as blockchain, aim to create a more decentralised internet where users have greater control over their data and digital identity. Web3 is still in early stages, and there is a lot of room for innovation and growth.

By building a healthy web3 ecosystem, we can foster innovation and experimentation, leading to the creation of new products, services, and business models.
