+# Feature Gate Program
+
+This program serves to manage new features on Solana.
+
+It serves two main purposes: activating new features and revoking features that
+are pending activation.
+
+More information & documentation will follow as this program matures, but you
+can follow the discussions
+[here](https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/issues/32780)!
