# DAO Governance

In decentralized crypto projects, governance tokens allow users to vote on key protocol decisions, such as changes to fees, supported assets, or system upgrades. The more tokens you hold, the more voting power you have, meaning your vote carries more weight.

To ensure fair and balanced governance, proposals typically require a minimum number of participants (quorum) to be considered valid. This prevents a small group of users from making changes without community involvement.

To further encourage participation and reward long-term supporters, Paydax uses a tiered voting system. Users who hold more PDP tokens gain multiplied voting power based on their tier.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://paydax.gitbook.io/paydax-docs/paydax-whitepaper-v6/dao-governance.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
