Role of witnesses?
Role of witnesses is just to produce and validate blocks for blockchain. Witnesses does not have any role in management as breeze blockchain is run under DAO system, so breeze DAO is the only authority to make decisions about projects.
Important: With next hard fork, IG (Inspector general) of witnesses will be taking charge of all upvoting for witnesses to ensure that only competitive witnesses are upvoted as top block producers. Simple criteria for selection of witnesses will be their approach towards development of breeze project.
